Netflix series idea: story of a group of women who couldn’t be more different, called Disparate Housewives

[Captain Allen @CptAllenHistory]

On This Day — May 25, 1948

They put a bullet in the back of his head.

The man they executed that day was Witold Pilecki — the only person in history who voluntarily walked into Auschwitz.

In 1940, this Polish cavalry officer deliberately got himself arrested during a Nazi roundup in Warsaw. Using a false identity, he entered hell as prisoner #4859.

For two and a half years, Pilecki lived as a starving skeleton in striped rags while secretly building a resistance network inside the camp. He smuggled out the first detailed eyewitness reports of the Nazi death machine to the Allies — gas chambers, selections, medical experiments, and the systematic murder of Jews.

While he was there, more than 1,000 Jews per day were being gassed and burned. At its peak in 1944, the killing rate reached more than 6,000 per day.

He saw it all.
He documented it all.
He risked everything so the world would know.

In April 1943, Pilecki escaped by overpowering a guard at a bakery outside the wire. He rejoined the fight, battled in the Warsaw Uprising, and later resisted the Soviet occupation of Poland.

For his courage, the communist regime tortured him, staged a show trial, and executed him on May 25, 1948.

One of the great heroes of the 20th century.
Remember his name: Witold Pilecki.

It don’t matter how old you are, just like this 94 year old army veteran, if you have a ball, a glove and a wall, you will have one hell of a time.

How do I teach my body that my fight or flight response is supposed to be for life or death situations, not answering an email

They turned this moment into a bottle of wine 🍷

After Walt Weiss dove in the middle of the brawl, Chris Sale printed the photo… slapped it on a bottle… and Reynaldo López presented it to him in front of the whole team.

“Rousing ovation” and all. That’s how you earn a clubhouse.

They should announce a sequel to Groundhog Day and then just re-release the original.

I was stung by a wasp so I’m drinking plenty of whisky. It happened around forty years ago, but you can’t be too careful.

My dad was in hospice. It was a Tuesday, the quietest day in the world. He hadn't spoken in forty-eight hours. A young man walked in with a guitar. He was a volunteer. "Can I play something?" he asked. "He can't hear you," I said, tired and bitter. "Maybe not," the kid said. "But I can." He played "Amazing Grace" so softly it sounded like a lullaby. Then he played some old Beatles songs. For the first time in days, my dad's hand twitched. A tiny smile touched his lips. The kid played for an hour. When he left, I tried to give him some money. "No," he said. "My grandpa was in this room last year. Someone played for him. I’m just paying back the debt." Kindness is the only currency that increases in value the more you spend it.
