[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

David Bowie had gone to a private showing of his 1987 movie Labyrinth. Afterward, he’d have a meet-and-greet with a group of children. He met them and had a ball, but one boy was shy and withdrawn.

So Bowie asked the organizers of the event if he could talk to the boy by himself, seeing as though he was “so shy."

The kid wasn’t actually shy — he was autistic. Bowie told the kid he was also scared, too, of everything. He was, in fact, only able to face other people because of a “magic mask” he would always wear. It just so happened the mask was ‘invisible.’

He gave it to the boy. He then acted rather distressed himself and had to make another magic mask, after which he became calm, too. Bowie and the kid just hung out for thirty minutes, and it was a magical experience.

The boy later said he actually felt more confident after meeting David Bowie and receiving his “magic mask."

Bowie reminded the boy of how ‘everyone is shy and scared sometimes, and we all wear masks’. Not every celebrity as famous as Bowie would take so much time and go through such effort to put an uncomfortable kid at ease at an event.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Liz Cheney during a commencement speech at Colorado College: “After the 2020 election and the attack of January 6th, my fellow Republicans wanted me to lie. They wanted me to say the 2020 election was stolen, the attack of January 6th wasn’t a big deal, and Donald Trump wasn’t dangerous.

I had to choose between lying and losing my position in House leadership.

No party, no nation, no people can defend and perpetuate a constitutional republic if they accept leaders who have gone to war with the rule of law, with the democratic process, with the peaceful transfer of power, with the Constitution itself.”

@Jim_Jordan Problem is some of you politicians don’t want ALL Americans voting. Shameful

ON STRIKE: The 'Nefarious' film crew has been striking for recognition of their new union for over a week. Now, they've been permanently replaced.

Workers in this country have a right to make their voices heard and form unions. No boss or politician can take that away.
