This is an industry that built LA and supports thousands of working families. At what point do we recognize we're being outcompeted and start doing what it takes to keep these jobs here?

.@danawhite says one of the keys to longevity is to block out all negativity:

“There's this Bruce Lee quote where he says, ‘Never say negative things about yourself or what you're working on even if you're joking, because your body doesn't know the difference.’”

“I never take in any negativity.”

“It never even crosses my mind that something's not going to work. I just keep going until it does work.”

A los 30 años, borracho y sin trabajo, me senté en el borde de la cama y pensé: "Anthony, no puedes seguir así".
Había llegado a Londres desde Gales con un sueño: ser actor. Pero el sueño se convirtió en pesadilla. El alcohol me controlaba. Perdía papeles, mi mujer me dejó, mis amigos me abandonaron. Pasaba los días en bares oscuros y las noches en camerinos vacíos.
Una noche, en 1967, entré en una reunión de Alcohólicos Anónimos. Tenía miedo. No del alcohol, sino de mí mismo. De la debilidad que sentía al pedir ayuda.
No bebí un solo trago en 57 años.
Después llegó la sobriedad. Y con ella, el trabajo. "El hombre elefante", "Los restos del día", "El Silencio de los Corderos... un Oscar y muchos premios. Una carrera que todavía hoy continúa.
Pero la fama no curó las heridas. Tuve que aprender a vivir conmigo mismo a aceptar mi pasado y a perdonarme.
Hace unos años, durante la pandemia, grabé un video que se hizo viral. Hablaba de no rendirse. Hablaba de la vejez, de la soledad, del valor de seguir adelante. No lo hice por fama. Lo hice porque aquel chico de 30 años necesitaba oír esas palabras.
Si hoy te sientes perdido, si el alcohol o cualquier otra droga te está destruyendo, pide ayuda. Yo lo hice. Y aquí estoy, medio siglo después, sobrio y contándotelo.
No hay vergüenza en caer. La hay en no levantarse.

If you call Film LA, the very first option is to report a production you think should be shut down for not having a permit.

The third option is to try and get a permit. If you don't get your application in my 10am a week before the shoot, they will not process your application. Not 10:05, not 12pm. Must be in by 10am. When you speak to the person at Film LA, they truly sound like they don't even want you to shoot there.

I hope whoever our next mayor is shuts down Film LA and makes it free and easy to get a permit.

LA has the best crews, the best casts, the best weather. It shouldn't be cheaper and easier to fly to Oklahoma and shoot there than it is to shoot at home. It's time to bring filmmaking back to LA.

Mohamed Aziz is a Moroccan bookseller in Rabat, born in 1948.
He has been selling books for decades and is known as one of the oldest booksellers still working in the city.
Aziz spends about 6 to 8 hours every day reading, and over the years he has read more than 4,000 books in several languages, including Arabic and French, and some English.

When people ask him why the books displayed outside his shop are never stolen, he simply says:
“Those who can’t read don’t steal books, and those who can read are not thieves.”

Left side is a human lung. Right side is a tree.

The tree breathes in what the lung breathes out. The lung breathes in what the tree breathes out.

God's design is incredible.

@SNYtv The reason the Mets collapsed last year was their starting pitching failed and Stearns put that staff together.

"Ever wonder why... the school systems don't teach any real life skills anymore?"

"Because the moment a man becomes self-reliant, the system loses control."

"They don't want you to know how to survive without them. They want you dependent. They want you obedient. They want you to be reliant on the government. And so they teach kids how to comply, not how to think."

"Self-reliance is dangerous to the people who crave power, because once you can feed yourself, once you can defend yourself, once you can think for yourself, they can't control you anymore."

"That's why they vilify independence, because the system doesn't fear rebellion—it fears men who no longer need it."

"The strongest rebellion left in the world is a man who refuses to depend on a system that's trying to enslave him." 🎯

Hollywood’s in real trouble.

Productions are leaving at an historic pace, and real people are paying the price—florists, cooks, production crews.

Families depend on this work.

We need to bring these jobs back by incentivizing production in Los Angeles and making this the best place to film again.

“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, November 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped, and summer was gone.”
