“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney

Imagine spending your whole life becoming an academic expert. Then a random guy online tells you that you are wrong about your own field. And he's right. But you can never admit that. Because it would mean admitting that your life was a lie. That is the dilemma of many academics.

HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.

This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.

21 years ago, I sat in a prison cell and learned I was pregnant.

Every sign pointed toward abortion. Every circumstance said this baby would never have a chance.

But I chose life.

I saw value in my daughter before anyone else could.

What I didn’t know was that her birth would help change laws in America. Fifteen years after I gave birth while chained to a hospital bed with a sheriff standing watch, that story reached the highest levels of government. And @POTUS granted me a full and unconditional pardon and signed legislation ending the shackling of women during childbirth in federal prisons.

Today, that same baby walked across the stage as a graduate of MIT.

From a prison birth to one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

Never let your circumstances determine someone’s worth.

There is value in life.

There is purpose in every child.

Go, baby. The world is yours. ❤️🎓

A great way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

The Story Behind the One-Take Masterpiece 📺
Did you know one of the most iconic commercials in TV history happened completely by accident?
In 1973, an advertising crew went down to a pier to shoot an ad for Oscar Mayer. They needed a kid, and 4-year-old Andy Lambros volunteered. With a fishing rod in one hand and a bologna sandwich in the other, he started singing.
He didn't just get through it—he absolutely nailed the entire song in one single take.
When Jerry Ringlien (the VP of Marketing) saw the raw footage the next day, he stopped everything and said, "That is the commercial."
They loved Andy's charm so much that they even kept the very end of the raw footage in the final cut—the unscripted moment where he looks at the crew, asks "How's that?", and takes a massive bite of his sandwich.
The Impact:
•It skyrocketed Oscar Mayer sales and cemented the jingle in pop-culture history.
•It put the legendary ad agency J. Walter Thompson "on the map" as an industry titan.
•It launched Andy's career, leading him to star in over 20 more major commercials.
Today, Andy is an accomplished artist, graphic designer, and computer programmer. But it all started on a pier with a sandwich.
