Halle Berry says Pierce Brosnan “restored” her faith in men during the making of their James Bond movie.
“He will always be my Bond, always. I’m a Pierce Brosnan fan. There couldn’t be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce Brosnan.”
All blue-eyed people on Earth descend from a single common ancestor.
One person had a mutation 6,000–10,000 years ago that switched off melanin production in the iris, creating blue eyes for the first time. That trait spread because it was considered attractive.
Green eyes are even rarer, while brown was the original human eye color.
A 2008 University of Copenhagen study confirmed that nearly all blue-eyed people share the exact same mutation in the HERC2 gene — strong evidence of a single founder.
One tiny genetic change in one individual thousands of years ago created a visible trait now carried by hundreds of millions of people today.
On June 13, 1777, a 19-year-old French teenager landed on a beach in South Carolina, uninvited, to fight in someone else's war. He would become one of the most important men in American history.
The Marquis de Lafayette was one of the richest young aristocrats in France. He had a beautiful wife, a fortune, and zero reason to risk any of it. But he believed in the American cause so fiercely that when the French king forbade him from going, Lafayette bought his own ship and sailed anyway. He literally went AWOL from a life of luxury to bleed for a country that didn't exist yet.
Congress was annoyed at first. Another foreign officer looking for a paycheck? Then Lafayette offered to serve for free and pay his own way. That got their attention.
He met Washington and the two formed one of the great father-son bonds in American history. Washington had no biological children. Lafayette named his only son George Washington Lafayette.
He took a bullet in the leg at Brandywine and kept rallying the retreat. He was instrumental at Yorktown, the battle that won the war. He went home a hero on two continents.
A foreign teenager believed in America before America did. 249 years ago today.
I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.
@ElonMuskAOC Give a million dollars to the Americans who are struggling every day. These are the people who love our country unconditionally. Forget about the charities, the fraud and abuse are rampant. The system is/was broken, give to people who need n appreciate it most. Not socialists🤷🏼
@dina_poli It becomes easier, but a dull, persistent physical pain of emotional yearning never truly subsides. They will always be with you, which is a positive aspect.
