War Criminal Henry Kissinger has finally died aged 100.
In his lifetime, he's been responsible for some of the worst atrocities in the History of the World.
Here is a thread: 🧵
Oh how I hope to be present the day he finds her in front of the gates of Paradise with her running to his arms again as she was ripped away from him in Palestine. To watch him open her eyes and kiss them and grieve for her as he calls her “the soul of my soul” after she was murdered by a tyrant with no soul. The people of Gaza are too good for this world.
Meet Adam Alghol. He was shot and killed today by Israeli army in Jenin - West Bank - #Palestine.
He was 9 years old.
He was 9 years old.
He was 9 years old.
He was 9 years old.
Israel has a long history of kidnapping, killing & torturing Palestinian children.
Don’t stop talking about our children 🇵🇸✌🏼
Netanyahu is responsible for the overthrow of Iraq and Libya
Iraq cost millions of American lives and trillions of dollars
Libya destroyed a stable country and was then used to bring refugees to Europe
No man has done more to harm the west and he openly brags about he controls American politicians and can pass laws
An unarmed 9 year old Palestinian child was shot by an Israeli sniper in the West Bank
Hamas does not operate in the West Bank and they had nothing to do with October 7th
This is one of the best videos to ever exist for entrepreneurs, creators... I think about it often.
In 2016, Pharrell Williams visited a NYU music production class to critique student songs.
At the beginning you could see student "Maggie Rogers" drenched with the absolute terror of sharing this with him.
Pharrell is there just trying to keep his excitement in.
The guy couldn’t wait to tell her this song is the bee’s knees.
After he listened to a song called “Alaska”, he explained why “I have zero, zero, zero notes for that:”
24 hours later, someone posted the clip to Reddit.
It blew up and the rest is history. Grammy nominated, millions of followers etc.
And Maggie responded to the Reddit thread (i'll share screenshot in the next tweet).
This story I find so cool because it inspires other artists to share what they got.
We all can all connect with the fear of showing our work. It ain't easy.
And to have a unique POV like Maggie. Easy to copy, harder to have something unique.
I’ve got a bunch of designs, creations that have never seen the light of day.
This video inspires me to publish more.
My point of sharing this video:
Publish your art anonymously.
Or publish your art proudly as yourself. Bonus points if it's one of a kind work.
But publish your darn art.
This is your new week's energy.
This is your 2024 energy.
Go get 'em.

JUST IN: The family of hockey player Adam Johnson who got slashed in the neck by a skate, is furious at Matt Petgrave for Johnson's death.
Kari Johnson, the aunt, called Petgrave's actions "reckless" and said she wants "justice" for what happened to her nephew.
"It was very reckless. I just want them [police] to get it right. We are looking for justice for Adam."
"You don't take your leg and kick somebody and cut their throat. I'm sorry. We were watching the game in real time and we did witness what happened. Horrific is the word to describe."
"My nephew was 6-feet tall, and whether you lost your balance or not, to have that leg come up that high and do a kicking motion like he did, that is just unacceptable. I think the actions were unnecessary. It was just unnecessary. Nobody touched him. I've watched that video hundreds of times."
"I'm sure Mr. Petgrave probably didn't even think about the consequences could be of that happening, but there comes a time when you have to realize, that's not hockey."
"He took our boy. There are a few of us in the family that think it was a totally unnecessary, very, very bad action to take."
Kari Johnson also spoke out about how Johnson's parents are coping with the incident.
"As far as his dad, my brother, he's just been a mess. Along with Adam's grandma and Adam's brother and myself."
"I would have to say his mother has probably been the strongest of us. But I don't know deep down inside if she's in shock or crying when she's alone. She's just been very strong."
Wow.
While Palestinians are morning the dead the Israelis take advantage of this opportunity to steal more property form them
This is not in the Hamas controlled Gaza Strip
I really don’t understand how so many of you excuse this behavior
NHL player Adam Johnson (29) died on live TV after Matt Petgrave slashed his throat with his skate
Petgrave has a history of bad behavior in the EIHL, including racking up the most penalty minutes (2022-2023 season) and getting booted out of games
The media quickly has declared it a total accident, but many viewers and expert hockey players are not convinced.
What do you think? (Slowed-down clip)
