@ChombaBupe P.S. Thanks for the excellent thread.

@ChombaBupe What is their thought process that led to this conclusion, what scenario do they think is plausible. Otherwise, stop scaring us. Do they know how hard it would be to kill *every* person on Earth? Yes, CNN etc. need to ask them to explain! 2/2

The time has finally come: 'Coyote vs. Acme' is now playing in theaters.

To celebrate the film’s official release day, director Dave Green shared a thank-you letter on social media, writing in part:

“COYOTE VS. ACME IS FINALLY, GLORIOUSLY, IN THEATERS NOW. Which means one thing. WE WON." https://t.co/HUUu9oPQY6

@gtconway3d I feel like I’ve just been dropped in from another planet and no longer understand anything about the United States of America.

Why is this country collectively acting like this is all “ok” and “normal” and “nothing to see here.”

There's something I do to get out of depression. I walk about 80 city blocks. That gives me a real high.

Must-read.

[The Hollywood Reporter @THR]

James Gunn talks about the ups and downs of #CoyotevsAcme and how Dave Green handled it all:
"He was never overly bitter and negative, although a little bit of bitterness and negativity was understandable in the given circumstances. However...when people show true character in the face of adversity, the world rises up to meet them. And in this case, it did — 'Coyote vs. Acme' being saved is because of Dave’s character and because he made a great movie too powerful to be buried.”

I was an alcoholic and abused pills while suffering from depression and anxiety for 25 years.

It nearly killed me. I’ve been sober for exactly 4 years today.

Here are 10 personal observations about getting fully sober (1/12) 🧵

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

This was me 4 years ago. I was in ICU in hospital as I’d just nearly drunk myself to death.

I’d been an alcoholic and suffered depression and anxiety for over 25 years.

I’m completely sober now and wanted to share some learnings that may help someone (1/8) 🧵

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

Watching the end of Andor, then Rogue One, then A New Hope rocks, because the plot and the aesthetic are basically seamless, but everyone in the galaxy gets way stupider over the course of maybe a week

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

At this time exactly 5 years ago I was taken to ICU after I nearly drank myself to death. I was there for 3 days. I was utterly broken after 25 years of addiction, depression and anxiety.

Today I help street dogs and have been sober since. My message to you today is that there is always hope. There is always a second chance. You can do this. ❤️

“Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her.”

A couple weeks ago I shared this wonderful quote from the developmental psychologist Uri Bronfenbrenner. And it’s true.

Every child needs at least one.

But how lucky are those who can count a whole collection of adults who feel the same way?

One of my favorite things on social media recently has been a series of videos shared to IG by gwynyth depicting not only her own interactions with her newborn son, but those of her father (aka Papa Brian).

Brian’s joyful rendition of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes is illustrative of the loving bond they share. Check out that eye contact. Those looks of sheer delight.

Frequently we discuss attachment and early relational health in terms of a parent (often a mother) and child. And while this relationship is indeed critical, the luckiest children have webs of secure, trusting relationships with multiple beloved caregivers.

We can each play a role in supporting the optimal development of the young children in our lives by engaging with love, care, and our full attention.

In a world where you can be anything, be like Papa Brian!
