The restaurant scene in The Godfather is one of the best examples of Pacino acting almost entirely through his eyes. The train sound getting louder in the background while Pacino sits there thinking through the decision is such a perfect tension detail
They work *nearly* 140 days, and *only* have 225 days off to recover from the backbreaking coal miner work of a Congressman. And they scrap by without hitting 200k. Can we start a GoFundMe for these shoeless, chimney-sweeping Congressmen? #hardknocklife
Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.
‘Ricky’ launched over a year ago to great reviews and a directing prize at Sundance. It’s now being self-distributed after a lack of offers, explains star Sheryl Lee Ralph:
“That happens so often when it’s an independent film that has something to say about people who so often get marginalized…. It is bold to say, ‘You know what? If you’re not going to open up the door for me here, I think enough about the work that I have created to go out and say we’re going to do it ourselves. We’re four-walling this thing ourselves because we refuse for you not to see it.’”

In Oval Office, Zelensky offered US access to rapidly developing drone tech. Trump yelled at Zelensky 'you don't have any cards to play' and kicked him out. Ukraine went on to develop drones and is now selling them to our Mideast allies who no longer trust us to protect them.
‼️ ZELENSKYY: For the first time in the war, an enemy position was captured entirely by ground robotic systems and drones - without any infantry. A robot entered the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier and took the positions.
«The future is here, on the battlefield, and Ukraine is creating it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in this war's history, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned GRS platforms and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and this operation was completed without infantry involvement and without losses on our side. Ratel, Termite, Ardal, Lynx, Zmiy, Protector, Volya and other GRS completed over 22 000 missions at the front in just 3 months. In other words, over 22 000 times lives were saved. A robot went into the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier» - Zelenskyy’s address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex. April 13th, 2026.
I did the Paramount program. It helped launch my TV career! I’m doing a free strategy session on Saturday, on how to approach these applications (samples, essays, strategy). If you’re applying this cycle and need help, sign up: https://t.co/rF6OvheEUp #WritersWisdomWednesday
@elonmusk We are the nation that promises 'life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness' to all ppl willing to be good citizens. And then we gotta statue from France. 'Tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free.' Nothing about protecting English-Scot culture.
@elonmusk Kids are too expensive, the environment is too dangerous, and the future is too unstable w/ AI job losses. You and the ruling class could help, but instead make all the conditions worse for having kids while complaining about it to the medias you own.
@elonmusk US native population boomed after WW2. You know why? High taxes on the rich to build, strong unions that gave pensions, cheap housing, and affordable healthcare led to a booming middle class buying houses and having kids. These causes are all the things the GOP opposes.
@elonmusk You want more white ppl but support policies that make it harder for avg Americans to have kids. US white population has been declining for yrs. Bad healthcare and housing, high costs, high rates of cancer b/c of pollution. POC have nothing to do w/ GOP greed and selfishness.
This may TRIGGER/frustrate people who are stuck in their limited knowledge of the game but these plays are all perfectly executed LEGAL basketball plays under NBA/FIBA traveling rules (confirmed legal by NBA/FIBA officials before ever posted). Enjoy a few of my favorites!!
@SenFettermanPA so in exchange for food, you want working class ppl to lose their healthcare? And this is the good deal Dems should sign up for? You want all the workers at Wal-Mart and part-timers struggling to feed themselves to go bankrupt if they get sick? Gotcha.
