John Krasinski says his mom talked him out of quitting three weeks before he booked The Office, so she gets 10% of everything
"I said to my mom, 'I'm going to move to New York and be an actor'"
"She said, 'The only thing I ask is that in three years, if you haven't had a bite or a nibble, you have to pull yourself out of this, because as your mother, you can't ask me to tell my son to give up on his dreams'"
"Two and a half years later, I called her and said, 'I did it. I gave it a shot, and I haven't had any nibbles.' She said, 'It's September. Let's talk about it at Christmas. Just finish the year.' Three weeks later, I booked The Office, so I owe my mom 10% of everything"
@aurumamare Women love to cope together but the truth is yall lonely as hell and it’s a red flag to men that you’re 35 beautiful and have no men interested in you means you’re not functional in a relationship 🤣
@niyeema38 The pro family pro child people always out themselves as not being okay with any family existing that doesn’t follow an extremely limited cookie cutter life script
REPORT: Trump’s “Freedom 250” July 4 is in utter chaos right now.
Severe weather rolled in tonight and NPS ordered a full evacuation. MAGA is absolutely furious.
National Guard troops were filmed flipping over picnic tables trying to clear the grounds. Some families gave up and went home furious. Others screamed at Secret Service service and other federal officials.
Trump told Fox he’s doing his speech no matter what, “whether it’s 10 PM, 11 PM, or even 2AM,” because “if they can storm the beaches on D-Day, I can deliver a speech.”
Except D-Day was delayed a full 24 hours because of bad weather. Eisenhower waited it out. Trump’s own comparison proves the exact opposite point he’s trying to make.
If you are in the area, remember to exercise extreme caution.
