Rest in peace, James Earl Jones. One of the most powerful, evocative, emotional voices in cinema history. This is the first scene that came to mind, it’s one of my favorites of all time.
The scenes from Southport are incredibly moving. Children, amongst a sea of flowers, blowing bubbles into the air to represent “kisses to heaven” in commemoration of Bebe, Alice and Elsie. A beautiful, poignant tribute, full of innocence and hope. What a wonderful community.
Happy Birthday to Emmett Till. He would've been 83 years old today.
At just 14, two white men kidnapped and brutally murdered him through mutilation for 'whistling' at a white woman.
decades later, Carolyn Bryant admitted to lying that Emmett Till made a pass at her.

Before the Tory Manifesto comes out tomorrow, a reminder of the 2019 Manifesto.
Promises: 42.
Delivered: 2, and 1 of those only partially.
In addition, Tories have reneged, reversed, or abandoned 362 policies pledges and promises.
Don’t. Believe. A. Word.
It's the year 2000 and you've not long been home from school. After sitting through an episode of Angela Anaconda, it hits 5pm and this plays on Cartoon Network. For the next 25 minutes you are transported to another planet where anything feels possible.
@TonyPattison26 @infamousTroll13 @Jonmann8@SkyNews Owners and bad breeders are to blame; the blame isn't strictly on the dog. Had these issues with pits, rotwillers, german shepards and others in the the past. Destroying the breed doesn't solve the problem.
@LAinNJ34 @BryanMillsFist @timecaptales @Morbidful What you said is a lot worse that what you're replying to. Chew on your words for a bit and have a think.
As Chandler and Monica are pronounced husband and wife in FRIENDS, the song being played by the string quartet is ‘Everlong’ by Foo Fighters.
Rest in Peace Matthew Perry
From Nadine Dorries's resignation letter to Rishi Sunak:
"You hold the office of prime minister unelected, without a single vote, not even from your own MPs"
“You have no mandate from the people, and the government is adrift"
"Why is it that we have had five Conservative Prime Ministers since 2010, with not one of the previous four having left office as the result of losing a general election?"
"Since you took office a year ago, the country is run by a zombie Parliament where nothing meaningful has happened. What exactly has been done or have you achieved?"
"Your actions have left some 200 or more of my MP colleagues to face an electoral tsunami and the loss of their livelihoods, because in your impatience to become prime minister you put your personal ambition above the stability of the country and our economy"
"You flashed your gleaming smile in your Prada shoes and Savile Row suit from behind a camera, but you just weren’t listening"
"London is now losing its appeal as more UK-based companies seek better listing opportunities in the U.S. That, Prime Minister, is entirely down to you"
"It is a modus operandi established by your allies which has targeted Boris Johnson, transferred to Liz Truss and now moved on to me. But I have not been a Prime Minister. I do not have security or protection. Attacks from people, led by you, declared open season on myself and the past weeks have resulted in the police having to visit my home and contact me on a number of occasions due to threats to my person"
"You have no mandate from the people and the Government is adrift. You have squandered the goodwill of the nation, for what?"
"Levelling up has been discarded and with it, those deprived communities it sought to serve. Social care, ready to be launched, abandoned along with the hope of all of those who care for the elderly and the vulnerable. The Online Safety Bill has been watered down. BBC funding reform, the clock run down. The Mental Health Act, timed out. Defence spending, reduced. Our commitment to net zero, animal welfare and the green issues so relevant to the planet and voters under 40, squandered. As Lord Goldsmith wrote in his own resignation letter, because you simply do not care about the environment or the natural world. What exactly is it you do stand for?"
"Disregarding your own chancellor, last week you took credit for reducing inflation, citing your ‘plan’. There has been no budget, no new fiscal measures, no debate, there is no plan. Such statements take the British public for fools"
Massive thanks to everyone who voted for Cats Does Countdown at the Comedy Awards. That one is for Sean, without whom the show would have had a fraction of the comedy it had and much more maths.
Give me strength! If stabbing of 16yr old transgender girl is ‘targeted attack’ do you need the murderer to draw you a roadmap for evidence it was a bloody hate crime?? The police is close-minded.That’s the problem
A trans girl was STABBED to death! Her gender is ALWAYS relevant
