In June 1942, the Nazis transported Pavel Fantl, his mother, wife, & son to the Theresienstadt ghetto

Fantl created over 80 works of art in Theresienstadt, including this satirical portrait of a defeated, clownish Hitler

For those who don't know:

The AVERAGE cost of a nursing home in America has now hit $10,000 per MONTH.

Medicare doesn't pay and unless you're destitute and have not spent a dime over "basic expenses" for the past 5 years, you won't get Medicaid.

This is a crisis.

[Jeremy @jeremyct]

My rent went up $300 a month.

I told people I couldn’t afford it. They said just move.

So I looked up what moving actually costs.

First month’s rent. Security deposit. Application fee. Credit check fee. Moving truck. Utility deposits. Time off work to do all of it.

That’s $4,000 minimum just to escape a rent increase.

The solution to not having money is apparently having money.

Poverty isn’t a mindset problem.

It’s a locked door that charges you to find the key.

Sir Anthony Hopkins, Breaking Bad'i izledikten sonra başroldeki Bryan Cranston'a hayranlıkla bu satırları yazmıştı:

🔹 “Diziyi iki haftalık bir maratonla bitirdim.”

🔹 “İlk bölümden son sezona kadar izledim.”

🔹 “Hayatımda böyle bir şey izlemedim.”

🔹 “Mükemmel.”

🔹 “Walter White performansın, hayatımda gördüğüm en iyi oyunculuktu.”

🔹 “Bu sektörde çok fazla abartılı övgü var.”

🔹 “Ben böyle şeylere artık pek inanmıyorum.”

🔹 “Ama senin bu işin olağanüstü.”

🔹 “Gerçekten nefes kesici.”

🔹 “Bütün prodüksiyonun gücü inanılmazdı.”

🔹 “Beş ya da altı yıl boyunca bu disiplini korumak olağanüstü.”

🔹 “Yapımcılar, yazarlar, yönetmenler, görüntü yönetmenleri...”

🔹 “Her departman baştan sona kontrolü hiç kaybetmedi.”

🔹 “Siyah komedi gibi başlayan şey kan, yıkım ve cehenneme dönüştü.”

🔹 “Büyük bir Shakespeare ya da Yunan tragedyası gibiydi.”

🔹 “Anna Gunn’dan Aaron Paul’a, Bob Odenkirk’ten Jonathan Banks’e...”

🔹 “Herkes oyunculuk dersi verdi.”

🔹 “Bu tür bir iş ve sanat çok nadir görülür.”

🔹 “Bazen böyle bir şey olunca insanın inancı geri geliyor.”

🔹 “Sen ve bütün ekip, gördüğüm en iyi oyuncularsınız.”

🔹 “Bunu bir abartı gibi duyabilirsin.”

🔹 “Ama değil.”

🔹 “Malibu’da gece yarısına yaklaşıyor.”

🔹 “Ve bu mektubu yazmak zorunda hissettim.”

🔹 “Tebrik ederim.”

🔹 “En derin saygılarımla.”

🔹 “Gerçekten büyük, çok büyük bir oyuncusun.”

Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of "natural stupidity"

“We are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty,”

My aunt is 69 and still working.

Not because she wants to.

Because her Social Security check is $1,100 a month.

Her rent is $1,400.

She worked 40 years and paid in every single check.

$1,100 is what the safety net looks like up close.

1/ Last month I told a room of Baltic intelligence officers and diplomats that Donald Trump is an asset of Russian intelligence. Not one of them blinked. "Of course," they said. Ho hum. But in America, saying it out loud is still taboo. Why? 🧵

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

Honestly, i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.

daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.

college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and puts students into debt for life and yet we have thousands of professors living in their cars.

everything we need is astronomically expensive and yet almost none of the money we pay is going towards the people actually doing the work and providing the services.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

This is outrageous and unacceptable. Speaker Johnson makes clear that the GOP is planning to gut Medicaid and Social Security — programs millions of Americans depend on.

73 million seniors, disabled Americans & families are watching. We must stand up for them. This is a fight to protect the benefits seniors have earned through a lifetime of hard work.
