It took 6 years for a group of 10 artists to create over 40,000 oil paintings for the Heroic Times (1983) creating a unique animation style.

15 things to do with your father while he is still alive. I lost mine 8 years ago.

1. Ask him what he was like at your age because once he was the same age you are right now & Watch his face light up as he tells you stories from when he was younger

2. Record his laugh when he tells one of his signature jokes. Someday you will replay the video over and over just to hear it again

3. Ask him about the proudest moment of his life. (Odds are he will say when you were born)

4. Ask him his favourite songs
Listen to them together, laugh, sing and be happy. These will become your most cherished memories in years to come

5. Take a picture of him doing something he loves. Watching tv, gardening, playing the guitar, anything. When you look back these will be the pictures that will make you smile the most

6. Tell him you love him even if it's something you don't normally do.

7. Tell him you are proud to be his son/daughter This will mean more to him than you realise (even if he doesn't show it)

8. Listen to music from his youth and watch him turn from dad into a young man again

9. Take a short video of him talking about something random sacred Someday even the ordinary things he said become

10. Bring up something you are thankful for from years ago

11. Ask him what it was like for him growing up

12. Call him for no reason
Don't take being able to do this for granted.
Someday you would give anything to hear his voice again.

13. Take a picture of just the 2 of you together

14. Ask him to show you an old photo of him because seeing him young will remind you that he wasn't always Dad

15. Tell him something you are struggling with, no matter what age you are Because even when your grown it means the world to him to feel like he can still help

Let him give you advice, even if you don't need it because one day you will give anything to hear his voice guiding you again

@DisgracedProp @Lorlordylor The exposure to nyc commies was absolutely part of the bank's problem. But the crypto exposure was the catalyst, this happened around the same time as Silicon Valley bank went down. But your point stands imo. These people have had some impact already.

@AMK_Mapping_ @Suriyakmaps is unparalleled in the degree of accuracy, timeliness, neutrality and integrity. Many people are saying this.

As this tweet perfectly captures, the elite immigrant resentment story is just a retelling of this graph from the college admissions fights.

A good tech visa worker arrives in America at the 85-90th income percentile - an incredible starting position and a huge leap forward, but one that locates them in the pit of relative social privilege.

They're high-earning but nothing else. Their perspective is dominated by the cliff of status that separates the upper-middle class from the truly elite and well-connected, who float above the filtering mechanisms that apply to everyone else. The 90th percentile American is seething with resentment at the undeserving rich.

But, because it's their salient identity, elite immigrants incorrectly view the privilege as one of "immigrant vs non-immigrant" - it's "Americans" who are privileged and well-connected, because this is what they see in the rich people they are most directly in social competition with.

This resentment fuels policies of diversity and redistribution, but these end up harming average Americans instead of the elite - because more immigrant workers or visa students are never going to displace the children of the 1%, while middle-class Americans can always be sacrificed without political opposition.

Liz Cheney for Tulsi Gabbard remains the most elite trade the Republican Party has ever done.
