A few years ago I was driving from Ft Lauderdale to N Ft Myers to drop off 3 dogs with a rescue.
I got a flat on Alligator Alley - very remote, lots of trucks - as I started changing my tire, a car pulled over and 3 girls in their early 20s, came out of the car, walked to me and said they had no idea how to change a tire but they didn't want me to be myself on the road and stopped to keep me company. ๐ฅน๏ฟผ
They walked the dogs, I taught them the basics of tire changing and what was supposed to be a shitty moment turned out to be a great memory.
Last week one of them messaged me on Facebook to tell me she had changed her first tire by herself and said a little thank you to me.
Women supporting women is a beautiful thing.๏ฟผ
Kit is a 10-year-old dog who was once treated as nothing more than a "breeding machine" before being abandoned on the streets when she was no longer considered "useful." When she was rescued, she had lost almost all of her fur, her teeth were severely worn down, she was terrified, and she couldn't even walk on her own. ๐
But with unconditional love and gentle care, a miracle happened. Kit slowly regained her strength and now spends her golden years living the life every dog deservesโsurrounded by love, comfort, and happiness.
The most touching moment is seeing Kit's radiant smile every time she's gently petted. It's a genuine smile filled with pure joy, one that is powerful enough to bring tears to anyone who sees it ๐โจ
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"

The 13-year gap people are laughing at is almost exactly what Homer wrote.
Run the math from the source material. Girls in ancient Greece married between 14 and 16. Men married around 30. Penelope would have given birth to Telemachus at roughly 15 or 16. Odysseus sails for Troy while the boy is still an infant, fights for 10 years, then spends 10 more getting home.
When the Odyssey opens, Telemachus is 20 and Penelope is about 35. A 15-year gap. Nolan cast 13. Off by two years in an industry where the standard error is a full generation.
Angelina Jolie played Colin Farrell's mother in Alexander. She was one year older than him. Angela Lansbury played Laurence Harvey's mother in The Manchurian Candidate at a 3-year gap. Sally Field went from Tom Hanks's love interest in Punchline to his mother in Forrest Gump six years later, at 10 years his senior.
Against that baseline, 13 years lands closer to the text than anything Hollywood has attempted at this scale.
Penelope's age is also the engine of the entire plot. 108 suitors don't camp in your palace for years competing for a widow in her 60s. They're there because she's around 35, still young, still the route to the throne of Ithaca. Cast her visibly older and the story collapses.
Hathaway at 43 playing 35 is the only liberty here. By Hollywood math, that barely counts as one.
Can we just talk about how absolutely incredible Woodyโs character arc is throughout all three movies, seeing him go from how he was in Toy Story 1 to Toy Story 3 is like night and day. Had Woody not been humbled in the first movie, he wouldโve become like Stinky Pete and Lotso.
True story:
Last year I went to a Chilis bar and wanted to order the triple dipper. Bartender said they recently retired the chili queso and I say
"Woah, big blunder! Bad move! Chili queso was like the best thing on the menu!"
Bartender laughs and runs into the back.
Suddenly a manager and a woman in a business blazer comes out and the bartender says " you should hear what this guy said about the chili queso!"
And without skipping a beat I said "yeah she told me you guys got rid of the chili queso and my heart immediately broke! When I tried it for the first time I thought it was one of the best things I ever had with my chips. Super bummed!"
After they left the bartender told me that was one of the top executives at Chilis.
3 months later, I bring my friends to Chili's lamenting over the chili queso and telling them that story. And when we opened the menus my friend immediately pointed out Chili Queso was back on the menu.
NOW IM NOT SAYING I SAVED THE CHILI QUESO BUT I WILL SAY I MUST HAVE HELPED!
