Before Hollywood, I was living in a van in Hawaii and waiting tables at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. One day, the incredible Rae Dawn Chong walked into the restaurant, and naturally, I went up to her table and said, “Hey, you’re a movie star! What are you doing here?”

She asked if I could act, and I said, “Fuck yeah, put me in your movie!”

She asked for my phone number. The only problem was I didn’t have one. So I gave her my buddy Mike’s number instead. A couple days later, Mike casually mentions, “Oh, by the way, someone called you.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MIKE?!

I called her back, and sure enough, she was serious. I drove over to pick up the script, went back to Mike’s house, and read all 120 pages three times in a row. First script I’d ever read. My character's name was Devon, and I remember thinking, “Sweet! I could totally play a Devon!”

I showed up to the audition with every line and inflection mapped out in pencil. Rae told me I could act and offered me the part. I asked if we were shooting in Hawaii. Nope. Los Angeles.

I had about $60 to my name, a bag of clothes, and some rollerblades.

Then Rae told me they'd fly me out. And I remember thinking right then and there, my life just changed forever. I'm going to be an actor.

That little movie was Cursed Part 3, a low-budget horror comedy that opened the door to Hollywood for me.

I'll forever be grateful to Rae for taking a chance on a kid working at a shrimp restaurant. Everybody starts somewhere, and this is where it all began for me.

Three bad harvests, input costs through the roof, SFI turned into a scramble, and bluetongue spreading. We’re still expected to produce cheap food and look after the landscape. Something has to give. Stand with farmers or watch more family businesses disappear.

He waited all day for her to come home from school. But he just couldn’t wait another second. 😂❄️

[ClarksonsFarm @ClarksonsFarm1]

Over 1,800 bluetongue cases and now vaccine and lab testing are under serious strain. Livestock farmers already dealing with drought, input costs and SFI uncertainty now have added another layer of risk.

Farmers, keep reporting. Keep sharing your story, the people are with you!🤝

She said my dog looked “dangerous.” She asked why a German Shepherd like this was even allowed on a plane.

Ma’am, let me introduce you to Duke. That “threatening” animal spent six years deployed with Marine Special Operations. He’s a certified Multi-Purpose Canine. While most people run away from danger, Duke runs toward it.

🐾 His resume:
Tracking high-value targets.

Detecting explosives before they turn into funerals.

Shot twice in the line of duty.

That scar on his shoulder? Shrapnel from an IED in Helmand Province. Despite being wounded and bleeding, Duke located four more devices in that same area to keep his team safe.

The limp you’re staring at? He took multiple rounds during an ambush to save his handler. Because of him, a 22-year-old Marine got to go home to his daughter.

Duke has a Navy Commendation Medal. He has a Purple Heart. He is credited with saving over 40 American lives.

And the most important stat? Zero bite incidents. The only thing Duke has ever snapped at were threats trying to harm our troops.

So no, I won’t be moving seats. But you are more than welcome to lean over and thank him for his service.

Nothing stops a mother's love. Not even thousands of stings! This mother elephant stood her ground and safely guided her baby away from a dangerous bee attack. A stunning, one-of-a-kind rescue story from the wild. Drop a 🐘 if you love elephants! ✨🐘

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

After nine years of saving lives, police dog Indy heard his name on the radio for the last time, and in the silence that followed, even the toughest officer broke down in tears.

You don't negotiate with someone who marches into another country, devastates it, killing whoever stands in his way. You get him out, you make him pay, and see that he is never in a position to do these things again.

Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele. Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them.
