HOLY COW I JUST FOUND OUT PART ONE OF THE FILM 'DE GAULLE' IS AVAILABLE TO RENT NOW ON AMAZON PRIME STREAMING!
The rest of my evening is claimed. Vive la France! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
@TrumpGirlLove That is NOT Admiral Stockdale. I think this is no mistake by these idiots. I think now they get more traffic by using the wrong pictures.
A pitch, if I may:
I help to publish a superb magazine with writer & editor David Samuels & a few gifted, hardworking others. County Highway. It takes the form of a 19th Century broadsheet newspaper. It is made of high-quality paper & real ink & delivered by US mail to readers' homes. Every word in it & every illustration is produced by human writers & artists -- the very best there are.
It is a contemporary journal. We break stories. We go deep on stories. We have no political agenda, but we do have a cultural agenda: To stir the American spirit in its depths, with wit, with honesty, with knowledge.
The paper is not a nostalgia act. Nor is it a captive of the moment. An issue from two years ago is as fresh as the latest issue. Our stories come from every corner of the country & they don't date or expire. They shine on.
Please subscribe. I suspect you will be pleasantly... astonished.

Did you know Ronald Reagan started the tradition of outgoing presidents leaving a personal letter in the Oval Office for their successors? Every president since has followed suit.
President Reagan wrote:
"Dear George
You’ll have moments when you want to use this particular stationery. Well, go to it.
George, I treasure the memories we share and wish you all the very best. You’ll be in my prayers. God bless you and Barbara. I’ll miss our Thursday lunches.
Ron"
On her final days in office as @MayorOfLA the disgraced @KarenBassLA races to hand as much taxpayer cash to her “homeless housing” developer pals as she can.
It is with crushing sadness I have to share my former therapist, Dr. Marsha Linehan, has passed away. To say she was a legend or an icon or a trailblazer are understatements. She changed psychology, and she saved me at a time when I was ravaged by crippling panic disorder that I feared would never pass.
Marsha was institutionalized as a young woman when she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and at the time it was considered an untreatable, psychological death sentence.
Before she set out as an academic, she was overcome by an almost supernatural force that allowed her to glimpse a path to her own healing through mindfulness and what has been termed ‘radical self acceptance’, and spent the rest of her life freeing others from the prison of mental illness.
She created a radical form of therapy called Dialectical Behavioral Therapy that was rooted in skills training and meditation, and it is now taught and embraced in every psychology program on the planet.
After several trips to the ER when I feared I was dying, I found my way to Marsha at the University of Washington where during our first session her first piece of advice was, “Don’t do anything that has already killed you.”
She gave me a choice: skills or pills. Pills would bring almost immediate relief from the panic attacks, skills would take a lot longer to learn and establish but they would last me a lifetime.
I chose the latter, and have not had a panic attack in 26 years. I use her skills almost every single day. From daily meditation to writing down and externalizing my fears, Marsha and her skills are with me whenever my path gets a little bumpy.
If your therapist, your child’s school or even your HR person recommends ‘mindfulness’, you have Marsha Linehan to thank for it.
Her work lives on through her incredible, transformational research and the countless DBT therapists who have been trained through her work.
What I wouldn’t give for another session with this brilliant, gifted woman whose dry humor and deep empathy truly saved me. She freed me from what I thought was a prison, but it was a stop on the journey that brought me right where I needed to be.
Thank you, Marsha. I will miss you forever, and I will savor every moment and memory of you. Rest well, and say hi to Gerry for me.
A legendary artist whose work will forever be part of Thoroughbred racing. ❤️🐎
