Thanksgiving was good, tons of food, cooked for hours and my sis helped finish the meal. One thing I wish I could've negotiated -- fries and cheese to make poutine.

Maybe next year. Lol 😅 may have been too much anyway.

Transformative, means an actor can change their demeanor to adapt to a role -- instead of playing it the same all the time.

It has nothing to do with trans actors.

(To avoid confusion 😅😂)

Mark Wahlberg's comedy is some of the funniest.

Also an awesome action star; that's beyond inarguable 💯 plus, his more serious and often times transformative roles... never fail to amaze!

One of the best cures for racism; explain to a bigoted person why they're not racist, but in fact just ignorant.

As a society we used to take that approach more. Division tends to fuel a wider ideological gap, disparate groups are judgemental by nature. Xenophobia does not automatically = hate...🤔

“First, you write for yourself... always, to make sense of experience and the world around you. It’s one of the ways I stay sane. Our stories, our books, our films are how we cope with the random trauma-inducing chaos of life as it plays.”

I respect legacy media more than most people.

But my social interactions online are sort of like, Howard Stern meets an unruly, annoying troll.

And for that I apologize...

The Beacon of Democracy Goes Dark

For nearly 250 years, America promoted freedom and equality abroad, even when it failed to live up to those ideals itself. Not anymore.

I'm taking a break from Twitter for a few days.

PS: My opinion is the US Congress should vote to release the Epstein files and redact Trump's involvement as required. This would certainly improve public relations.

(It's really not a tall request 🤷.)

I think both Jasmine Crockett and Ted Cruz seem like kind-hearted Texans, mild mannered natures combined with admirable sensibilities.

But that's just my opinion -- as genuine as it may be. 💯🇨🇦🇺🇸

"The Elegance of ‘The Pink Panther’ and why it Deserves its Place in the National Film Registry"
welldonemovies.com/2025/10/14/1...

WD Movies, Reviews & Criticism @welldonemovies.bsky.social · 8h

The first Pink Panther is almost a 1960s sex romp film; probably why it didn't receive critical acclaim in its time.

It borders on smuttiness but errs towards hilarity -- and is relatively tame in modern standards.

(Panther... tame... aha see what I did there? 🤔 my puns are THE worst. 😂😭)

And to the Americans on here -- I do not plan to visit your country anytime in 2025 or 2026, as I don't even have a passport currently.

Vegas *has* been an interest of mine for some time (and NYC) but in all likelihood, I'm going to do a trip to France or Ireland first. 🙄👏💯

Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no
remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making
space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.
