For NOTUS, Reese Gorman asked Rep. Andrew Clyde about Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's push to place a statue of Charlie Kirk in the Capitol. Clyde said it makes sense because "we have a statue of MLK in the Capitol"

I made the mistake of finding out what “Hasan vs Ethan” was all about.

Turns out, they’re both extremely annoying.

Can I be honest and admit that I don't know what a "part" is when it comes to pouring coffee? That's not a real measurement??

Anyways, I've had a few sips of my cold brew and I can already see tomorrow.

I'm irrationally excited for this and stand firm in my belief that this is the only franchise that should continue infinitely.

A reminder for this Transgender Day of Visibility:

Trans people have always existed, and we always will.

No president, politician, or court can change that.

Such wise words!

And yes—keep making art!

You’re quite welcome!

I feel the need to share this with the limited audience I have for no reason other than my staunch belief that art may be the thing that heals this world.

Also, Jacob Collier is a genius.

I was just telling a friend that the Obama era of the Democratic Party will have to be a thing of the past if we want any chance to fight this fascist regime. With newer voices like Kat, I believe we’ll be heading in the right direction.

Something Nick and I talked about is honesty. It’s very easy to hate a character like the Prince. It helps to play him with complete honesty and no judgment from the actor. The Prince has to totally believe everyone desires him, sprinkled in with me wanting to have fun on stage!

Thank you! It’s truly one of my favorite projects that I’ve ever done and glad people are able to enjoy it!!

One of the driving factors, the friend said, was his narcissistic need to be ogled.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities.

They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.
