Those backup singer ladies were appalled when Isaac Hayes said Shaft was a bad mother, but I would believe it. I don't think he even talks to his children once in the movie, even before his big confrontation with the evil mafiosi. It's not even clear if he IS a mother.

A black cat crossing your path is simply going where it wants to go. You should do the same, and follow your own path.
Photo by Esra Erdoğdu - A black cat strides across a quiet, narrow street in an old urban district, its silhouette contrasting against the worn pavement. Two men in dark coats walk in the background, their expressions neutral as they navigate the aged alley lined with shuttered storefronts and weathered buildings. The monochrome tones amplify the textures of the cracked walls, scattered wires, and uneven cobblestones, evoking a timeless, almost cinematic atmosphere.

Why do people who claim to remember their past lives always seem to be reincarnations of Helen of Troy or an accused Salem witch or someone heroic on the Titanic, and never a random cabbage-selling wench from the 1500s who died in her sleep at the ripe auld age of 39 and never learned to read

The Dutch anatomist Frederik Ruysch, known as the "The Artist of Death", met his own death #onthisday in 1731. Why the nickname? This engraving of one of his remarkable "still life" displays gives a clue. More in Luuc Koojimans' essay: buff.ly/37Mpzvu

This letter is exquisite. No notes
'The world's richest nation has always been penniless The United States does not mint pennies. Pennies are minted by countries that once belonged to the British Commonwealth. The United States mints cents. The erroneous term "penny' was used throughout the Feb. 13 Econo- my & Business article "What would happen if the U.S. stops making pennies, except for a quote of the U.S.Code - which mentioned "one-cent coins." During the Colonial period, Americans handled pennies because the 13 colonies belonged to the British crown. After the United States became independent and began to mint its own coins in 1792, Americans unfortunately continued to refer to the cent as a penny. So, for the past 233 years, we have not changed. Old habits are hard to break! Joseph Scafetta Jr., Falls Church

I have a #FridayFinish - keep strong 🇨🇦

My mum didn't get it, but that's ok. My #Art, and it's going to be a daily reminder to stay strong.

Photo of an original cross stitch design in a hoop. The fabric is a 28 count warm milk mocha colour. The top half of the design features an orange shark chasing a pool of random red and white fish, with the words underneath "DO NOT PANIC" The lower half of the design depicts the orange shark fleeing from the organized red and white fish that have come together in the shape of a larger fish. Moreover, the organized shape is in the colours of the Canadian Flag, with a sparkly red beaded fish in the centre of the white field where the Canadian Maple leaf usually is. At the base is the large stitched word "ORGANIZE". It's a reminder that as individuals sometimes tyranny seems insurmountable, but when we band together, we are strong and will defeat the orange menace.

I also went to see The Play That Goes Wrong (for the first time, despite loving Mischief Theatre). An enormous pile of fun. The genius staging, the timing of the leads, the detail, the sense that that’s all of us on that stage, full of illusions about our ability, but doing our best. Genius.
