To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

This week’s PEACEMAKER makes up for a lot of the lackluster Season 2. Some really strong characters choices. Cena has been excellent all season but now the show is at that level.

Hello Mr Pope: I gave you all the clues!

worm @rfksbrainworm.bsky.social · 6d

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Pope Leo XIV
Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal

Austin
I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says

Man, I *loved* FX's The Lowdown, from Reservation Dogs creator Sterlin Harjo, placing Ethan Hawke's exasperatingly charming reporter at the center of a mystery that's part Terriers, part Big Lebowski, all fun. My review:

'The Lowdown': Ethan Hawke Is a Mad Genius in This Gloriously Off-Kilter Noir

'The Lowdown' creator Sterlin Harjo brings out Ethan Hawke's best as a kooky reporter in this darkly funny noir with Seventies crime fiction vibes.

Culhane is amazing. Big win for the show, even if I’m a little stunned that the cast just got BIGGER than last year’s edition.

Rick Porter @rickporter.bsky.social · Sep 2

So I guess ‘SNL’ isn’t shrinking its cast: 5 new featured players for next season, including Ben Marshall of Please Don’t Destroy, after the 4 departures last week.

Please Don’t Destroy’s Ben Marshall Among Five ‘SNL’ Cast Additions

Kam Patterson, Jeremy Culhane, Veronika Slowikowska and Tommy Brennan will also join season 51 as featured players.
