I painted this a few years ago for fun. I love Maggie Smith as Violet, the Dowager Countess of Grantham in Downton Abbey. I love her face and the expressiveness of her eyes. I'm sorry she is gone now. She was brilliant.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

While discussing my upcoming and his recent flu/covid vaccines to my 5 year old grandson, he said, "It's so you won't die in da winter!" And honestly, I can't think of a better slogan for vaccine marketing. 💉 #getvaccinated

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Mark Carney seemed to REALLY enjoy himself at the Kitchener Oktoberfest this afternoon, saying he was Vladdy Guerrero Jr. before he tapped the keg, then turning to the cameras for a quick chug of beer #cdnpoli

Muscle memory, spite, and caffeine. I need this on a T-shirt. Lol.
Busting a gut listening to this, it’s true, we Gen X were feral 😆 we were unsupervised, but knew to listen to our parents and be respectful, but do not think we are weak 😉

Oh and the floor thing, I try to get some flow going, like on a swing 🤭

Let's address one of the most common clapbacks I get from anti-vaxxers: "If you want a jab, just get one. What does that have to do with me?"

Let's begin. And let's use measles as an example....

Moderna's updated COVID booster for 2025 shows 8X increase in neutralizing antibodies against dominant circulating variant. Good expectation that those who get this boost will be well protected against symptomatic disease.

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was:
* successful at everything he tried
* genuinely intelligent & insightful
* desired by women
* envied by men
* an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with
* a tireless, lifelong philanthropist
... and he died peacefully in his sleep.

10/10 life. No notes.
