@BethP9999 @netflix On Netflix????

@1LabGirl @netflix I LOVED the book, and the movie is such a heartwarming adaptation. Sally is soooo good and has boundless energy for someone who is 79. You should watch and LMK how you like it. I'm usually very critical of movies made from books. But, not this one.

If you have read the book "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt (or even if you haven't) , then the movie adaptation of it is a must-see. Watch on @netflix. Stars the amazing #SallyField and #LewisPullman (looks like his dad!).

The BEST news!!!

@BethP9999 Happy Teacher Appreciation Week, to you! Thanks to so many of mine: Mrs.Stade, Mrs. Leakey, Mr. Kleefisch, Ms.Watters, Dr. Vaughn, Dr. Brown, Sid Smith… much appreciation and gratitude!

Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek to teachers everywhere. While your friends and family are enjoying downtime, you are often home creating meaningful lessons tailored to students' needs, grading papers, collecting data, and corresponding with parents. A huge thank you!

@TrevDon I detest those awful bags. I’m sure steam escapes from my ears after about 5 minutes of trying to open them!

it's true 😂

Hmmmm 🤨 Kimmel has opinions …

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired. The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass. A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed. Everything else was improvised. I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76. What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation. I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one. She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure. The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet. The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent. That's priority. The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago. A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced. That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details. I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column. I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously. 188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken. A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

@TrevDon This cat. I had a Maine Coon named Chester for 20 years and he was a sweetie!

If you had to pick, just one... 🤔

I could not stand Joe Biden. Truly the worst president of my lifetime. That said, if an assassination attempt had ever been made on him, I would have been sickened. These DERANGED leftists making jokes about the shooting tonight at the WHCD, are vile, disgusting animals.
