“Morality binds and blinds. It binds us into ideological teams that fight each other as though the fate of the world depended on our side winning each battle. It blinds us to the fact that each team is composed of good people who have something important to say.” - @JonHaidt

Andddd he's gone! 🤣

Check out this article about @NatetheLawyer’s brain tumor! What a miracle to have recovered as he has so far. God is good.

PRAYER WORK!!

Praying for @NatetheLawyer on the @HallowApp right now

Have been speaking with @NatetheLawyer this morning and here’s an update he has given to us: “Hey just wanted to keep everyone updated. My wife will also be reaching out to keep you all in the loop. Right now, I’m waiting on another specialist because the tumor (about the size of a golf ball) is on one side of my head and tangled with some brain tissue. They need a specialist to separate it safely. The surgery is scheduled for Wednesday and is expected to take around 12 hours. After that, I’ll be in the hospital for about 3 days, followed by roughly 2 weeks of physical therapy/rehab. It’s a little risky because of where the tumor is, but we’re hopeful everything will go well. I’ll update you all after the surgery so you know I made it through.” The tumor is serious business and there could be more delays. This is good. We want them to get it right.

.@NatetheLawyer took this selfie and wanted me to be in it and post it. This is by far the strangest selfie I have been a part of. Nate is doing fine. Surgery is delayed but all is well for now.

@historigins Under no circumstances would I ever “sell” my children.

8. The story behind the infamous "4 Children for Sale" photograph in 1948 is heartbreaking. Lucille Chalifoux, the mother in the photo, was facing eviction from her apartment and, with no other options, made the difficult decision to sell her four children. The photo captured the attention of the public when it was published in the local newspaper. Offers of support and job opportunities poured in, but unfortunately, they were not enough to save the children from their challenging fate. The youngest child, David, was adopted by Harry and Luella McDaniel, who provided him with a stable and safe home. While his upbringing was strict, he eventually found stability and served in the military for 20 years before working as a truck driver. However, the older siblings, RaeAnn and Milton, had a much more harrowing experience. They were sold to a couple named John and Ruth Zoeteman, who treated them as property rather than children. They were chained up in a barn and subjected to physical and emotional abuse. RaeAnn, in particular, had a traumatic upbringing, including an incident of kidnapping, rape, and pregnancy in her teenage years. Despite their hardships, both RaeAnn and Milton were able to reconnect as adults. Unfortunately, their sister Lana passed away before they could reunite. Another sibling, Sue Ellen, was in the late stages of lung disease at the time of the reunion but could express her love for her siblings through written communication. Sue Ellen's words for the birth mother that sold them: "She needs to be in hell burning."

These are some of the most heartbreaking moments... A thread 🧵 1. Bruce Willis turned 70 this year, and due to memory loss, he no longer remembers that he was a famous and highly accomplished actor

Which actors or actresses do you refuse to see in a movie and why?

Last month, I shared that my wife was diagnosed with cancer. We caught it early, had an excellent medical team, and the surgery went well yesterday . Next up radiation. Thanks for all the support.

@SteaknShake Did you guys answer the question about whether your fries are pre-cooked in seed oils?

That is a FAST (and probably small, depending on the injuries) settlement offer. Imagine taking this deal and then realizing several months down the road that your injuries are actually worse than you thought they were. There's absolutely nothing wrong with telling a big corporation like this that you don't want to settle at this time.

Tbh, this text is super helpful to Justin Baldoni. If Isabella Ferrer sent this to JB on July 11, 2023 (as he alleges on pp. 46-47 of his FAC's Exhibit A), and is now being pulled in to be a witness to testify that JB harassed her on set, this text is going to be used on her cross-examination, and it's not going to be pretty for her, because this completely contradicts that kind of allegation. A person doesn't go out of their way to text someone that the other person "created such a comfortable, safe space for me to feel like I could fully step into this role." It's a text, so they're not in person, and she appears to be the one opening up the conversation to share heavy praise. So it doesn't seem like a situation that can be batted away by an explanation like, "she's just being overly agreeable to manage his aggression/personality." So, if she does in fact testify that he harassed her, I would expect her potential testimony to be completely discounted by a jury when they see this text.

I will say, it is very interesting that the first round of subpoenas Blake Lively's attorneys served (assuming they're announcing all of them to the public when they serve them) are to the Wayfarer Parties' phone companies for their location data and what not, and not Sony for any and all HR complaints made regarding Justin Baldoni/Jamey Heath's behavior during production. It doesn't mean they didn't do bad things, or that there weren't any complaints, and it doesn't mean BL isn't going to subpoena them at some point. But if they thought that was fertile ground for finding important information, I would think they'd go there earlier than later to make sure they have good ammunition for their case. This to me signals that they might see the harassment claim as weaker than their retaliation claim. I already suspected that, since retaliation is often easier to prove, but it's interesting to see that might actually be the case.

When you find out Blake Lively’s been name dropping you to everyone with everything she does, and now you’re facing possible deposition subpoenas

🎉🙏 Join us in praying for @frmikeschmitz as he celebrates his birthday today!

South Korea President Yoon says he’s “very sorry” for causing anxiety with his declaration of martial law.

Way too soon to know anything. Everyone is guessing, or cynically pandering. One of many unknowns is same-day turnout for Republicans. This is first election with massive early voting on GOP side. You therefore can't model prior same-day turnout in 2024. GO VOTE.

happy October the 24th to all who celebrate
