Tom Steyer: “We should abolish ICE, it’s a criminal organization. We should be prosecuting ICE agents for racial profiling, for committing violence against Californians. We should go up the chain to whoever is sending them. If it goes to Stephen Miller, that’s the way it goes”

@ThoNg676733 …..and should have heard her when she played w Van Morrison

She is so good on that Sax 🎷

@NUCLRGOLF Like so much else in life, it depends on the length

⛳️🏌️ Do you think taking gimmies has a negative effect on a golfers putting?

@mjfree Miller or Cheung’s doings. Trump is too far gone

The President of the United States just posted a stylized image of people being blown apart with “Adios” stamped on top like it’s some badass movie poster. War is not entertainment. Death is not branding. And glorifying violence like this in front of millions of kids is fucking demented! And didn't he just announce a peace deal? ❤️ if you agree that THIS MUST STOP!!!

@MollyJongFast @joncoopertweets Really a guy w a heart full of soul…where and when did this guy fall off the tracks ?

Andreessen Horowitz has already donated 115.5 million to republicans this election cycle.

@JohnSheaHey Pretty sure we called that Pepper

A major reason Giants 2B Luis Arraez greatly improved his defense and ranks third in majors in outs above average is his daily work with Ron Washington. Forehand, backhand, different hops, angles, spins, standing, kneeling, out of Wash’s hand, off Wash’s bat. All paying off.

@rocknrollofall Procol Harum

What band do you think never got the recognition they deserved?

@sassinine @PopularLiberal Go f yourself

@PopularLiberal Literally all I could think about looking at his ugly mug.

BOOM! SAY IT LOUDER: Gary Chambers Jr. just dragged Louisiana Republicans — while Speaker Mike Johnson wears holes in his kneepads for Dear Leader. Louisiana ranks dead last in economy and crime, 46th in education, 48th in infrastructure, 49th in environment, 46th in opportunity, with 18.9% poverty — worst in America. But they're stripping power from a Black-majority New Orleans instead of fixing any of it. This isn't reform. It's racist reconstructionism. Gary said it plainly: "You lost every constitutional amendment you proposed, even in your own districts." They don't ask the people because they know they'd lose. No choice. No vote. No voice.

@NgocThach74 This is a tremendous Drummer.

The sound engineers did an excellent job blending all the instruments and vocals perfectly. This is a great example of an artist adapting to their age. Robert's vocals are fantastic.

@elevamiami He may have have conferred w his fellow Spaniard,, Maistre Picasso, and learned the trick…

Salvador Dalí adorava jantar bem. Grupos grandes. Mesas longas. Vinhos caros. Os melhores restaurantes de Paris e Nova York. E sempre insistia em pagar a conta. Ninguém desconfiava. Na hora de fechar, ele preenchia o cheque com o valor total, com calma e elegância. Assinava. E então, antes de entregar ao garçom, virava o papel e rabiscava um desenho no verso. Um esboço rápido. Elefantes. Cavalos. Figuras surreais. Assinava embaixo. E entregava o cheque ao estabelecimento. Dalí sabia exatamente o que aconteceria a seguir. O dono do restaurante não descontaria o cheque. Colocaria numa moldura. Exibiria na parede do melhor ponto do salão. Um Dalí original, emoldurado, no restaurante. Valia infinitamente mais do que qualquer refeição. Os cheques com seus desenhos foram todos guardados. E hoje valem uma fortuna. Há relatos de que a prática aconteceu diversas vezes ao longo dos anos, em Paris e em Nova York. Em uma das noites documentadas, no Café de la Rotonde em Paris, Dalí pediu ao garçom uma folha de papel, esboçou um elefante de tromba erguida, assinou embaixo e entregou com desenvoltura. A conta estava paga. E o estabelecimento havia lucrado com o negócio. O que Dalí fez não era só excentricidade. Era uma compreensão precisa de que o valor da sua presença e da sua assinatura já haviam superado o preço de qualquer cardápio. Ele não precisava de dinheiro para pagar. Precisava apenas de um pedaço de papel e de saber o quanto valia. Fontes: ISTOÉ — ArteRef — Revista Bula — Top Melhores

@DeepakA76574011 @JamesLucasIT Jesus as a 40 or 50 year old ????? Wow. Basic information is getting further and further lost w idiotic statements like that. Stick to Gautama

@JamesLucasIT I thnk he carved it initialy of jesus love int bt finally named it as jesus mother might b due to some external church pressure and v r still trying 2 decode y she was carved so young and jesus as a 40 or 50 yr old or it can be justified as symbolising mothers lap fr their child

Why does Mary look younger than Jesus in Michelangelo's Pietà? The answer is one of the most beautiful in art history... Mary is holding the body of her 33 year old son, but she looks 20. Critics noticed it the moment the sculpture was unveiled in 1499. The mother of a man who has just been crucified would have been in her late forties or early fifties. Michelangelo had carved her as a girl. His own biographer, Ascanio Condivi, was the one who finally asked him why. The answer Michelangelo gave is preserved in Condivi's Life of Michelangelo and has been repeated for centuries: "Do you not know that chaste women stay fresh much more than those who are not chaste? How much more in the case of the Virgin, who had never experienced the least lascivious desire that might change her body?" Most modern critics treat this answer as a half-serious deflection. Michelangelo was famous for his sharp tongue and refused to explain himself to people he considered beneath his intellect. The deeper answer is older, and it lies inside one of the greatest poems ever written. In the final canto of Dante's Paradiso, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux begins his prayer to the Virgin with one of the most extraordinary lines in Italian literature: "Vergine madre, figlia del tuo figlio." "Virgin mother, daughter of your own son." Michelangelo, who knew Dante by heart, was carving that line into stone. Mary is younger than Jesus because Jesus is older than the universe... because she gave birth to her own creator. But there is another reading, simpler than either of those, and it is the one I find myself thinking of today. Every mother who has held her child has held them at every age at once. The infant is still inside the toddler. The toddler is still inside the teenager. The young man on her lap, even dead, is also the boy she nursed and the baby she first carried home. And maybe that's why Michelangelo did not carve Mary as the years had aged her. He carved her as love had kept her: outside of time, outside of grief, holding her son the way she had always held him... Happy Mother's Day. -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.

@newstart_2024 Shake Shack refuses to cook their hamburgers rare. So infuriating Does Ramsay?

Gordon Ramsay on what it really takes to run a successful restaurant: That $25 cheeseburger isn’t a rip-off. It’s a thick, high-quality patty (chuck + short rib blend), a proper brioche bun, and premium toppings. But the real killers behind high prices? Brutal rent and labor costs. Landlords raise the rent when you succeed… and still demand it when you struggle. Ramsay’s best tell for a truly great restaurant: It’s packed on a Monday night. Weekends fill themselves. Surviving (and thriving) on slow nights is what separates the winners. Restaurant prices look insane until you see the brutal economics of keeping the doors open every single day. I’ve always liked Ramsay’s no-nonsense style, and this is a perfect example — a busy restaurant on a quiet weekday is often one of the best signs of real quality. What do you think — is a packed Monday night the ultimate test of a good restaurant, or do you have a better tell?

@RealEmirHan I wonder if maybe Sophia Loren was an influence

Julia Roberts couldn’t stop eating pasta during filming Eat Pray Love and gained 10 pounds. “I’d eat a whole bowl of pasta.“ “We start shooting at 8 in morning. By 8:45 I’d eat 10 pieces of pizza.” Her husband was fine with it. “Guys don't care what you look like naked.”

@yabbanx Just needs a microwave

China is waging a serious ‘war’ against Western car manufacturers. This is not normal bro. 😂 🏷️ $80,000

@financedystop The ONLY way to conduct your restaurant business !!!!

In-N-Out does over $1 billion a year while still using quality ingredients and keeping prices reasonable. People on the East Coast have been begging for locations for years, but the company refuses to rapidly expand or franchise because they want every store close to their fresh ingredient supply chain.

@WSJ @SaraEisen Love it !!! Maybe they can arrange for AI to eliminate all the sweating humidity too

Ken Griffin suggested his investing firm Citadel would "double down" on Miami being the place for growth. "Looking at what Mamdani just did to me, and more broadly is doing to the City of New York, is triggering of the trauma I went through in Chicago." on.wsj.com/4w1WnwG

@Leah742 Low IQ

We hate your stupid ballroom!!!!

@joncoopertweets …and this guy accusing others of a low IQ. Hah !!!!!

THERE IS A VERY GOOD REASON WHY DOCTORS ASKED TRUMP TO TAKE A COGNITIVE SCREENING TEST THREE TIMES.
