A kid at the library tapped my arm while I was reading and whispered "are you almost done with that table?"
Me: I just got here.
Kid: Okay.
Me: How long have you been waiting?
Kid: A while.
Me: Why do you need this table specifically?
Kid: The light's best here. For drawing.
Me: (looking around)
Me: There are other tables.
Kid: The light's different there.
Me: How old are you?
Kid: Nine.
Me: You're nine and you care about lighting?
Kid: My art teacher says good light matters.
Me: Fair point.
I moved my stuff to the left side and made room.
Me: We can share.
Kid: Really?
Me: Yeah. You draw. I'll read.
We sat together for two hours.
She drew elaborate maps of places that didn't exist.
Labeled everything.
Me: What's this place?
Her: The valley where tired people rest.
Me: Can anyone go?
Her: You just have to need it.
She gave me the drawing when she left.
It's on my fridge now.
Her: You looked like you needed it.
Me: I did actually.
Sometimes a nine-year-old with a map of a made-up valley sees you more clearly than anyone.

@LeadingReport Who cares? She quit the job where anything she says might have mattered, and now she just yells on the internet. Useless.

@Louisfire07 @FoxNews @seanhannity You think the idiots voting for Lindsay for years are going to wise up now?

@FoxNews @seanhannity A famous last name may open the door, but it won't cast the ballots.

"I'm in."
Over a week after the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Darline Graham tells @seanhannity she's running for the full Senate term to replace her brother in South Carolina.
"I have been praying a lot, talking to my family... I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes. Absolutely," Graham says after acknowledging there's "a tremendous amount of pressure" surrounding the decision.

@Bronxborn1979 @RepThomasMassie @AnnCoulter @RepChipRoy @RepNancyMace @RepBrecheen @RepEricBurlison @Rep_Davidson And your response is to knock the guy actually trying to do some good? You're a special kind of retard.

@RepThomasMassie @AnnCoulter @RepChipRoy @RepNancyMace @RepBrecheen @RepEricBurlison @Rep_Davidson You can’t get anything passed except your stupid Epstein law which accomplished nothing

The U.S. sends $2 billion to the Kingdom of Jordan each year. Their King spent $100 million on luxury properties in Malibu, DC, & London. I offered an amendment to end the welfare. Thank the 5 who voted w/me. @RepChipRoy @RepNancyMace @RepBrecheen @RepEricBurlison @Rep_Davidson

@katnic22 @ZackStrength Well he said he took 150 steps, so .......

@ZackStrength Which is accurate? My Apple is good on GPS/miles but not on steps. I’ll have 5.5 miles but only 9500 steps.

@ScottJenningsKY No one hears a thing for weeks, and you just suddenly post about having a phone call with the guy? Did he mention why his wife bailed on him to meet her CCP handlers?

I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.

@girdley If you're getting those figures from the Flightaware screen, there's a flaw in the logic. You're seeing the same daily route, not the actual aircraft.

@oldguy_steve That's one of the worst AI photos I've seen in a long time. The more you look, the worse it gets!

@TheCinesthetic Parent of the year giving the small child a noisy toy and actually putting batteries in it!

John Krasinski insisted the opening of A QUIET PLACE (2018) show the rules instead of explain them.
The studio pushed back, but he kept it. One small sound, one devastating consequence, and the film never has to explain itself again.

Movies with opening scenes that get you pumped.

@DudespostingWs I question if the "jealous" dog was even looking at the one eating the hot dog. Seems like he's staring at something behind the other dog.

@CollinRugg Someone's church is going to be at capacity this Sunday.

@mtgreenee So why did you quit? You were literally in the perfect position to do good things for the people of this country, and you quit (just days after securing your Congressional pension, of course). Now you just scream on X about how things are bad and need to change.

@BillionMagazine They previously had a fleet of four Challenger 604 aircraft valued at $40M each.
