What is your favorite movie starring Philip Seymour Hoffman?

@TheCinesthetic Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead (but his best performance imo is in The Master)

@toobanlad I know!!!

7 December 1939 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Joan Vintura, was born in Amsterdam. In September 1943 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

@RealEmirHan Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master

Best male performance in movies? I’ll start:

6 December 1928 | Dutch Jewish girl, Betje Polak, was born in Rotterdam. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in October 1942. She did not survive.

Today’s commute in Macroom. Priority is given to cars. There’s no footpath here for both a secondary school and a primary school, so we dodge moving cars @SRTS_Ire @CorkSafetyAlert @irishexaminer @rtenews

Today, Dec 6, is the birthday of Rojelio Torres. He should be 12 but died May 2022 at Uvalde. A positive boy…always a big 😀… Rojelio ❤️ Pokemon, hot Takis, video games, being outdoors, & playing 🏈. Rojelio loved people & enjoyed helping others including teachers & family.

3 December 1942 | A Polish man, Józef Steinhof, was registered at Auschwitz with no. 79606. He was a teacher, farmer and politician. Activist of the peasant movement. He was a member of the lower house of Polish parliament (Sejm). During the German occupation, he was active in the underground organisation Stronnictwo Ludowe (People's Party) "Roch". On 18 July 1942, he was arrested and interrogated by the Gestapo in Nowy Sącz and Cracow. He pershed in Auschwitz on 20 May 1943. @DziejeSejmu @KancelariaSejmu @nowePSL

3 December 1933 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Rosalia Elisabeth Bloemist, was born in Amsterdam. In February 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

This is heartbreaking. A woman in Warren, Ohio, has been charged with abuse of a corpse for trying to plunge a toilet after having a miscarriage at 22 weeks while using the restroom.

This man’s crimes should be much better known.

Seeing people tweet about people drinking or hanging out outside Gaelscoil Coláiste Mhuire and politicians pretending to give a shit all of a sudden about it. So here’s a story about how the state has failed one of the few working class gaeilscoils in Dublin for a years (1/?)

1 December 1921 | A Dutch Jewish woman, Sophia Brandel, was born in Rotterdam. In August 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.
