The Compassionate Mind - In this short clip His Holiness the Dalai Lama explains why developing a compassionate mind is essential for inner peace and human happiness. When our thoughts are dominated by self-centered attitudes, fear, anger, jealousy, and distrust naturally arise. But when we cultivate genuine concern for the well-being of others, our hearts open and our minds become more transparent, honest, and peaceful. Video was originally recorded on November 19, 2010.

@JohnCleese Not trivial at all ❤️

With all the awful things going on in the world, this may seem trivial, but... I am absolutely tickled pink that Sir Mickey Pallin is receiving rave reviews for his first comedy performance for about 30 years. He's always been the funniest of the Pythons ( except for Eric Idle, of course ) and I want to congratulate him with all that is left of my heart

We’ve forgotten how culturally ubiquitous Shakespeare & Jane Austen were in the 1990s. Their novels and plays were constantly being adapted for film and TV. They were phenomenally popular with young audiences. There’s nothing boring or outdated about these authors.

@CraigyFerg The book I think all Americans and American hopefuls should read. Thank you.

Any chance I get to remind my fellow Americans that we are still the best idea for a country anyone has ever had I’m going to take it. My eagle is still bald and my banner is still spangled with stars. Craig Ferguson: American on Purpose is coming soon to CNN.

WCK is working alongside Panzi Hospital - @PanziUSA @PanziFoundation - supporting the preparation and distribution of fresh, nourishing meals to the hospital’s staff, patients, and their families in South Kivu—the conflict-affected eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). "It’s an honor to support the work of Dr. Mukwege and the communities of eastern Congo. Across the world, we have seen that in the worst of situations, the best of humanity shows up. Panzi Hospital is one of those places where that is powerfully true.” @chefjoseandres, Founder of World Central Kitchen "In eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, where ongoing armed violence and mass displacement have deeply disrupted daily life, access to food is not only a matter of survival but a critical component of healing and dignity.” Dr. @DenisMukwege, Founder of Panzi Hospital Read More: wck.org/news/first-ale… #ChefsForDRC

4 February 1917 | A Polish Jewish dancer Franciszka Mann was born. She was most probably the woman who on 23 October 1943, inside the undressing room of gas chamber II at Auschwitz II-Birkenau, seized SS man Josef Schillinger’s pistol, shot him & wounded SS man Wilhelm Emmerich. — On 23 October 1943 Germans brought a transport of 1,800 Polish Jews from Bergen-Belsen to Auschwitz. They all had passports allowing them to emigrate to South America. The SS sent them to the gas chambers immediately after selection. Men were directed to crematorium III and women to crematorium II. Inside the undressing room of crematorium II in Birkenau, the antechamber to the gas chamber, one of the women sensed the danger they were in and seized SS man Josef Schillinger’s pistol. She shot him and wounded him badly, and also shot a second SS man, Wilhelm Emmerich. This was a signal for other women to attack. However, the SS suppressed the mutiny very fast and finally killed all the women. Schillinger died on the way to the hospital in Katowice. Emmerich survived but was disabled. The identity of the woman has not been 100% confirmed, yet some sources indicate, that it could have been Franciszka Mann.

@sal_castaneda @samesfandiari 🤣

@samesfandiari San Francisco sandwiches is a big reason why I still eat carbs. I won’t be taking questions at this time.

No doubt about it. SF is an elite sandwich city. Boys Deli and Rhea were regulars when i lived in those neighborhoods. A few of my favs not listed here tho

This year, the UN family mourned the loss of our beloved Messenger of Peace, Jane Goodall. The scientist & conservationist dedicated her life to safeguarding nature & its inhabitants. She helped inspire our collective efforts for peace, sustainability & harmony with nature.

Heavy rains in Gaza are flooding tents and makeshift shelters, making already difficult conditions even harder for displaced Palestinians. WCK teams are showing up—reaching families with hot meals when they need them most. When the weather turns and needs grow, we keep cooking. #ChefsForGaza

🚨NEW: Franklin the Turtle author Paulette Bourgeois’s publisher calls out Pete Hegseth: “We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin's name or image, which directly contradicts these values.” RETWEET if you stand with Bourgeois against Hegseth!

In honor of my birthday this week I encourage you to get a library card, read books of folklore, listen to medieval & Tudor Christmas carols, watch an old film by Welles or Bergman. Life is not long and we ought to find some beauty in each day. We ought to hold each other close.

Happy first day of meteorological winter! We haven't seen a ton of #snow yet but we have had rain, so we're in relatively good shape. With that said, we're hoping to see snow in the forecast sooner than later so we can really start building our seasonal snowpack! #CAwz #CAwater

My husband @CaptMarkKelly is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity, dedicating his career to protecting us and upholding our constitution. Today, the President of the United States called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans of all political beliefs need to stand up and say so.
