@Groupon Vouchers worth $150 for oxygen therapy treatments were marked as 'redeemed' by Groupon without my consent. Merchant confirms no use. Need a human to fix this ASAP.

@BratcherSh56675 @NobelPrize Yes, I was introduced to her work in a class on feminist literature, and after that I gobbled up her novels which I thought were absolutely brilliant, as did my professor.

@NobelPrize People need to get a life ! She is a wonderful author. I taught her literature many times over my career of 40 years!

“I can remember being in San Francisco and somebody, a man stands up and says: Now Doris, I hope you’re not going to waste any more time on that boring old realism. And up bounces a woman and says: Now Doris, I hope you’re not going to write any of that awful science fiction.” Author and Nobel Prize laureate Doris Lessing was a formidable writer who wrote more than 50 books that spanned an astonishing number of genres from realistic narratives to autobiographical works and fantasy novels. She was awarded the literature prize in 2007 as "that epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny."

@renoomokri Thank you for these comments based on your extensive research. Finally, someone who speaks truth and makes sense.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but nobody knows who wrote Matthew and John, and the Mark You Have Now Is Likely Not Authentic I love God and have spent a great deal of time and money studying Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, not just by attending a church, synagogue, or mosque and listening to the opinions of others, but by extensive travel, research, consultation, ideation, meditation, and prayer. There is hardly a place in the Jewish Tanakh, Christian New Testament, or Islamic al-Quran that I have not been to out of love for God. For example, the attached photo is of me at the John Rylands Research Institute and Library, where I went to investigate the oldest New Testament manuscript on Earth, the Rylands Library Papyrus P52, which is 1,900 years old. And one thing I observed is that many practitioners of religion do not know much about their faiths beyond what their denominations feed them. Let us start with Christianity. One of the greatest grey areas in Christianity is the assumption that the Gospels are Scripture in the sense that they are the direct Word of God, as in the "Thus says the Lord". Are they inspired works? Yes. They are also written accounts of historians (Luke) who never met Yeshua (Jesus). Luke actually says so in the opening of his letter to Theophilus (Luke and The Book of Acts are a long letter or treatise to Theophilus). He says quite clearly that he did not directly experience the things he was writing about and was only writing what he had been told by persons who were eyewitnesses to the events he detailed. He never claimed that he heard from God or was inspired by the Holy Spirit. The source of his writings (Luke) came purely and exclusively from investigative journalism, which he referenced in Luke 1:3: "I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning. I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus." Luke may have experienced some of the events in the book of Acts. A Gospel that could be direct eyewitness recollections is maybe Mark. The original author of Mark wrote only Mark 1-16:8. EVERYTHING after Mark 16:8 was added centuries later by an unknown author. Before you insult me, just do your research. This is a fact! Why do I say maybe, when I reference Mark? Well, of all the Gospels, Mark is the oldest and is mostly believed to have been written by him. But the truth is that we are not sure who wrote it. By faith, I accept that Mark wrote it. The books of Matthew and John were ATTRIBUTED to them. The truth is that these were ANONYMOUS works and nobody knows the authors. And when they were first discovered, they were not known as the Book of Matthew or the Book of John. Please fact-check me. Matthew was anonymous for two years until European Christians decided to name it The Gospel According to Matthew. The anonymous book that we now know as the Gospel According to John was only so named 150 years after its discovery. Prior to that it was an anonymous book. In fact, John 21:24 proves that John is unlikely to have authored the book that now bears his name. That verse reads: "This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true." Please, for your sake, assume I am lying and fact-check me. When Paul wrote 2 Timothy 3:16 and says: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness" He was referring to the Jewish Tanakh, not the Gospels. How do we know? Because Paul's letters were written BEFORE the entire Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. 1st Thessalonians was the first book of the New Testament to be written. And it was actually a letter. Mark, the oldest Gospel, was written about fifteen years later. All the Gospels were written AFTER the death of Yeshua (Jesus) and Paul, and were never used by Yeshua or Paul's followers in their lifetimes.

@ShifuJu_ @Showtime I think Showtime should air the director’s cut of the original movie. Not many people remember it. I also believe that knowing the original would enhance the viewing experience of this excellent show.

#TheManWhoFellToEarth season finale was dope! Love the character development of Faraday! Hope the show gets renewed for season 2 @Showtime

@BlissfulBeauty @1783Amer1can @AngelaBelcamino My thought as well

@1783Amer1can @AngelaBelcamino That is plausible. Will is on the same Hollywood plateau as the dreadful Alec Baldwin; Chris isn't. My take is that the Chris/Will incident was rehearsed/ staged.

Why wasn't Will Smith removed from the Oscars by security after committing an act of violence against Chris Rock?

@Armando42467824 @OTKdr3 @BlackStarDiva @rickygervais @chrisrock He didn’t know

@OTKdr3 @BlackStarDiva @rickygervais @chrisrock Roasting actors is one thing…shaming someone suffering from a medical condition is something completely different…

Sorry to drag @rickygervais into this but his jokes at the Golden Globes were brutal. BRUTAL. No one slapped him because…well…he’s a comedian. @chrisrock didn’t deserve this and Will Smith ruined what should have been one of the best nights of his life.

@RealThunder402 @BlackStarDiva @rickygervais @chrisrock Clear he didn’t know

@BlackStarDiva @rickygervais @chrisrock he defended his wife honor, making fun of someone's medical condition is crossing the line. I stand with Will Smith.

@ErieNotEerie No not worth it

Anyone have a digital subscription to the NYT? And is it worth it?

@Emywinst @DrSmithNJ 👍🏻

@presslstore This doesn’t look legit

@CawthornforNC Republicans only worry about inflation when they are not in power.

Can someone send a few economics textbooks to the Capitol? The Dems push for a minimum wage hike makes it clear that they have no idea what inflation is. (1/2)

@llooksi @brianstelter Says the person who can’t spell s-e-n-s-e

@cjsang111 @brianstelter There are many videos of him rambling and not making sence.

Harris Faulkner: "What do you think they (protesters) want?" Trump:

The lighter penguin is an elderly female whose partner died this year. The darker one is a younger male who lost his partner two years ago. Biologists have followed them as they meet every night to comfort each other. They stand for hours together watching the lights in Melbourne

@OnlineDetective @amandacarpenter It might be left over from the missing inauguration money

@amandacarpenter People really need to read the details of incident. Obviously completely cray-cray that included car ramming HVAC guys van off the road - gun to his head - knee in his back waiting for PD. BUT... how about that ex-cop had been paid $266K. Where does that kind of money come from?

@Christina_T_ @JenniferJJacobs Santa says you can only pick one

NEWS: Along with Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, at least FOUR other White House aides currently have coronavirus, per sources. Pains were taken to keep Meadows’ illness a secret, I’m told. And people around him who knew were told to keep quiet.

@theclobra @JenniferJJacobs @Yamiche Under the podium kissing Trump’s ass.

@JenniferJJacobs @Yamiche Any word where Mike Pence has been?

@LBGTQ_Ally @JenniferJJacobs Visiting friends in hell?

@JillianOhana @LBGTQ_Ally @JenniferJJacobs I don’t think he knows where he is either.

What's one movie that never fails to cheer you up and make you laugh?
