So proud to have worked on this amazing show #TheBigFib for @disneyplus! An honor to work alongside such an amazing group of people, especially Queen @YNB. Glad that it's finally official!

I would like to express sincere condolences to all the families who have lost loved ones, in particular their daughters, who were at the summer camp, in the disaster caused by flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas in the United States. We pray for them.

@ThreeDawgLadyDe @SenatorWarnock How was it?

I'm so excited! My hometown of Waycross, Ga. is celebrating it's bicentennial, AND, @SenatorWarnock will be speaking this morning at 10. Myself and my 85yo Mom will be there and I will post pics when I can!

@ThreeDawgLadyDe I’m so sorry. Thinking of you and your family

3rd day w/o power. Daughter in law in surgery as I type, both legs broken from being crushed in my sons home. But, we are alive. #WaycrossGa #HurricaneHelene

@USMC_wife_ Does he live in Cherokee Heights?

My brother lives in Waycross, Georgia. Day 1 they could only get around on their golf cart. This is his neighborhood. He said they are actively clearing the trees and debris. He could get out in his vehicle day 2 post hurricane. #Helene #Hurricane

Help me tweeps! 🙏🏽 The kids and I are having a debate over what this is. (I’d say wrong answers only, but we really don’t know what the right answer is!)

My new pick for Best Supporting Actor is Matt Damon in the #Dunkings commercial

THIS is what the world needs to know about the civilians in Gaza:

This. I think that people get mixed up between reasons and excuses. There are plenty of reasons why a person may choose to murder/torture/kidnap/rape civilians - they can include growing up in a terrible situation, living in a place like Gaza which has no hope and inhuman conditions - which are caused in part by Israel but also by Hamas. It would be odd to ignore those reasons. But they only go so far. I often act in inquests about people who have taken their own lives in prisons. There will inevitably be medical records which tell their story and often they lived sad and sometimes horrific lives. And they committed terrible crimes. It can’t be a coincidence. But there has to be a point - and there is a point - where background factors are no more than that. People have agency - they are not the unthinking products of their environment. So while there may be relevant reasons which led a person to do terrible, inhuman things, such as massacre hundreds of young people attending a music festival, or going door to door in a kibbutz to mow down families, we do not treat those reasons as excusing their conduct. And we don’t expect, if we do those things ourselves, to be excused. They are *crimes*. We call it *terrorism* for a reason - it is done to create terror and carnage. That is the purpose. Human rights laws and ideas are not the ultimate answer to any question, and certainly not to one of the most complex and entrenched conflicts in the world. But I like to think they do clarify some of the lines which cannot be crossed, whatever the reason, whether it’s extreme religious ideology or a misguided attempt at retribution. And that includes all sides. That doesn’t mean we should ignore background factors, but they must be put in their proper place, which is background not justification. Murder - torture - kidnap - rape - these are never excusable and should never be excused.

Among those I met at Israel’s Soroka hospital was an old professor of mine from #Brandeis University, Ilan Troen. His daughter and her husband were killed in their home by Gaza gunmen. He says they flung themselves over their teenage son, saving him. npr.org/2023/10/07/120…
