@Gentleman_Ways @DGR_Institute Came here to say this exact thing. Great post, I talk about this a lot too, standards have certainly devolved, since COVID it’s good to even have anyone actually show up and not flake out!

@DGR_Institute Actually you can put them in a vase before hand and remove that stress for them. That way can focus on hosting duties

A simple rule of good manners: When someone invites you into their home, don't arrive empty-handed. Even if the host says, "Just bring yourself," it's thoughtful to bring a small gift, a bottle of wine or a bouquet of flowers. A small gesture shows gratitude towards the host.

@TheCinesthetic Him as an Oompa Loompa in Wonka also! He had a ton of fun with that

Hugh Grant in PADDINGTON 2 (2017) feels like an actor discovering a whole new kind of fun. Grant throws himself into every ridiculous moment with the enthusiasm of someone who knows exactly how funny the role is.

every time I buy a new notebook there is a brief but powerful moment where I genuinely believe I am about to become the most organized human alive

@Gentleman_Ways @XStrangeHistory Nobody said Breakfast at Tiffany’s?

I’m starting a series with @XStrangeHistory on the films of Hollywood's Golden Age. We'll be watching classics like Casablanca for the stories, and the style and sophistication. We invite you to watch along and join our live discussions. What films should we add to the list?

“Read books. Travel when you can. Learn how to cook one meal exceptionally well. Sit in old bars and talk to strangers. Wear your best jacket to dinner. Appreciate good wine, good music, and good conversation. Do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Set the example for younger men who are watching you. Call your parents. Take long walks. Leave your phone behind sometimes. Become the kind of man people feel better after being around. Life is short, so live it well.” -J.B. Lloyd

@Gentleman_Ways Yes, we are carrying the torch for the Good True and Beautiful, holding standards! Let’s go, my friend! Thank you 🙏🏻

@BePutTogether_ Thank you, Lorie. It’s so frustrating isn’t it? That’s one of the reasons I started this account. It seems like things we were taught as young people are no longer taught. Thanks to people like you, we can make a difference and get society back on track. Of this, I’m sure!

Masculinity isn’t toxic. It means protecting those who depend on you, providing for your family, accepting responsibility, and serving something greater than yourself. Strong families and prosperous societies depend on honorable men. Does society know the value of masculinity?

Decline is a choice. Decay is a choice. But thanks to @POTUS, America is choosing renewal over resignation, restoration over deterioration and beauty over blight. Today, Columbus Circle once again reflects the pride, strength and promise of the United States of America.

Could you imagine if there were notebooks that said “The future is male” at department stores? Mugs that say “I drink female tears.” Sweaters that say “Dump Her.” What would little girls think if they saw those? I just don’t understand why it’s acceptable the other way around.

@DrunkRepub I always tell my kids it was more like friendly sports rivalries back then, like Aggies vs. Longhorns.

Gen Zers don’t remember a time when this country wasn’t horribly divided. If your political memory starts with George W Bush and only includes Obama and Trump you probably just assume we were always this dysfunctional. But we weren’t. We used to all hang out together and make fun of each other and stuff. Politics just weren’t that big a deal; besides abortion our biggest arguments were over crap like marginal tax rates. I don’t see it happening again any time soon, but I’m glad I got to at least experience it. I hope my kid gets to one day, too.

It’s time we fight for beauty once again…

@thewaronbeauty I bought a dictionary from the 80s on eBay with the exact intention of being able to sanely reference what words were documented to mean. It is fascinating to leaf through.

The death of the dictionary

+1 for manners 🙌🏻

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

You don’t have to be everyone’s butterfly. Be a bee. Mind your business, make your honey, and sting people when necessary.

Audrey Hepburn in the Ascot dress is the peak of costume design. 60 years later and nobody has touched this level of elegance. High fashion peaked in 1964 and it’s been downhill since. 🎬🎥 My Fair Lady 🔥❤️😱
