Democratic Congressional Leader Hakeem Jeffries is one of the great orators of Congress. Come and see him on a rare visit to Los Angeles.
American values over autocracy. Benevolence over bigotry.
So begins the rousing finale of the first floor speech delivered by Congressman Hakeem Jeffries upon his historic elevation as House Democratic Leader, affirming the values of our great country one letter of the alphabet at a time. Equal parts inspiring and urgent, his words provide a timeless reminder of what will keep the United States the greatest democracy in the history of the world. In clever and memorable turns of phrase, Jeffries paints an alphabetic road map for a brighter American future and warns of the perils of taking a different path. Jeffries, known for his alliterative style and rousing speeches, brings his blueprint for the future to vivid, colorful life.

Someone has written recently, and I'm sorry I don't know who it was, that "Joan Baez has her revenge on Dylan, because she has aged so gracefully, and he looks demonic."

Men interessant. Ja. Knausgård gir språk til vår uro, men Taylor elsker uroen som vil gi ny makt til mennesker som Knausgård egentlig ikke liker. Tenker jeg.

    Impressive contributions to cinematography. KB🤩, That said, as far as it regards film making and writers block/material, it seems ‘the aspects of character relationship’ are/is an important focus/focal point in films. It also seems, in some cases, the movie is overdone, as though there is too much going on, sometimes much too much going on, ‘Tenet’ imo seemed to be such a film. The character relationship realization as of late, most recent discussions on the topic, though is an important discovery for the future of film, as the movie experience is not only about ‘big and boom’, there is a softness between two having a friendly happy chat or an intense exchange between two or howsoever many characters where there is a show of emotions, a connection of human interaction, the socialization of human beings. When there is so much stunt work and too much busy action scenes and the characters relationships are lacking or nonexistent it can seem as though the audience is watching nothing, as though it means near nothing. Audience connection, through feelings, mutual experience etc. while it doesn’t seem ‘Tenet’ was completely lacking character relationships, it was busy with action scenes, seemed almost too busy. Striking the right balance, as with most things, 👌. A good movie watching experience is, 👏👏👏. 😊
