When I Fall In Love YouTube video by Nat King Cole - Topic

"When I Fall In Love" as performed by Nat King Cole. Frankly, all of Nat King Cole's repertoire goes straight to my heart. youtu.be/jnRzMETUUAI?...

Early after my Father's death, I'd think, "wonder when Dad's coming back from his business trip." Or I'd see an elderly man dressed in khakis & a polo shirt and get totally thrown. After a while, I was able to balance sorrow with appreciation. Have patience with yourself; body & spirit need to heal.

A shot from one of the final scenes from Sidney Lumet's 1974 film "Murder on the Orient Express." In the shot, which is the interior of a train carriage, almost all of the major players are seen with the main character Hercule Poirot (portrayed by actor Albert Finney) in the foreground.

1974 version is one of my all-time favorites! Magical and cinematic with a soaring musical score that draws in the audience.

In the photo, four armed officers in gas masks, in a variety of apparel, hold a prone person while another person kneels beside. The background shows clouds of tear gas. (Photo from Armando L.

Writing of the dangers of tyranny, prescient words of warning from 1774 to future generations: "When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards." (John Adams, 2nd U.S. President) #NoKings #Resist #ReclaimDemocracy

A TV couple who would definitely have a (nerdy) podcast.

Resulting in the U.S. being "less healthy and less safe" ... and an even greater threat to world peace, safety, and international law. The current U.S. regime plans to squander the country's science-leadership position, with potential catastrophic ripple effects. #StandUpForScience

The words are a quote from Professor Wiesel, which reads: "There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest."

There isn't a single person in the current U.S. regime or any GOP representative who can hold a candle to this gentleman. Young white men need to open their ears and listen to this Vet's calm, eloquent assessment of what we're fighting for. #ReclaimDemocracy #HonorVets #NoKings

The #ACA was a godsend for me when my employer purged "pre-retirement" senior staff in 2012. I remember how our CEO declined my request for continued inclusion in the company's group health insurance: "Sorry, no, but you can hope that the ACA passes ...". #MedicareForAll #HealthCareIsAHumanRight

Genuine emotion when the camera slowly pulls back out of the kitchen at the very end of the movie ... no, I want to stay!

People brainwashed to be xenophobic are missing out on so much. I was lucky to enjoy a long career working alongside colleagues of different countries, sexualities & faiths (Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Atheist). What an amazing & enriching life experience! (BTW, Holiday food was amazing!)

A color screen shot from the 1991 movie, "Enchanted April." In the shot, the character Lady Caroline Dester (portrayed by actress Polly Walker) stands in the sun surrounded by greenery, with the Mediterranean Sea in the background.

Would wake up at a villa in Portofino, Italy in the movie, "Enchanted April."

Do the parents of the DOGE bros believe they themselves did a great job? As their son grew to adulthood, did the parents say, "Here he is world; we can't wait to see what our son will do!" The level of arrogance, narcissism, misanthropy, and misogyny displayed by these young DOGE bros is staggering.

Running out of descriptors for my anger at the imbecilic acts of the DOGE bros. The U.S. science community works to benefit humankind & advance scientific knowledge. What can these young men do to make up for the damage they caused? Can they ever again be allowed to participate in civil society?

Wonderful recommendations from all. Such a difficult choice. I'll go with Emmylou Harris ... or Linda Ronstadt ... or Dolly Parton ... or their heavenly combination as Trio. youtu.be/ykMzS6ugnPI?...

Congrats Josh! With the flood of newsroom/journalism cuts across the U.S., possibly there are professionals available to lend their talents to balanced Bluesky reporting on state/local government issues. Collab on recruiting additional talent with Unions who represent news pros (e.g., TNG-CWA).
