Steven Sotloff’s courage in captivity. Thank you Marc for sharing. time.com/7012216/remembering…
Jim was killed by ISIS 10 years ago today. Thanks to the efforts and moral courage of Diane Foley and countless others, friends and family of kidnapped Americans have a hostage policy that can bring more loved ones home. nytimes.com/2024/08/18/opini…
YES!
Breaking News: Russia freed Evan Gershkovich, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, and others in a multicountry prisoner exchange with the West, Turkish officials said. Paul Whelan, a former U.S. Marine arrested in 2018, was also freed, officials said. nyti.ms/4d5w7I2
Lots of fun watching Twister last night thanks to @TheRewatchables. I miss Bill Paxton and Phil Hoffman. We learned of Shelley Duvall’s passing just before starting, which gave the drive-in scene a poetic touch. Movies are magic.
Cheers to state Senator @JulianCyr filing an amendment to repeal the 40-year-old prohibition on happy hour. 🍻 “The refrain I hear most from my fellow millennials is how absolutely boring Greater Boston is, how absolutely boring Massachusetts is, Cyr told @politico.
RIP Donald Sutherland. Less is infinitely more in this heartbreaking scene from Ordinary People youtu.be/2_SfD5cdrnw?si=qdQG…

Congratulations to the 2023 Sundance Film Festival 'Audience Award: World Cinema Documentary' winning film 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL on their Academy Award for 'Best Documentary'! #Oscars
Hurrah Frontline!!!
Thank you for shining light on Diane and Jim.
Out last week in Britain, and next week in the U.S, "American Mother" is a spectacular tale of violence and forgiveness. Colum McCann and Diane Foley tell the story of Jim Foley, the freelance journalist who was beheaded by ISIS in 2014, and how, seven years later, Diane confronted her son's killer. Sting says it will "shake your soul out."

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has been wrongfully detained by Russia for six months. The @wsj and U.S. government vehemently deny the false charges against him and continue to call for his immediate release.
