Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor. Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys. It grossed $17m Here's a bit of David's acting:

One of Canada’s largest newspapers published what read a whole lot like an incitement to violence against NDP Leader Avi Lewis, prompting widespread condemnation. Yet for some reason, there appears to be all but radio silence from mainstream Canadian media. Here's what I found:

That said, if there are any young men out there who are suffering, you are not alone. Your feelings are valid. You are stronger for feeling your emotions than trying to hide them. There are people out there who will listen and help guide you through what you are going through.

I've never understood why prostitution is illegal, since most of the ugly and dangerous things related to it are caused by that illegality. I finally get it. Making it legal would create oversight, interfering with trafficking and pedophile rings--things wealthy men love.

Empathy and showing emotions are a sign of a stronger man than those who hide suppress theirs. Being open about your emotions means being open to being hurt, or rejected. A truly strong man will take those chances, learn from them and grow as a result.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
