I was in Mali earlier this year shooting a documentary and stayed for about a month. Malians are some of then nicest most kind people I have ever come across on my journies. They go so far out of their way to help anyone in need or for even a small kind gesture.

When I was there a leader of a village told me about a story about an incident a few years back when a Russian military group was in town looking for Muslim extremists. They would go around every day for months rounding up men from the village and would shoot them and throw them in a pit and burn it. The leader told me how every morning they would wake up to gun shots and would have to ask around town to figure out who had been taken and killed that day.

Was one of the most horrific stories I have ever heard from another human being.

My fancy boxed mac n cheese mix is mixing the powder sauce with smoked Gouda and Parmesan. Real butter. Mixing it into the cooked pasta. Then adding sauted brussel sprouts and some parsley onto it.

I noticed on Reddit. Within a half hour boys and Fox News along with other right wing voices were already pushing a very extreme anti leftist propaganda across the board. Before he was even announced dead and obviously before anyone even knew who the shooter was.

It was so wild to see it happen live as if it was an ad campaign that was planned for release.

Californians te the worst drivers in the world because none of them understand this simple concept. Every day I’m driving, I give more than enough space in front of me for someone to cut me off and I don’t have to brake. It’s simple. However, I’m constantly getting people riding my ass. Switching around me. And being over all menaces just because I’m leaving a roper gap between myself and the car in front of me. It’s wild.
