This was a movie that was new to me, so I enjoyed exploring it with @Playlikeajet1. And I liked it so much I immediately read the book it was based on.
🍿🍿🍿🍿Coming WED on a brand new Back at the Movies…. Things get covered up. People lie. And so it’s important that we talk…… About the 1997 Atom Egoyan classic “The Sweet Hereafter” starring Ian Holm, Bruce Greenwood, & Sarah Polley. A story about a tragedy in a small Canadian town spirals out of control & nothing is what it seems. @MatRyanELATeach returns for an in-depth discussion on one of the 1990’s best films.

Jane Austen is such an astute—and funny—observer of human nature, Exhibit no. 3,986.

I really respect the vulnerability here. Not many people are willing to reveal themselves so openly on this platform. As an Irish Catholic guy drawn to stoicism, I’m in awe.
I genuinely hate the Patriots. Not even a “oh they’re our rival booooo” no like I think Kraft and Vrabel need to be tarred and feathered in the town square and the entire org should be disbanded. I hope Gillette Stadium burns down in a fire. I hate them with my whole heart

This is my first year in a position I've wanted for a very long time: Department chair. I'm having such a great time observing teachers and learning from how they lead their classrooms. I'm trying to do a lot of listening in these first months in this position.

I can’t believe the Patriots scored that touchdown. #TNF

Sad news. I remember seeing Benzinger play at McCoy Stadium for the Paw Sox when I was a child. And he was one of the players whose image was painted on the walls of the ramps in the stadium.
The Cincinnati Reds are saddened by the passing of former first baseman and 1990 World Series champion Todd Benzinger. Todd will be remembered with great affection and gratitude for his place in one of the most memorable chapters in Reds history. Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, former teammates and all who knew and loved him.

Watching "Psycho" with my film studies students who knew nothing about the movie was quite the experience. The shower scene had them reeling!

WHAT a terrific ad!
🚨 BREAKING: Tad Jude just dropped the political ad of the cycle in Minnesota. You need to watch every second of this. It’s time to take our state back, Minnesota!

This is pure gold. I’m never leaving this place!
Replying to @MatRyanELATeach
Brother u have 110k tweets to nobody, nobody gives a shit if it isnt for you. Ofcourse it isnt for you, alot of things aren't for you, like having a full head of hair. Guy hits a big home run in a alcs game and celebrates and an obese egg head man cries about it on twitter.

I must be old because this is not it for me.
This is how you celebrate a home run in a game that could send you to the World Series. Junior Caminero is ready.

Btw, I’m not saying there shouldn’t be an expression of joy. I’m reminded of Kirk Gibson pumping his arms during his famous HR run around the bases. But this behavior was so far over-the-top that it easily became obnoxious and disrespectful to his sport.
