Had fun with this one. The Rock is The Rock, and you’re either down with that or you’re not. (I am.) But man, seeing the JSA join this universe is amazing. Aldis Hodge is perfect as Carter Hall/Hawkman, and Pierce Brosnan’s Dr. Fate is the movie’s heart and soul. #BlackAdam – at Newark, CA

The situation in Pakistan, following the floods, is worsening.
The death toll from the floods sits at 1700 (600 kids). Water/vector-borne diseases are spreading & a food crisis is impacting millions.
In Aug, UN made a flood relief appeal for $160M. Now it says PK needs $816M.

Drinking coffee as a beverage is said to have originated in Yemen in the 15th century in Sufi Shrines. It was there that coffee berries were first roasted & brewed in a way similar to how the drink is prepared today

Watched the #Smallville pilot with my kids last week to prep for an article, and we’re now 15 episodes into season one. 20 years on from its premiere, this show just plays and plays — an annuity passed between generations like the #Superman myth itself!

Letting go of a grudge doesn’t mean accepting the injustice you feel was done to you. It means refusing to let it inhibit your growth and happiness any more than it already has.

The people in your life that have always been there for you are the least likely to demand gratitude from you or tell you when they need you.
Thank them. Check in on them. Pray for them in their absence. And be present for them when they need you.

Toldya. The Stock Market dipped due to Delta Variant cases exploding everywhere and these haramzaday, all of whom are vaccinated, have now done a 180 after spreading anti vaxx disinformation because they are simply the worst people on Earth.

Today we are launching a solution - a grant to Muslim filmmakers and a blueprint for the industry to take up NOW, please help spread the word. pillarsfund.org/muslims-in-f…
