A UPS driver’s excitement over his first paycheck could hardly be contained. Yoel Diaz said he was so excited because he could barely fill his refrigerator before immigrating from Cuba. Now, he lives in Phoenix, Arizona, and his fridge is full. "This is my first hourly paycheck that I... feel every hour counted," he said in the video. "That every hour of work has importance in my life and that I know I can work hard for something. I can't compare that emotion with anything. Because I never had that in my country." He stated, he's "grateful" to be in the United States. "When you have this for the first time, your head explodes and say, 'Wow, it's beautiful,'" he said. Before he came to the U.S. in 2021, Diaz was a computer science teacher in Cuba, earning $12 a month. He lamented how far ahead the U.S. was in the field. Diaz met his wife, who is Cuban American, when they were young and still living in Cuba. She'd often tell him about the realities outside of Cuba, which she believed was held back by its Communist party. They eventually married and were faced with a decision: stay or go to the U.S. Diaz said he told his wife: "We want a future, we want a family... wherever you go I go." He came to America on a K-1 visa, and when he received his work permit, he applied for a job at UPS. "I never had this much money in my hands from my effort, from my sweat, and it hurts that millions in my country and other countries can't have that," he said. "And being here, you can get it in a dignified manner."show more

This was me after my first USPS paycheck in 1987. It was the first time I was paid on the same scale as a man. It was $9.60 and hour. Thank all that is good and just for unions.

“EVERYONE. This man came into my yard a couple of hours ago and offered to cut my grass for a certain price. I didn’t have enough money today to afford that on top of everything else, and I told him to come back in a week. A few minutes ago, I heard a loud noise outside of my house. I opened the door and noticed that he was cutting my grass. I went running out to him and yelled for him to stop... he shook his head no. He told me that he saw my kids playing in the yard and was worried about snakes being in the grass and biting them because the grass was too tall. I again told him to stop because I couldn’t pay him. He said that he didn’t need to be paid, he had grandchildren, and that he hoped someone would look after them in the same way. I was brought to tears. I hugged him. We talked about different struggles we’ve had in life, and he told me that this is what the news doesn’t report. He told me the news doesn’t report the black neighbor helping out the white neighbor because it isn’t good for the network to make money. I told him that he has a good heart. I told him I wish more people on earth were like him. We hugged again. He is still outside cutting my grass, and it’s dark now. I am so grateful to have him as a new friend. His name is Johnny, and he lives in Taylors, South Carolina. He cut my grass for free tonight because he was worried about my children playing outside in the tall grass. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves” Credit: Helen Bell

“For a long time, I was a guest in our house” Thierry Henry speaks from his soul. He has depth. He’s a man in touch with himself. I recall some years ago, he spoke about how much he wanted to please his father on Steven Bartlett Diary of a CEO podcast. Everything he aimed to achieve was to please the voice that rang in his head, telling him to do it better. His father stood behind him while he built a career, probably saw the good many never saw. As a father, he also mentioned how COVID-19 changed his life. It was the point he chose his family. That was probably why he said at some point, he became a guest in his house. Men become guests in their house. There was a Reminisce Alaga interview I saw. I think it was on ISaidWhatISaidPod. He said there was a point he went into his daughter(s) room and asked when they painted the wall pink. His wife told him it’s been there for two years. He said that was the point he thought it important to rest on the tours and be with his children. At that point, he probably was a guest in his house. Men’s lives are not easy. Footballers especially — elite footballers most especially are like tour musicians. They’re often on the road. You’re playing away games round the country, spending three days or more away from home when you have continental away games. Gabriel Jesus spoke about the same thing in his recent interview with The Players’ Tribune titled “A Letter to My Family and my Arsenal Family”. He said football made him distant but his ACL injury brought him closer. “I wasn’t the husband and father that I needed to be,” he said. When his wife gave birth to his daughter, he said he only held her for one day. Brazil called and he had to go. And he was a guy who grew up without a father. For his child at the time, he was there now but wasn’t there too. “I always promised myself: When I become a father, I will always be there for my kids. “When Helena was born, I was not living up to that. I was there, but I was always distracted, you know? Always catching a flight.” That’s the tough decisions men have to make sometimes. At the point of growth and ascent, life will ask questions, and difficult decisions will need to be made. Hopefully, it will be one that won’t damage the future. The future one is securing.

Gary Payton on when he knew Dwyane Wade was “him” and says he reminded him of Kobe Bryant 👀 “The year before when they ECF when they lost. I watched that. This lil kid has a lil spunk to him but he just don’t have the people to guide him the right way. When we got here I watched him in practice and how he worked, he reminded me of Kobe a lot. He’d get in there and put in his extra work. We were playing games and he had 3 games where he had 30 or more. I was like ‘we have to understand that this is him. This is his basketball team.’ I had a meeting with Posey, I had a meaning with Antoine. I said ‘yall know this kid can go, he’s the one.’ They agreed with it. Only person we had to overtake was Shaq. He bit in” (Via Miami HEAT)

Austin Reaves on his interaction with the ref: "I felt like I was respectful to all of them all night. A million times in the past, I've said way worse stuff. And when we were doing the whole tip ball and they were switching spots, I wanted to get on the other side because they had a guy on the other side, was just trying to keep an advantage. And he turned around and yelled in my face. I just thought it was disrespectful. The whole time that was going on over there, I don't think he said much to them. I know Ben (Taylor) stepped in and said something. But at the end of the day, we're grown men and I just didn't feel like he needed to yell in my face like that. I told him that. I wasn't disrespectful. I told him if I did that to him first, I would've gotten a tech. I feel like the only reason I didn't get a tech was because he knew he was in the wrong. I felt disrespected"

On the 13th of Sept, someone transferred 180k for an iPhone Xs 256GB. After acknowledging his receipt, he called, and I told him we don't have it but will ask colleagues and let him know. I asked my friend, and he told me 190k. I begged him to leave it at 180k because that is what the guy deposited (check frame 2 for reference). When he sent the phone from Kano to Jos, then I noticed it was an Xs Max. Seeing that the guy was in a hurry and didn't want to disappoint, I called him and told him what happened and said if he wants the Max, he can take it at no additional cost. I was willing to settle the difference because it was his first time buying from us. I packaged it with a new premium charger because all our used phones are sent packaged in our branded box with a charger, and I sent it to him in Abuja. He later messaged that he has received the phone and truly appreciates it. After months of not receiving any complaints from him, it clearly indicates that he has received a fully functioning phone. It is in our policy that if you find anything faulty within one week, you can return it to us and either ask for a replacement or refund. What this means is that the cost of bringing it from Kano to Jos, the packaging and charger, and the delivery to Abuja are all a loss to me. But I didn't mind because at least I have satisfied him. Nine weeks later, while I was in Kano, I saw a call from an unknown number. When I picked up, he said it was him. He told me that the camera has started giving him problems. I told him it has been months since you bought it, but you can take it to any repair store and tell me how much you spent, and I will pay. He asked if I know anyone, and I sent him someone's number. The guy didn't pick; he texted and informed me and later called me. I told him to go to anyone he trusts and let me know the amount he spent. A few days later, I was stranded between Kaduna and Abuja on my trip from Kano to Abuja because my car engine failed. He called, and I didn't pick; I don't even know his number. Later in the night, I received his messages on WhatsApp with a threat that he will make a video to tarnish the image of my business. Someone I was willing to help after months of buying a USED device from me is threatening me. I said he should go ahead because I can't entertain him anymore. In conclusion, a trade that I incurred a loss from is what some people are trying to justify as a scam. The beautiful part is I have made trades with hundreds of people here, and I would love two more people to come out and present a case in which they are still using a device I sold to them that is faulty and they contacted me for a replacement or refund, and I didn't do it instantly. "The hypocrite will always look for faults" - Ghazali. Those that are looking for a fault in me can justify something as woke as this; it doesn't matter. This is my own side and will no longer entertain him anymore. For those that believe in me without hearing from me, thank you so much.

Howard Hawks on his meeting with Al Capone & what Capone and another famous Chicago gangster thought about 'Scarface' (1932) when they saw the film: "Interviewer: Did you have any contact with Al Capone while making the picture? Hawks: While we were making 'Scarface' (1932), five or six of them came out and said, “The boss wants us to see the picture.” And I said, “You go and tell him when it comes out, he can pay a dollar and buy a ticket. You don’t scare me. Why the hell don’t you come out and just ask to see it?” They reported to Capone that it was just great, and they invited me to Chicago to see him. They met me at the train, and they were late. One of the fellows said, “There was a killing last night and we had to go to the funeral.” I said, “Do I have to ride with you if there was a killing last night?” They said I could ride in a different car. But when we went into a café, they would sit with their backs to the wall, and I had my back to the door. We had some damn good-looking girls with us, a bit brassy but very pretty. When I saw Capone, we had tea, and he was dressed in a morning coat, striped trousers, a carnation, being a very nice man, saying how much he liked the picture. I was with him two, three hours. Then he asked me to come again, and I stopped by there. But there was a shooting in Chicago, so they said that he couldn’t come because he was hiding out in Atlantic City or something. Then he came to see me when I was working in Hollywood, and the cops came and arrested him right on the set. Interviewer: So he did see 'Scarface'? Hawks: Five or six times. He had his own print of it. He thought it was great. He’d say, “Jesus Christ, you guys got a lot of stuff in that picture! How’d you know about that?” I said, “Look—you know how somebody can’t testify if he’s a lawyer? Well, I’m a lawyer.” And he laughed. He didn’t give a damn. Another famous gangster brought two very lovely daughters out to watch the movie and introduced himself to me. He said, “Where’d you get that stuff in that killing?” I asked him, “Why? Are you mad?” He said, “No, I’m just curious.” I told him, and he laughed, and he said, “That’s the way we did the shooting. Why hasn’t the picture played in Chicago?” I said, “They won’t let me.” He said, “Do you want it to play?” I said yeah. And he said, “Can I use your phone a minute?” When he finished he said, “You can play it any time you want.” ('Hawks on Hawks', Joseph McBride, 1982) P.S: On this day, 94 years ago, 'Scarface' (1932) premiered in New Orleans, Luisiana.

A #Ukrainian veteran was forced to leave a flight from Tel Aviv to Warsaw The man in the video could not sit in his seat because of his prosthesis. He said he lost his leg in the war and he was flying home to his family in #Ukraine. He was crying and yelling "how am I going to get home?" he showed the stewardess a backpack in which there were only gifts for his family, which must have been waiting for him for a long time.

The last time I saw my grandfather, Izu, was in 2003. He was dying of lung cancer in Venezuela. He was a larger than life man from the Kingdom of Romania who was orphaned at 10 years old, came to Venezuela, and built his entire life from scratch. I was at playing football at the Columbia University when my father called and said, "Look, I know you're really busy with school and sports and all that, but if you ever want to see him again, this is the time." So I talked to my coaches and worked things out and I flew down to Caracas with my father. If you know Venezuelan history, in 1998, Hugo Chavez, the dictator, became president. And the Constitution was clear you could run for only one five-year term. So in 2003, his term was up, but as an autocrat, he was not going to take that lying down. So what does he do? He packs the Supreme court with a bunch of his buddies and petitions for reconsideration.Constitution is clear, you can't run again." So what does he do? He packs the supreme Court with a bunch of his buddies and petitions for reconsideration. The new Supreme Court told him that not only could he run again, he could run as many times as he wanted to. He ruled until 2013 when he died of cancer. After the ruling, there were mass protests which happened to coincide with when I was visiting my grandfather. My grandfather, who was down to roughly 85 pounds and confined to a wheelchair, asked me to wheel him outside onto the balcony and set up the chessboard so we could play one last time. As a little boy, he had taught me how to play chess. I set up the pieces. He couldn't lift his arm enough to move them, so I was moving them for him. He said to me, "Your father tells me you want to go to law school." And I said, "I do." And he said, "Where do you want to go to law school?" So I said, "I want to go to Yale, but I don't know if I'll get in." And then he said, "Well, what kind of lawyer are you gonna be?" And I said, "I really don't know, I'm just in college, I mostly just care about football, you know?" And he looked at me and he had watery eyes at that moment, and he picked up his very bony finger, which took a great deal of effort, and he pointed out at the crowd below and said, "Always remember, this is what happens to a country when good people don't serve it." And so when I got the call to serve as a federal judge, it was a no-brainer. This country welcomed us with open arms when we had nothing and gave us everything we have today. It's the honor of a lifetime to be able to serve, and I'm grateful for it every single day.

So I talked to my coaches and worked things out and I flew down to Caracas with my father. If you know Venezuelan history, in 1998, Hugo Chavez, the dictator, became president. And the Constitution was clear you could run for only one five-year term. So in 2003, his term was up, but as an autocrat, he was not going to take that lying down. So what does he do? He packs the Supreme court with a bunch of his buddies and petitions for reconsideration.Constitution is clear, you can't run again." So what does he do? He packs the supreme Court with a bunch of his buddies and petitions for reconsideration. The new Supreme Court told him that not only could he run again, he could run as many times as he wanted to. He ruled until 2013 when he died of cancer. After the ruling, there were mass protests which happened to coincide with when I was visiting my grandfather. My grandfather, who was down to roughly 85 pounds and confined to a wheelchair, asked me to wheel him outside onto the balcony and set up the chessboard so we could play one last time. As a little boy, he had taught me how to play chess. I set up the pieces. He couldn't lift his arm enough to move them, so I was moving them for him. He said to me, "Your father tells me you want to go to law school." And I said, "I do." And he said, "Where do you want to go to law school?" So I said, "I want to go to Yale, but I don't know if I'll get in." And then he said, "Well, what kind of lawyer are you gonna be?" And I said, "I really don't know, I'm just in college, I mostly just care about football, you know?" And he looked at me and he had watery eyes at that moment, and he picked up his very bony finger, which took a great deal of effort, and he pointed out at the crowd below and said, "Always remember, this is what happens to a country when good people don't serve it." And so when I got the call to serve as a federal judge, it was a no-brainer. This country welcomed us with open arms when we had nothing and gave us everything we have today. It's the honor of a lifetime to be able to serve, and I'm grateful for it every single day.

Trump: I was in NY and I met a great police officer and he said, "Sir, I want to thank you." I said, "For what?" He said, "My wife didn't think very much of me. We were having marital difficulties, actually. She thought I was nothing. I'm a police officer. I'm a tough guy." I looked at him. The muscles were all over the place. He didn't suffer from that. He was always losing money in the stock market. And he said, “Sir, in the last year and a half, my 401(k) is up 74%, sir, and she thinks I’m Warren Buffett”

First I said thank you for producing Highway 1009, and I was surprised when he said "Thank you, thank you for saying that" and "I'm so happy you said that" I said of course, we're all looking forward to your work and he was so excited to say "I'm actually preparing for it" and he was confident to say while it's his first time, he's "not nervous or anything and is actually enjoying [the process]." He also kept repeating that he's excited. Also I told him it was my first time and I'm glad to talk to him. (INTERNALLY SCREAMING) He grabbed my hand before I went haha ENHYPEN OFFICIAL #ENHYPEN

Lutnick on being invited over to his then-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein's house: So he invites us in and he says, "Do you want a tour?" We said, "Great!" He's got a really big house. So he gives me a tour in the living room, and then across from it is double doors. I assume it's the dining room. And he opens the doors and there's a massage table in the middle of the room. And candles all around and stuff. So I ask very insightful cutting questions. I say to him, "Massage table in the middle of your house? How often you have a massage? And he says, "Every day." And then he gets like weirdly close to me and he says, "And the right kind of massage." Now my wife is standing here. So she looks at me and I look at her and we say, "I'm sorry, we have to go." And we left. And in the 6 or 8 steps it takes to get from his house to my house, my wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again. So I was never in the room with him socially, for business or even philanthropy. That guy was there, I wasn't going 'cause he's gross.

I was born in Venezuela. My family came here with nothing and we knew no one. But my parents always taught me that in America, you could be and do anything, so long as you worked hard and treated people with respect. When I was in college, I was playing football and my grandfather—who fled Europe during the Holocaust—was dying of cancer. My father called and said, “If you want to see him again, this is your last chance.” So, we flew down to Caracas, and it happened to coincide with a momentous event in Venezuelan history. Hugo Chávez came to power in 1998, and the Constitution said he could run for only one five-year term. So, in 2003, like any self-respecting dictator, he petitioned the Supreme Court to run again. And to their credit, the judges ruled he could not. So, what is a self-respecting autocrat to do? He packed the Supreme Court with his buddies and petitioned for reconsideration. This time the Court said, “Not only did we get it wrong, not only can you run again, you can run as many times as you like, until the day that you die.” And that's what he did. He was president until 2013 when he died. After that decision came down, Venezuelans took to the streets to protest and that coincided with my last trip to see my grandfather. During my visit, my grandfather asked me to take him out on the balcony so we could play chess one last time. He had taught me how to play as a little boy. People were protesting on the streets below. He said to me, “Your father tells me you want to go to law school.” I said I did. He asked, “What kind of lawyer are you going to become?” I said I didn’t know. Then he gathered all the strength that he had, and he lifted his bony finger out at the crowd and he said, “Always remember, this is what happens to a country when good people don't serve.” And so, when I was 34 and the president intended to nominate me to be a federal judge, which is a lifetime appointment, people said, “You're crazy. You got your whole life ahead of you to make money for your family.” But for me, the opportunity to serve this great country was a no-brainer. And what you should know is this country is very much worth serving.

Ford: If Biden had said this about anybody, I would have said he was completely wrong. I hope the president corrects himself. Gutfeld: He was asked to and he didn’t. You don't have to like the things that he says all the time. That is why in my filter, Trump is always words versus deeds. I don't have to like what he says. In fact, I can hate what he says but I can also think in his brain, he is going, I don't like him. He can't let that go. We don't have to like it. Just look at the deeds.

Gradey Dick on Jamal Shead: “He’s amazing. He wants everyone to succeed.” “He has our backs, he has my back, and I have his. When you have a point guard like that, it’s super motivational, and see the work that he puts in every single day.” “People don’t talk about enough about his selflessness. He wants everyone to win.” “I had just missed a shot, and he was one of the first guys that came up to me and said ‘just stay right there.’” “He’s amazing.”

Quentin Taratino said Lawrence Fishburne’s performance in King of New York was so incredible he thought - “he could be the greatest actor of his generation”. He explains: "As great as Christopher Walken is in this movie. To me, it's Larry Fishburne's movie - it was the rock that becomes a diamond aspect of the movie. It's why I could defend this movie against all comers, because to me, Fish's performance in this movie was comparable to a young Brando. It was the most exciting performance by an actor of his generation that I'd seen in a movie of that time. And I thought, well, that's it. There is a new Marlon Brando, and his name is Larry Fishburne - it was amazing, it was mesmerizing… He is the first hip hop gangster in movie history. That character had never been done before this. He invented that character. And he invented it as something to do. It wasn't in the original script. He came up with that himself… The three big Fishburne moments to me, is his opening sequence with…Tito. That's it, with Tito - black glove dude. And his reunion with Frank. And then it's the chicken scene (see below). Those are his three big arias. Not only that though - expressions that I would later hear for the rest of the decade, I actually heard for the first time in that scene. I'd never heard the expression; “I'll slap the black off you” before. That was the first time I heard it when Fish says it to Snipes. I've since heard it many times… And that was actually the first time I ever heard, “fuck you very much”. And I would proceed to hear that for the rest of the 90s. But those were the first times I'd ever heard those expressions… As terrific as he has been in other things - the level of excitement that I had over him when this movie was over, I have never had that excitement again. I thought, with this, he could be the greatest actor of his generation. That was an actual, real fucking thing. He could be the greatest actor of his generation after seeing this."

Glenn Beck just honored Charlie Kirk in the most powerful way yet...by placing Rush Limbaugh’s golden microphone on the Charlie Kirk Show desk. The mic was a gift from Rush’s widow to Glenn Beck. And now, it sits in front of Charlie’s microphone. Beck then shared a story he had never told before...one he deeply regrets not telling Charlie in person. “I want to share a story…that I’ve never shared before and I so regret that we ran out of time.” “It’s a story that I had hoped to tell Charlie myself in the next couple of months.” “When I first met Charlie…and this is the kind of guy he was…he was so gracious, when I first met him, he was young.” “And I said, so, what do you want to do? What is it you want? What? What do you want to do?” “So gracious, he said, I want to be you. I want to do what you do.” “Let me translate: I want to be Rush Limbaugh. He didn’t want to be me. He wanted to be Rush Limbaugh. He wanted to be one of the, as Rush said, radio’s greatest of all time.” “And I remember thinking, well, kid, maybe someday because I think you have it.” “I brought something with me today that I thought was appropriate while I did the show, that I would sit in front of Charlie’s microphone. It was given to me after the death of Rush Limbaugh by his wife.” “It is Rush’s golden microphone.” “I think it’s appropriate that it sits in front of Charlie’s microphone.” “What I would have said to Charlie was, you were thinking too small.” “I want to be Rush Limbaugh someday.” “I’m a broadcaster. Rush was a broadcaster, but Charlie was a broadcaster and a narrowcaster.” “Charlie was a pastor and a priest.” “And listening to the way he could argue and think differently, he was a rabbi as well, and one of the best.” “He was a political organizer.” “He was a political think tank himself.” “He was a compassionate friend.” “He surpassed Rush Limbaugh…by miles.”

The mother of Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, a third-grade student grade student killed in U.S. airstrike on primary school in Minab: I had prepared dinner for him and when he was eating he said: “Mom, the food you made tastes like heaven.” I said: “My son, why are you saying this? You’ve never said this before.” Around midnight he put pillows around himself and sat with his brother. He said: “Brother, let’s play. I’m Iran and you’re America. Let’s play with guns and tanks.” They started playing together. He said: “See, Iran won? Brother, Iran won. I was Iran and I won.” My son said Iran was the winner. All these things seemed to be inspired to him that night. He did all of this the night before his martyrdom. He also prayed and read the Quran that night. In the morning he said: “Mom, take a picture of me.” This child was an angel. He used to say: “My name is Mikaeel. Mikaeel means God’s angel. If anyone has a wish, tell me so I can fulfill it.” God loved him too and took him to Himself. It is true, exactly like that. It was the heartless America that launched a missile at this school where there was nothing suspicious. I myself lived in Minab for four years. They just wanted to kill our children.
