The true and honest and probably embarrassing answer: “If You Could Only See” by Tonic. (The way college me loved that song…)

Honorable mention “The Way” by Fastball.

I have honestly not stopped thinking about this all day

But I do have what's called mild cognitive impairment, which gets in the way and its effect is on the memory, of just being able not to remember lines. Even though I would prepare and know the lines and know them cold, actually getting in and getting all the ducks lined up was difficult to do. And I expressed that to the casting director, Cassandra, and she said, "Well, let me talk to Paul and I'll get back to you."
And we did a little audition. It was for another
part in the film, and I just had trouble even doing that without some help with the lines. So I was surprised when she came back to me and said,
"We'd love to have you still, but there's another role that we have in mind." And with that, I was
cast and came on the set for [a five-day] shoot.
And working with all these wonderful actors in the scene and with Paul that day, the first day, again, I couldn't remember my lines. Out of the few that l had, it would often be one word out l couldn't grab. So the first day, I was afraid it was going to happen, that this memory thing was going to get in my way.

And Paul, he put his arm around me and just said,
"Hey, don't worry about it. You're going to get this thing. I'm pleased that you're here." And he was so encouraging and on a level, just like the casting director when she contacted me, there was a level of understanding and listening and just... it made you want to be part of the situation, part of the program. It was emotional.
It was emotional. So the first day I couldn't remember my lines all the way through without looking up at least once or twice. And the second day, at the end of that day, Paul said to me, "Well, we're going to be doing your coverage tomorrow." He says, "Would you be averse to using cards? Have you ever used cards?" I said,
"No, I haven't. I mean, I know actors do it."

He says, "Well, would you mind if we did that? It might help you, it might not." And I said, "Sure, sure, I'll try it." So the next day, there it was, and they had just various words because all I needed was one word to remind me. And we did the first take and it was just... it was all there. It was all of the emotions of who l was and who l am at this
particular time. It just sort of happened. He didn't need to tell me what to do or how to do it and he didn't ask me to do anything different. I just suddenly radiated the total experience just by having those little prompts.
I was reminded of years ago, I was doing Murder, She Wrote, and we had Farley Granger on in the scene and he couldn't remember his lines. He kept going over and over, and I was a young actor at that time and I didn't quite understand. I knew that he was having trouble and [Angela Lansbury put her arm around Stewart and said,
"Don't worry. Don't worry. We will get this. You just take your time." And sure enough, that's what he did and he got it. I thought back on that. That's kind of what I went through here.

Definitely just bribed myself with a cocktail to do some chores after work. And now I’m drinking my well-earned(?) G&T.

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

I also did a lot of dumb things as a youngster pre-internet but the difference is none of them were SAYING I LOVE HITLER and JOKING ABOUT SLAVERY, JD.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

It is tacky for really famous people to be in TV commercials for products. Their gambling debts/boat repairs are not my problem, those roles should belong to actors like the Time To Make The Donuts guy and the actress who said "who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker" in that Orbit ad.
