As in, do I like Pleasence?
Yes; very much! 👍
I wouldn't say that the two were comparable though.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Many, many years ago I was nearly cast in a production of Godot, but Beckett and the rights stipulate that a woman can NOT play any of the roles.

Every delay traps people in a system that denies them agency and compassion. The status quo forces suffering, strips families of dignity, and exports choice to foreign countries. It is not neutral; it is actively harmful. To preserve this system is to ignore the pleas of terminally ill people.

We've identified several instances of peers being clear that they're trying to block the Bill. 7 of the most vocal opponents have put forward over 600 amendments, including pregnancy tests for all applicants, a one-year travel ban, and an unworkable requirement for half a dozen GP visits.

'Commit suicide' implies a sin or criminal act. This terminology would risk stigmatising terminally ill patients. Furthermore, this amendment adds nothing in terms of clarity, workability, or safety to the #AssistedDyingBill, yet valuable time was spent debating it.

Bari Weiss, apparently, is pursuing the “de-Baathification of CBS.”
The New Yorker is out with a profile of Bari Weiss. There's a notable quote attributed to "sources close to Weiss and Ellison" saying "readily realizes and admits that she was not as knowledgeable as she should have been about the timing of the marketing and promo process at '60 Minutes.'"
Inside Bari Weiss’s Hostile Takeover of CBS News
The network’s new editor-in-chief has championed a press free from élite bias, while aligning herself with a billionaire class more willing than ever to indulge Donald Trump.
