A beautiful thread
Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

We are called upon to place our hanukiahs outside the front door or in the window; “in a time of danger, placing it on a table will suffice.”
This should not be a time of danger. It must not be a time of fear.
Happy Hanukkah.

I’m not sure I have any great wisdom or feeling other than profound sadness about where we are. But I’m glad to be lighting the candles tonight. To pull a clue from a nearly 75-year-old hand-sewn felt dreidel made by a grandmother I never got to know so our son can run around our house in joy.

MARY POPPINS FOR HOMICIDES 👏👏👏
my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Today is the anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting. There are no words to express the grief and anger that our young people continue to be slaughtered in school.
And for what? More guns?
This is a policy failure — and a moral one. Enough.
My heart is with Providence today.
