He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.

do you remember 13 years ago today? remember thinking surely this would be the last straw, that something would change? i remember weeping at my desk thinking about the wrapped presents waiting under so many christmas trees for six year olds who would never come home.

reminder that the proceeds from 'Last Christmas' get donated to charity and the more people who play Whamageddon the less the song gets played so if you are participating this holiday season may I recommend the Whamhalla variant? It's how many times you hear the song, highest number wins.

please note that the guideline for this is ten years but pertussis wanes after five. if your last Tdap was more than five years ago please get a booster if you want to escape whooping cough, especially if you will be around babies
Just a note to say the all adults should get a tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (aka whooping cough) booster every 10 years, so no titres needed if you're due for those.

If you are worried this is too big an executive function barrier you can go to a pharmacy and they will probably just jab you. That is what I did.
I'm not saying it's necessarily the right way to do this, that is just how much I am not fucking around with the measles

Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.
The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

please note insurance may or may not want to pay for the titer check but will almost certainly pay for the vaccine if you want to just get it again
that's what I did at the beginning of the year

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

my wife works at a college library and part of her safety plan involves her going to big glass windows and doors to close /cover them
this does not make me feel good about her safety

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

i'll be slightly fair to americans here in that the overwhelming majority of unscripted interviews with people who appear in the movies or on television will change your opinion of those people pretty dramatically, usually not for the better
so many of our current problems stem from americans not being able to comprehend that a guy they know from tv might actually be stupid

i am desperately trying to get the damn shingles vax before i turn 50 bc with my luck i'll get shingles at 48 or something. but i'm not technically immunocompromised so i can't get it.
just give me the goddamn vax.
just give me the goddamn vax.
I am baffled by this because I have had so many friends with shingles and NONE of them made it sound fun. Not one. A vaccine that made me absolutely miserable for 48 hours would still be a huge improvement over the mildest case of shingles I've heard of. (Also it made me tired for 1 day.)
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

Dante's Peak. I saw it while trapped on the tarmac in an airplane full of people who didn't speak English, they played it bc we were going nowhere and they had to do something to kill time. (storms all up and down east coast)
that day was an entire nightmare and I'll never watch the movie again

my college had a rule that half your credits had to be in something other than your major. they didn't really care what you took as long as it wasn't your major department.
I took logic on a whim. 20+ years later my major has nothing to do with my career but I use logic all the time.

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.
I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

Okay, this is a fascinating case of social media priming.
So, this creator, Sarah Velush, basically has a channel devoted to deadpan lifestyle humour (a la Chef Tova).
But because a progressive account takes it literally and says... this? Hundreds of comments assuming she's an evil tradwife.

I have seen more fear mongering articles on cannabis use in the last month that I have in the last 10 years.
What's driving this? It's all bullshit.
Weed isn't addictive. It doesn't kill people. Yes there are concerns. No it's not a cure-all.
But just wow....

Daily cannabis use has surged in the U.S., fueled by ultra-potent vapes and concentrates. Doctors warn that while cannabis can help some people, the strongest products can blur the line between therapy and dependence in ways earlier generations never saw.
They relied on marijuana to get through the day. But then days felt impossible without it
As daily cannabis use rises to historic levels in the U.S., some longtime users are finding it harder to quit.

I would like to use less cannabis however it's literally the only pain relief I can access and I live with a lot of chronic pain. No doctor will help me so I'm on my own.
