If the New York Times was waiting for a news hook to write a long-overdue story about how Trump is mentally unfit to be president, Trump has provided one today with his post saying Rob Reiner got murdered because he was mean to Trump.

I would like to wish everyone in Product Strategy at Meta a mediocre Christmas, full of meh and indifference. The enshittification of Facebook is about 100% now. I just need to work out where to relocate a 25k community from that hellhole without losing too many folk.

2025 is not so much going out with a bang as opening it's bowels on us and sending us out like that.

I fucking love this. "Rob told Billy to forget the lines and what followed was a 30 hour of Medieval Yiddish stand up" Forget Ancient Rome, if I get a time machine then this is where I am going.
TIL nearly all of the "Miracle Max" scene from Princess Bride was improvised by Billy Crystal, and it took three ten hour days to shoot, because they couldn't get through his improv without everyone (cast and crew) laughing so hard it ruined the audio.
Mandy Patinkin bruised a rib holding it in.

I absolutely love Australia. Big shooting incident? Get rid of the guns. As it should be.
Bondi: National cabinet has agreed to look at gun control options in Australia including potential changes to:
- licensing
- limiting the number of guns able to be held by one person
- further restrictions to guns permitted
- limiting firearms licenses to Australian citizens

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Columbo is included in Prine and I’m hooked again. Watching it with the 8 yr old who is blown away that everyone smokes. Weird how that leaps out over the fashion, cars or the fact everyone who is supposed to be 35 looks 105. Peter Falk is 40 in this photo and he looks like my dad. I’m 48 😂

Using a very rough and fairly conservative calculation, my NL town of 160k people, we have around 2000 refugees living here. Most of them on a barge like the Bibby Stockholm. I'm getting so tired of seeing people like this when the rest of Europe is taking their fair share plus the UK's share.

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

What still amazes me is that people don't think this regime will leave power. What do those ICE agents think will happen when someone sane and with a sense of justice gets into the White House? That they can just go back to normal life with no consequences? I think not.
ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”
