I think it's kind of beautiful that this was Rob Reiner's final line on television

“On behalf of Director Park Chan-wook's new film, we are cordially inviting all Fortune 500 CEOs to a special screening of NO OTHER CHOICE.

This is truly a film that speaks to our gracious executive leaders and the culture they have cultivated.”

Beast mode shit.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

While we are distraught as well at the loss of our friend, for the sake of accuracy we are hesitant to comment at this time and advise others to keep their anger in check, secure in the knowledge that Venezuela is going to pay for this.

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.

I’ve done a great job of minimizing my purchases at Target since January. As a Minnesotan who has shopped there since birth, it’s hard to completely stop given its convenience, but I’m down ~97%.
The FB comments did not disappoint.

“Who do you think coined “Tar-zhay?”

Everyone up and down the threads going “Bring back DEI & Pride.” You know what you have to do, you just don’t want to.

OH HELL YES it’s time for the new Bitty Kitty Brigade calendar!

Was planning to get new cats from them this year until Malört and Rolette showed up via the Kitten Distribution System™️, so we can support them anyway.

Good history of the Como-Harriet streetcar line here: www.startribune.com/holly-trolle...
What route did the Lake Harriet ‘Holly Trolley’ travel in the streetcar era?
The historic car runs on a restored segment of the once-bustling Como-Harriet line.

This is the best Christmas movie you've never heard of. Cargill found it in 2020 and told all his friends about it, and we've been watching it every Christmas ever since.
BEYOND TOMORROW (aka BEYOND CHRISTMAS) 1940. Three wealthy, lonely, and kindly old men befriend two young people in NYC on Christmas Eve. After becoming fast friends, the three men die in a plane crash and use their last remaining time on Earth trying to help their new friends. Fucking ADORABLE.

One way to support the community at this uncertain time is to continue to support the businesses and nonprofits that are integral to the fabric of our community and neighborhoods.

Show up to support the 100+ Somali and East African-owned small businesses!
