Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

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.

no journalist should be posting there anymore. I understand they need to collect information wherever it happens to be
You can’t “fix” X, The Everything App by going back and posting there because the owner has this thumb on the scale of the algorithm to promote the worst ideas and people. It’s not a viable solution, you have to let it go.

First Xcountry ski of the year. I still feel like an awkward stumbling fawn with only the occasional moments of grace.

But I missed all of last year (knee injury) so I need my ski legs back. Better than 0. Begin again.

Rosy cheeks for the effort. #Ottawa #OttawaRiver

The hero who disarmed one of the terrorists in Sydney turned out to be 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed — a fruit shop owner and father of two.

He was shot twice and is currently in hospital. He is scheduled to undergo surgery.

He had no experience with weapons of any kind.

He's done. How can he survive three MP departures since the election where he lost his own seat after a 15-point lead? And as the Prime Minister said, the year isn't over yet.
Can’t change, won’t change
ROSIE: You've now lost two MPs to the Liberal Party... Is this a problem of your leadership?

POILIEVRE: No, it's a problem of Mark Carney's leadership that after Canadians clearly rejected a costly Liberal majority... he is trying to manipulate his way through backroom deals.

The less often spoken of reality of Trump's extremist anti-immigration policy -- which his NSS report made clear is not just for the US but for their 'allies' -- is that in the OECD countries where the population is ageing precipitously, population growth is still essential for robust economies.

NATO’s Rutte says Europe must prepare for ‘scale of war our grandparents’ endured
If Putin is “prepared to sacrifice ordinary Russians in this way, what is he prepared to do to us?” the NATO chief said.

I can't even keep track of all the email addresses I use now (work, business, school, old ones, Microsoft ones, Google ones etc.)
It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Amazing. Will it actually happen? I've been hearing about "high speed rail" in Canada for most of my adult life so I'll believe it when I see it.

But this is actual progress.
