I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

So there’s a whole generation that’s never seen When Harry Met Sally and it seems that everybody is going to watch it now— may the Reiners’ memories be for a blessing— and I am fascinated to see how they experience it. I have no perspective.

If anyone's open to a New Year's resolution suggestion, please try volunteering for a non-profit! It doesn't necessarily mean showing up in person to do physical labor. Just think about a cause that is important to you and consider what skills you have. 🧵

Every single reporter there needs to hold the line on this too.
Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.

Just to get ahead of this: Print the post out and bring it to the next Mike Johnson presser. You already know what his move will be. There’s no excuse to not be prepared for it.

The average person lived to be about 50-60 hundreds of years ago. The reason everyone fixates on the average human lifespan being 30 or 40 is because of the infant mortality rate. Half the kids didn't make it past 5; it dragged the lifespan average THAT far down.

What this will do is push teenagers, already more digitally literate than lawmakers, into using increasingly sketchy methods to avoid age checks.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

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.

My “one thing every day” this month is incremental progress towards a real thing, so my funsie time has become silly things. I’m still working on things from design month a little way back, and want eventually to make a game, so I’m just fiddling.

"Verification" is not a safety measure. It is not a security measure. It does nothing to protect anyone. It places every person who uses the internet at significantly more risk than anything that is happening now, for zero benefit.

Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.
