YES!!! Perfectly said. Do yourself a favor, watch and listen.

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

FIFA World Cup fan fests have always been free, but not for 2026. Yet another way this World Cup is set up to exploit football fans.

If we have to use AI to detect whether a picture is AI, we are 100% in the bad place and the worst timeline.

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

Just a friendly reminder to surround yourself with the kind of people who support their local library, theatre, bakery, bookstore, and café.

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.

As a director, Rob Reiner released these five movies all in a row

1986 Stand by Me
1987 The Princess Bride
1989 When Harry Met Sally…
1990 Misery
1992 A Few Good Men

All remarkable and vastly different films, showing extraordinary range and talent

Rob Reiner stood up to the White, Racist, Narcossitic, Evangelical, Misogynistic, Uneducated, Insecure, Neanderthal Men in America. Rob championed our true Democracy, and fair US elections. He taught us about love, kindness, and brilliantly wrote our human connections. Were gonna grieve deeply Rob.

Choosing to focus, on hearing the news of Rob Reiner's passing, to remember this moment where he was so overcome with joy and laughter that he - the director of the movie - was one of many people banished from the set in order to finish filming.
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.

Hugs to anyone out there who is missing a loved one, a friend or relative during the holidays. I see you, I feel you, I am missing people too. Some days are easier, and some are really fucking difficult. Be good to yourself and know that you are not alone.
