Soleil hints at this in the piece, but we were on the verge of bringing Alice’s Teen Vogue column to COYOTE after its cancellation. Our crew loved and admired her and her work more than I could begin to tell you. I still can’t believe she’s gone.
It's sort of impossible to really capture what Alice Wong meant to so many people (myself included) but @soleilho.com wrote something beautiful, and we gathered up a few touching memories from other folks that speak to what a brilliant star she was. Love you forever, Alice.

Rob Reiner had one of the most wide-ranging audiences of any American filmmaker. People rewatch his films with nostalgia and joy. They quote them with parents and pass them down to children.

I remember South Park making fun of him for it...the whole "he can't judge other people because he's fat." That always annoyed me. Thirty years later, it was pretty obvious who was right and who were the assholes.
When I lived in LA 97-99 (and you may recall this @davidjroth.bsky.social), Rob Reiner led the smoking ban in bars. I couldn’t believe bars could exist without cigs. And I don’t even smoke.
He kickstarted all of it. I still go to bars. I never have to Febreez my clothes.
So, also that.

I’m rarely in the camp of mandating things when it comes to housing. But in a country where people crave single-family homes, let’s build plexes and townhomes with key desired single-family features: privacy (ie noise barriers) and generous outdoor spaces
4-plex going up a few blocks from me. Gonna see about getting a showing when it's done. If we can see 2 adjacent units at the same time I'll bring a lil Bluetooth speaker to test the acoustic performance between units.
There aren't offset studs between units, so I figure it will perform poorly.

This is absolutely correct. Almost every artist I know is DROWNING in ideas. The issue is in executing the ideas.
& this nonsense that whomever has “the most ideas the fastest” is “the most creative” is ridic. There’s ppl with 1,000 ideas for paintings yet will never paint The Starry Night. An idea and $2.90 will get you a ride on the subway in NYC.
Artistry isn’t solely manufacturing ideas. It’s the process.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

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.

Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.
