I wonder if anyone is going to be fired for saying anything about Rob Reiner that falls short of saintly praise.

Our teacher showed us this film in 1984 and it’s still living rent free in my head.

We kept filling up Rusty’s bowl for the #possums. They were his friends, too.

This was so predictable and so avoidable. The Legislature voted to allow high-speed car chases because they thought that would be bad-ass. A month later, four people are dead from an unnecessary car chase.

My fellow aging GenXers, treat yourself to the “WNUF Halloween Special” if you can find it. A love letter to Halloween in the 80s.

He was just a cat, but he was my friend, my companion during good times and bad, always up to join me for a cigar and purr louder than I thought a cat should be able to. I’m so grateful he came to spend his last three-and-a-half years with us, but I miss him so much.

A pardon for someone adjacent to child trafficking. Interesting, right? It’s almost as if he’s working up to something.

I've discovered a new #MandelaEffect. I am 100% positive that "Jealous" by #GeneLovesJezebel was a hit song, yet I seem unable to find anyone else who remembers it.

I wonder if the finger-waggers are, now, reflecting on their *own* intent versus their *own* impact.

Advice to #universities deciding whether to lose federal funding by not signing the #Compact or lose state funding by signing it:

Whenever you aren't sure what to do, ignore the consequences and do what you know is right.
