Ad I’ve said before, Democrats could really learn a thing or three from Mamdani and his team. Ideas are good! People like policy.

Okay this is a solid LOL. I would cry laughing if he ever did
2026 is the year I switch to "that's so real bestie" as a way to get out of a Jeopardy! contestant interview.

This is correct!!
Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings's holiday album is an all-time banger, holiday season game-changer.
The government doesn’t let this version of White Christmas get a lot of commercial play in retail because it’s simply too good and people would get down too hard in public

they're calling it the most load-bearing "if" of all time
New: WaPo staff are fuming about the new AI personalized pods, noting they have errors like misattributing/inventing quotes, inserting commentary.

WaPo's standards editor privately called the mistakes "frustrating," another editor said "if we were serious we would pull this tool immediately."

I badly want to rewrite that first sentence. "If you ignore 'North,' 'The American President" was next."

Anyway... You're looking at all-timers in like...seven genres or subgenres. He didn't get credit as a great director — zero Oscar nods for directing — because he lacked a "style," but... Man.
Ignore "North" and "American President" as next. That's 8-out-of-9 at the HIGHEST level. To be maybe our greatest rom-com director and throw in a Top 10 coming-of-age movie, an impeccable claustrophobic thriller, perfectly handled Sorkin, THE seminal mockumentary...

All ENDLESSLY rewatchable.
This has to be one of the greatest runs any director has ever experienced.

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.

Rob Reiner was one of the perennials, a force in TV and then film and then politics and Los Angeles life for decades and decades. He was the quintessence of Bleeding Heart Liberal Hollywood in the best sense of every word.

May his memory be a blessing.

For a long time, that was THEE affect that signaled you were a Real Journalist: being savvy and smart enough to know that people with principles were quaint, pitiable little curiosities. And if those people happen to be women, well then they're also just downright childish.
i’ll add that what substantively seems to annoy silver is the existence of people with principles

A good next step would... and I know this might sound a wee bit obvious... be to NOT WATCH. To Bari Weiss, your "hate eyeballs" are indistinguishable from "earnestly curious eyeballs." Like unless you're professionally required to watch... this isn't one to gawk at or mock incredulously. SILENCIO.
Major advertisers appeared to sit out a new CBS News town hall telecast Saturday, moderated by Bari Weiss and featuring an interview with Erika Kirk.

Lack of Madison Avenue support could challenge the viability of the format, which Weiss wants to expand

the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland
Thinking back to how people were "hysterical" for calling trump white supremacist and now he's doing nordic theory on the campaign trail

Good luck convincing people who are buying bigger and bigger SUVs and pickup trucks so tall that they can’t see kids in front of them that what they really want is a station wagon. Imagine the pent-up demand!
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."
