I know Kash wouldn’t be any help catching the shooter at Brown, but I still find doing a podcast about your love life during a manhunt shocking.

Still in awe of the people of Chicago. Trump and his party spent so much time trying to get them to give him some sliver of fake reason to do the insurrection act, and there was so much discipline from the Chicago area: sustained resistance, while not giving trump what he wanted

We must raise our voices for them. I’ll continue to try and follow Rob’s example as an artist and a humanitarian. I hope you do too.
I don’t know what else to do other than try to cherish every moment we are alive, to be of service to every aspect of our existence and to never give up.

“These were not just popular movies and they weren't just good movies; these were an awful lot of people's favorite movies. They were movies people attached to their personalities like patches on a jacket”
I said roughly ten percent of the things I could have said about Rob Reiner.
Remembering Rob Reiner, who made movies for people who love them
The movies Reiner directed, from A Few Good Men to The Princess Bride, weren't just good — they were people's favorites, the types of films people come back to again and again.

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are.

Rob Reiner is 78. His wife, Michele Singer, is in her 60s.
