O give me a home,
Where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
'Cause what can an antelope say?

I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

Remember for a hot second when The National Enquirer tried doing legit stories and was actual news?

Music has the power to move us, to take us to a place where we may not have known we needed to go. With that in mind, I present my favorite version of “O Holy Night” performed by Trombone Shorty. I hope it moves you as it does me all these years later.

It amazes me what talent people have. To that point, please enjoy these silent monks, singing “Hallelujah.”

This preview quote pretty much sums up my feelings.
“It makes me sick to feel relief that it was the Reiner’s son, Nick, whom the police arrested. As disgusting as it is, I’m relieved that the perpetrator appears to have had no greater motivation than mental illness and a monstrous drug addiction.” michaelianblack.substack.com/p/inconceiva...

I wasn’t even 10 when Ronald Reagan got shot in 1981.

He also directed "8 The Play" taking actual transcripts from the court case and making an amazing play with a few friends (George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Martin Sheen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jane Lynch, and Kevin Bacon just to start)

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.

Good things I have today off. I just found out my car was sold in Arizona in May. You know, the car I bought in 2023 and is sitting out in the driveway. Need the DMV to figure out what chaos happened and correct it so I can get my annual registration complete.

Edge Workspaces was introduced as a collaborative space where you work alongside your team on a set of tabs. Microsoft even put out a video explaining how you "Browse together" using this.

Anyway, the collaboration and sharing are being killed starting in mid-February 2026 per MC1192661.
