Rob Reiner was a force for good.

He was an incredible artist that made so many people laugh and cry.

Most importantly, he was kind in a time where kind men are in short supply.

He will be greatly missed.

The American state media went from attacking President Biden’s age endlessly and never once acknowledging the countless good things he was trying to do to now trying to somehow normalize the orange felon mocking/condoning someone’s murder. It’s grotesque.

I have one black cat who is overweight and sleeps on my feet and keeps them warm all night. One orange cat who cleans himself for 20 hours a day, and one eternal kitten who treats every interaction like a dice roll. You have no way of knowing what to expect.

Those are the three kinds of cats.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

These poor STARVÈD babies suffering from the lack of second breakfast while mother viciously ignores them to play on her phone. A cruel, cruel mother indeed to need such reminding as her babies WASTE AWAY. 🤣

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries.

A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."
I’m sorry but why is the head of cbs news on tv herself

This is why we rely on immune thresholds — yet again it’s community care. We all get vaccinated not just to protect ourselves but to protect the vulnerable around us.

But of course COVID taught us that community health is not a priority in this country.

Regulations are not the enemy of innovation. In many cases they encourage it.

Regulations are the enemy of reckless greed.

Unregulated AI will have a catastrophic effect on the working class.
Trump has signed an Executive Order attempting to ban states and localities from regulating AI.

It comes after Big Tech announced a $100 million lobbying blitz.

Always follow the money. https://youtu.be/imtkNL4v2ks?si=LHG-GWoIO87c1Tyi

Bondi Beach suggestion:

Now the 168-hour rule.
There's a rule of thumb I've used known as the 48-hour rule that says you should never trust the information that comes out in the first 48 hours of a breaking news event, because there's so much uncertainty. The problem is that bad actors have figured out how to weaponize that space of uncertainty

There are folks on here, right now, debating whether an unarmed man who risked his life to disarm a shooter at Bondi Beach, handled things correctly.

If you ever catch yourself debating if someone risking their life to stop a terrorist attack is doing it right? Simply perish. You've added nothing.

To be clear, every time CNN propagandist Scott Jennings gets angry at others in defense of the orange felon’s obvious close disgusting friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, he’s basically admitting he’s a child rapist apologist. What an immoral asshat.

Kristi Noem claimed a few months ago that they arrested the girlfriend of the leader of Antifa and that was going to lead to the prosecution of the entire “organization.” What happened with that? Any updates?
