This is one of the four online screenings I bought tickets to for Sundance 2026.
Proud to be an executive producer on 'American Doctor', the film about 3 US doctors who volunteered in Gaza, which premiered at Sundance. I knew early on that their stories needed to be told and I'm delighted Zeteo could help bring those stories to the screen.

This is what I get for being a Liverpool fan who was pretty neutral on TAA leaving for Real Madrid on a free.

Rob Reiner, who directed such beloved Hollywood classics as 'This Is Spinal Tap,' 'Stand by Me' and 'When Harry Met Sally' after starring in the trailblazing sitcom 'All in the Family,' died Sunday along with his wife, Michele, in their Brentwood home. bit.ly/48UWXSi

Sigh.
Hell of a record-breaking season in a lot of ways though, and feels far better of a loss than the semifinal last year by a long shot.

Damn, don’t go to /r/minnesotaunited and say that you’re indifferent to cautiously optimistic about the MLS schedule change, it’s a guaranteed downvote and easy way to be told you’re a moron.

Legit helps wrap my head around it (I’m a visual learner)
The change only means the potential for a couple regular season games in late November and early December. It’s not that dramatic.
