Want to see the comedy rule of threes NOT work?
I actually don’t understand what’s happening here. How or why could this happen? Same joke three times in a week??

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.
New research finds trans teens have high satisfaction with gender care
The survey published in JAMA Pediatrics showed that trans teens taking puberty blockers or hormones had very low rates of regret.

He's lying. How do we know?
Because they released the Sept 2nd video already!! Just not the part where they illegally killed the survivors. There's nothing "top secret" about the second strike if there wasn't anything top secret about the first one.

I was lucky enough to get to briefly chat with Rob Reiner just once. It was about SPINAL TAP. Even if I never got to have more time with him, I wish he had more time with all of us. Thank you for the movies. On a scale of 1 to 10, you were an 11.

If you want to celebrate the life of Rob Reiner tonight and you haven't seen it, the documentary about his best friend, ALBERT BROOKS: DEFENDING MY LIFE, is as much about Brooks as it is Reiner's love for his lifelong best friend. As fall down hilarious as it is sweet & touching. It's a must see.

Seeing TO BE OR NOT TO BE with Jack Benny’s daughter Joan seated directly behind me and listening to her laugh at her dad’s antics on screen.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Jerry Seinfeld originally was cast in the Dustin Hoffman role, but was fired after the two weeks. Not for his performance, but because he was taller than Tom Cruise.

Most days I am discouraged by how journalism in this country has been systematically dismantled and destroyed. Hopefully the next generation like these students here can build it back better.
Kudos to the Brown University students who are posting continuous live updates, spaced just minutes apart, on the campus shooting. A lot of grace and professionalism under immense pressure.

Lots of interesting what-ifs in this item from Dec. 14, 1946. But perhaps most noteworthy to me is that Ida Lupino, on the verge of leaving Warners studio, effectively cedes a major role to Bette Davis—turning on its head the oft-repeated idea that Lupino only was given Davis rejects at that studio.
