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.

It is alarming that things are so bad that Rand Paul keeps saying things that make sense.
Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

As horrible as social media is: it worked for me. I worry as I see efforts to take it away from anyone.
Message boards on Prodigy, AOL and Compuserve expanded my world at an early age.
By high school AIM, ICQ, and IRC were staples among my social circle.
Livejournal, Friendster, MySpace, etc.

Social Media Is a Literal Lifeline for Many Kids. Don't Ban Them From Using It
US politicians want to replicate Australia's draconian law prohibiting children under 16 from using social media. But experts say such bans will actually make kids 'significantly less safe online.'

In a blur of a week: suddenly remembered that I got hit by a Tesla on Tuesday in Seattle. Hit my hand, less than an inch from my leg. Unsure if it was the car or human that stopped it, but something I thought Teslas couldn’t do that easily.

I have no way to know one way or another but I strongly suspect that the Liam Neeson thing is a "he will, Ron Burgundy-like, read any voiceover that you put in front of him as long as the check clears" situation rather than a "he is secretly an anti-vaxxer activist" situation.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵
