President currently feuding with a beloved American comedy icon who was murdered 24 hours ago.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

Rob Reiner’s son apparently struggling with substance abuse and being homeless and then murdering his parents is so horrible. It harkens to why my sister and one of my brothers (both in active addiction) are not allowed to know my address or phone number until they accept help & get care for theirs

I often wish I existed in an era where I could focus all my time on “being really good at writing” (or any other single craft) instead of our present reality of “constantly, frantically improving 25 different skills at once to survive”
I do not think this has been good for our mental health

I agree that it’s 100% true that the eyeballs are all on short form video - and man, it’s still really depressing how the necessity of Doing Video nowadays seriously disadvantages people who aren’t conventionally attractive (or who just genuinely can’t stand being on camera)
The one thing I keep thinking about is how much direct to camera stuff rewards physical attractiveness. I mean, that's gotta be part of the reason these wellness influencers are successful, right? And you're competing for eyeballs with them.

As a guy who has to run a media company, the web has wholly balkanized and the places people get their information are YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, then everywhere else. Text-based social networks have been split up into hegemonic forums. Threads has faux scale, X has ragebait, Bluesky has jokes.

there's just something so bleak about the fact that the seemingly apolitical murder of two elderly people by their profoundly ill son becomes a political football before the bodies are even cold

i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Every single reporter there needs to hold the line on this too.
Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.

Just to get ahead of this: Print the post out and bring it to the next Mike Johnson presser. You already know what his move will be. There’s no excuse to not be prepared for it.

There is a simple fact that folks seem to forget: the United States Government belongs to the People of the United States of America.
Donald Trump does not own the United States. No one voted for a dictator or a king, not even the MAGA Republicans.

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

I get why but seeing Americans pre-emptively praising Australia's reaction to the Bondi terror attacks badly underestimates how much politically-driven misdiagnosis will push the response into something that doesn't actually help prevent terror attacks and gun violence
