I said roughly ten percent of the things I could have said about Rob Reiner.
Remembering Rob Reiner, who made movies for people who love them
The movies Reiner directed, from A Few Good Men to The Princess Bride, weren't just good — they were people's favorites, the types of films people come back to again and again.

I remember reading this review. I can see the print in my head. This clip is laugh out loud funny.
I really miss Roger Ebert, too. Like Reiner, he was by all accounts a good person to interact with, and politically walked the talk.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.
The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.
They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.
Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air
Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

1/ This is an important and non-intuitive lesson from my previous life as a risk manager:
Most people don't do highly immoral and highly unethical things, ever. They just don't.
Of the universe of people who *do*, it's actually incredibly rare to find someone who does them as one-offs.

She also worked behind the scenes kill at least one damaging story that someone else was working on because it might be damaging to RFK Jr. At this point you have to assume anything she's written in the past or will write in the future may not be 100% true, and even made up entirely.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
