Figured tonight was the best time as any to watch Spinal Tap II. Greatly amusing, with several LOL moments. As with the original, it works on a whole ‘nother level if you know the music biz. RIP Rob Reiner.

So what are we watching tonight - "The Princess Bride" or "Spinal Tap"?

All we need to know about Gaston is that he is especially good at expectorating, jfc
I do not want Gaston backstory, I do not need Gaston backstory, I reject Gaston backstory

he is a fully formed oaf, consuming eggs by the dozen in one of the greatest villain songs ever written, and that is all we need of him

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.
this is such a painful loss. my heart is broken.

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.

If anyone's open to a New Year's resolution suggestion, please try volunteering for a non-profit! It doesn't necessarily mean showing up in person to do physical labor. Just think about a cause that is important to you and consider what skills you have. 🧵

Got to say a quick hello to the once-and-future Guest Cats, which was nice. (It was bc I was trying to help our neighbor figure out why her heat has stopped working, which wasn't so nice.)

When it happens there shouldn't even be a grave for people to piss on. There should just be an unmarked hole in the ground near a toxic waste site so future generations will not know that individual ever existed.

A beautuful thread about Rob Reiner.
I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

I remind people the first four episodes of The Expanse are necessary and slow, and don't give you likeable characters to identify with. Holden is exasperating. Miller is a cynical rent-a-cop.

It gets better on episode five, gets better for the rest of the run, and better still in season two.
I'm taking advantage of The Expanse's 10th anniversary to praise the effectiveness of this universe's introduction. 🔥

First, there are a few explanatory sentences, then the prologue about the protomolecule and the season mystery, and after the title, there is this absolutely fabulous...

It's the last day to sign up for ACA health insurance. I know there's uncertainty, but you can always sign up and cancel; you can't not sign up and decide to later (without a qualifying event).
