This thread goes to 11
When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

My hot take is that YouTubers have ginned up the Christmas wishes of kids so much that even solidly middle class incomes can only deliver disappointment on Christmas Day.

It's actually good that the Russians are straightforward with this. Nothing is hidden. They want everything. Only fools believe otherwise.
Russia just said the quiet part out loud.

Russia’s ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin, admitted there is no “deal” to be made with Ukraine — only an agreement on its surrender.
That single sentence destroys years of Kremlin talk about “peace” and “negotiations.”👇

Not the most important thing but Castle Fun Park hasn’t fully recovered from the 2021 flood!
Highway 1 has been closed in both directions.

GOD DAMMIT.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.

In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

I very recently commented on this very platform that I don't love the Line, which I don't. But I do rather love this piece.

I'm broadly okay with having seven followers, but this is one of those rare occasions when I wish I had more--specifically, more Americans. Because Americans should read this.

Obviously the Christmas party at Fozziewig’s Rubber Chicken Factory.
What's a fictional holiday party you would love to attend?

My answers:

--the Christmas party from Fanny and Alexander
--the Yule feast in Nicola Griffith's Hild
--the Baileys' "welcome home" party for Harry in It's a Wonderful Life
--the office party in Die Hard; I'm sure nothing will go wrong

Kudos to the person who added “professionally” to the front of “incapacitation” because that’s an interesting attempt to shoehorn in an unrelated meaning and game recognize game.
For those curious about the Conservative Party saying they've removed John Rustad for "professional incapacitation", here's the relevant part of their constitution.

One imagines the board giving legal cover by saying "incapacitation" can involve being "professionally unable to carry out duties".

Sure, Galloway is better than Peterson

I can’t possibly determine whether the MOU is bad or fine from a policy perspective but this seems relevant.
Let's see this analysis.

Armando Iannucci just throws up arms in disbelief.
While Cabinet members praise his energy and fitness, Trump sleeps.

No satire in the history of film and television has ever been this on the mark.
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.
