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.

What awful news about Rob Reiner. I grew up watching his quiet genius. This is really sad.

At the dance this woman in a tight sequin dress pulled her chair up close to the man. He looked at her then pointed at me and shouted “wife”. We’re not married yet but it did the trick and she has disappeared 💀

I think I put my bandeau bra on upside down and I never thought it’d be an issue but if your tits are over 40, it’s a problem

Learned about micro saas this morning and want to say that the world is made up of nonsense and I think I’d rather grow carrots and raise chickens

My copy of Robin Mitchell’s Venus Noire finally arrived today and I’m stoked! Her interview on Sarah Bartmaan on Betwixt is probably my favourite episode. It’s a gift to be able to read Black womens’ experience and history by Black women. I paid a lot of money to read white men in school.

Quentin Tarantino is a weird little man and we shouldn’t listen to him, we should only watch his movies. Fiona Apple quit cocaine because of him. Absolutely separate the art from the artist and pretend the artist doesn’t exist, it’s ok.

The cat has a fountain that constantly filters 2L of water but her favourite part of the day is making someone stand on the porch while she drinks dirty leaf water from a puddle under the maple tree

Ok I’ve been confused about the Dave Grohl cool-washing bc when it started, I could’ve swore he was a dick. Anyway this is a good thread
I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl.
Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.
