Not sure I understand why the Trump administration cares about Christians in Nigeria and not Christians in Ukraine

This kind of breezes by the fact that she's a beloved, internationally acclaimed film director... which is fine, but the guy has strong roots...
In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

That’s pretty much what he’s doing already while Stephen Miller runs the country.

good on you for stopping voting, it's all so stupid... and yes, I did it for years...
Since I stopped being part of any voting body, I have stopped receiving screeners and swag from any film companies, but my husband went to Pandora tonight and on the way out someone handed him these, and now they are mine (he has not seen the movie yet)

One of the things I love best about Reiner is he always presented romantic love as something that required effort. Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride. Love takes time, love takes care, love doesn’t solve all your problems but it can make your problems bearable.

No one will mourn him. Schools, ships and prizes won't be named in his honor. His name will be equivalent to a black mark, an insult. History will look back in horror. And the thing is, he knows all this. He is wholly unloved.
I don't even have to say his name, everybody knows.

Just looked at Slate's home page: No Rob Reiner, no Brown shooting, no Australian shooting...

Whatever spin you may hear from politicians, there are only two actual positions on healthcare. “Universal healthcare that covers everybody,” or “we must protect the huge industry of insurance middlemen making money off of it.”
