I’m having a hard time comprehending the news about Rob Reiner. All I can articulate right now is how much I admired him, how much I enjoyed his work, and how thoroughly shocked I am hearing about what happened. My favorite superpower in any human is the art of storytelling. He was a master.

I truly feel for everyone dealing with the Brown investigation. We have capable and transparent police and investigators in Rhode Island who are clearly working their asses off to get answers. They have to deal with a clown show of an FBI.

God bless this man! He is truly a hero.
A heroic moment in this anti-semitic tragedy.
The hero here is a 43 yo Lebanese immigrant and fruit stand owner named
Ahmed Al Ahmed who was shot twice in the arm (apparently bt the other gunman) after wrestling the gun away.
He will be fine according to a relative.

It was an attempt to regulate healthcare and stop it from becoming the commodity is has become.
Republicans have slowly destroyed it. This "same" Republican party tried to repeal it 53 times in Trump's first term.
THEY DON'T CARE. And now only because we will VOTE THEM OUT, they act like it.

FWIW, yesterday I learned there is a new Spinal Tap from 2025 and it's now available on HBO.
It's adding to my whole surreal sadness now that I just learned about and enjoyed this movie yesterday.
If you liked Spinal Tap, you will get a kick out them 40 years later. And the new drummer rocks!😉

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

My heart is heavy tonight hearing the news about our friend and legend Rob Reiner and his wife. I can’t begin to imagine what their family is going through right now. Rob has brought so much to our culture and our conversations with his work, his voice, his humanity matter, and so much more.
