I’m shocked. My wife suggested early on Sunday we watch Spinal Tap II: The End Continues - which we did after dinner. She went to bed and I continued watching the original. I woke up this morning to this terrible news about the Reiners. 💔 www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”
He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”
