Very disappointed by Pluribus. Two episodes in and there has only been one bus, and it was only on screen for a few seconds.

The Irish Nazi Party used to be run by a fella who lived with his mum in a cottage in Ringsend. In those days, no one said you lived in an "echo chamber" if you didn't go around to listen to him.
"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"

I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

Somehow @sepinwall.bsky.social published a beautiful eulogy for Rob Reiner overnight. I woke up saddened by the news of his passing, and this piece—celebrating his life and work—was exactly what I needed to read.

Myanmar’s military bombed a hospital in a rebel-held area, killing 34 people and injuring dozens more. It was the 67th attack on a health care facility in Myanmar this year, according to the W.H.O.

I was in Myanmar in 2015, just as identity cards were taken from Rohingya to keep them from voting. It was part of a decades-long process of redefining citizenship that ate away at their rights more every year. When governments start doing this, they can move the goalposts anytime they want to.
A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

The man who tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters is a Muslim fruit store owner named Ahmed Al Ahmed. He risked his life to end the attack on Jews celebrating Hanukkah on the beach. May the Most High protect and heal him and bless him abundantly for his righteousness.

Rob Reiner was one of the perennials, a force in TV and then film and then politics and Los Angeles life for decades and decades. He was the quintessence of Bleeding Heart Liberal Hollywood in the best sense of every word.

May his memory be a blessing.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.

Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

By the time the movie was over, we were all crying and quoting it to each other. I've seen it many times since, and humbly submit that it is the very stuff movie magic is made of. Rob Reiner knew things. The cinema and world are better places for his being in them.

Once upon a time a cascading series of disasters led to me being forced to attend my cousin's 10th or 11th birthday, alone with a dozen girls in peak "eww boys" era who were insisting on watching something called "The Princess Bride," which if I'd known what MKUltra was at time, I would have blamed.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.
