Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

This report is harrowing.
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

To begin with today, happy 117th anniversary to this entirely reasonable cat
Article from Des Moines Register 27 November 1908: NO BEER; CAT LEAVES TOWN Feline Deserts Connecticut Village That Went "Dry." WINSTED, Conn., Nov. 28. Fannie, a cat owned by Barreuther Bros., had liking for lager beer. When the town recently voted "dry" her owners went out of business and Fannie missed her drink. For some days she went to her saucer and cried for beer, but as none was forthcoming she disappeared. It is suspected she has gone to the nearest license town.
