Rob Reiner was an acclaimed actor & director but he was also a vocal critic of Trump
He warned the American public that they only had a year to save their democracy
That year is almost up
Honour his legacy by fighting fascism. Fight for democracy. Fight for what’s right. Fight against tyranny.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.

btw i don't agree with folks who say posting here doesn't matter because every time i help organize an event, people show up in real life & tell me they heard about it here on bluesky
it absolutely matters if you make a habit of organizing & sharing practical suggestions of stuff to actually do

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Republicans failed to flip any legislative seats this year, losing ground even in New Jersey, where they had high hopes, and failing to gain several districts that Trump carried last year.
Democrats, meanwhile, flipped 25 seats.

In 2025, Democrats Flipped 21 Percent of GOP-Held Legislative Seats
The party secured strong gains reminiscent of 2017, our annual review of state legislative results shows. They won multiple new seats in New Jersey, Virginia, Iowa, and Mississippi.

I would argue that most major video games of the past 30 years had better writing and plot development than many supposedly quality TV shows. In part, because they know the game has to end and everything has to make sense. (Crappy DLCs are sometimes like "oops, we were renewed)
People spend so much time watching average TV shows, instead spending the same amount of time playing average video games which at least have a decency to put in a puzzle/combat section when the plot (if there is even one) gets boring.

Populists like Smith don’t just win by mobilizing their base — they win by convincing everyone else that their base is bigger and more mainstream than it actually is.
👉That’s the core of the populist playbook: make a small, loud group look universal so everyone else stays quiet.

Trump: “Hundreds of people have photos with him, so that's no big deal.”
Dunno, but the display of Trump-labeled gag condoms suggests a degree of familiarity between Epstein and Trump, perhaps a greater degree of familiarity than Epstein had with hundreds of others.
