J.D. Vance was meant to be a guy you see for 3 seconds on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives as he goes "oh yeah, so good" with his dumb BBQ sauce-covered face. But instead he's the Vice President, explaining how you can be for a pure nation while having an Indian wife, because "one less wife for them"

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Look, the GOP has been the party for bad people who make everything worse for my entire adult life, but there has not previously been a simple and straightforward argument under conventional legal principles that several high ranking members of the administration are murderers.
Updated timeline with 3 more strikes, killing 8 more people 👇
Reminder: all of the strikes are extrajudicial killings that #Trump ordered and the military is carrying out.
They aren't war crimes (we're not at war), they are murder and crimes against humanity.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

I say this as someone whose entire job is finding the narrow use cases in which AI is actually useful:
All the fear about AI, all the reluctance to adopt it, is entirely legitimate, and a product of the fact that it's been foisted on the public with no consideration of its negative externalities.

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

Affinity Partners, the private equity firm led by Jared Kushner, is part of Paramount's hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros Discovery.
Paramount is telling WBD shareholders that it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than does Netflix, and Kushner's involvement only strengthens that case
