The sad death of Rob Reiner. “Reiner met his wife whilst directing When Harry Met Sally, which he’d made with his friend Nora Ephron after 10 years of being single; inspired by their new romance, Reiner changed the film’s original downbeat ending so that Harry and Sally ended up together.” #r4today

NYC: “I’m born here! Kings County Hospital! Suck my d*ck!”

Trump’s ICE goons grabbing brown and black people. Bounty hunters. Racial profiling is all they do.

Today, in the Sunday print NYT, we published an investigative look at Harold Hamm, the 13th child of Oklahoma sharecroppers who started an oil company named Continental, which turned him into a billionaire, powerbroker and friend of Donald J. Trump. You may never have heard of Hamm. But you should

Rob Reiner was the consummate storyteller. Over and over, he revealed us to ourselves: what it is to be young and have friends, to fall in love, to feel misery and vengeance, to feel alive. And the laughs. So many laughs. The loss of Rob Reiner is... inconceivable.

Today, on what should have been a day of celebration, the Jewish community is instead mourning once again after a horrific attack at Bondi Beach, Australia, where two men opened fire and killed at least 12 people in a targeted terror attack against Jews celebrating Hanukkah.

Antisemitism is evil.

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.

Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

MK and I cherish the time that we got to spend with Rob and Michele Reiner — we were devastated to learn of their passing.

Titans of the industry in every sense, the Reiners' legacy is secured through works of art that impacted generations.

May their memories be a blessing.

I am absolutely gutted about Rob Reiner. Like John Lennon level of gutted. Rob was my entire waking life. I learned about civil rights when he was Meathead, I leaned into Spinal Tap as an anthem. Stand By Me was exactly like my summer as a 12 year old. Princess Bride was the most quotable film

I'm so encouraged watching people stand up to the evil that 47, this regime & the robber barons are inflicting. It's happening a lot sooner and stronger than I would have ever hoped for. Courage is contagious. However, tonight, I'm just overcome by shock and sadness about Rob Reiner and his wife. 😔

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.
