The power combo for every right-wing populist party is “we’ll kick out the immigrants, and spend the money we save on YOU.”
Republicans are too anti-welfare state to go there. So their version is “your house will be cheaper when the migrants are gone, also here’s a massive healthcare bill.”

I will never understand how so many people argue “the government can’t effectively provide healthcare” when it’s one of the few things we know, for a fact, it can do, because it already does this. It’s like claiming the government can’t deliver mail. Buddy sit down you’re not gonna believe this

I'm old enough to remember Paul Wellstone's death, and how Republicans led the dumbest pundit dickheads in a round of schoolmarm scolding after liberals celebrated Paul's life in partisan terms. All I can say is: Get over it. This is how we should pay respects to one of our own: Partisan as fuck.

Bluesky *does* reign supreme, on a per capita basis at least, for people who love to mistake descriptive statements for normative ones and to be certain sure you know that they're angry.
okay somehow this totally banal observation about the relative scale and influence of social media platforms has made some people extremely mad
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

I’m not even going to publish a copy of Trumps comments about Reiner and his wife. But occasionally he reminds me that he is simply one of the worst, most degenerate individuals who has ever existed in American public life. Hard to think of any more vicious, vile and sociopathic.

Listening my younger coworkers talk about how Jess's dad on New Girl died. One of them thinks maybe he was also a director, and another thought he was on another TV show, which turned out to be The Bear.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

Fiddler on the roof, but with ICE agents playing the part of Cossacks. I know people think of Fiddler as a heartwarming story about a funny man doing Ya-ba-dibba-dibbas, but it's literally about pogroms like this
Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered.

Rob had to pick another project, even though he had his heart set on SHAWSHANK. He went with an adaptation of a book by his old friend Alan Zweibel. Yes, that's right. He made NORTH instead of SHAWSHANK.

Roomba maker iRobot is filing for bankruptcy after being steamrolled by cheap Chinese rivals. The 2023 acquisition attempt by Amazon got blocked by regulators because Amazon might favor iRobot while selling vacuums on its marketplace.
So instead we get… bankruptcy. Congrats? 🤦🏾♂️

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Don't know where to begin in paying proper tribute to Rob Reiner. When I was a teen in the '80s, getting into movies, he was one of my first favorite directors. And as someone who loves vintage TV, it's always been a delight to see him pop up in random '60s episodes as Hollywood's resident hippie.
