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.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.
It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

There was a beautiful red oak in a park near me. I took photos of it for “thick trunk Thursday” on twitter. I don’t know if I ever posted them.
One of the many storms knocked it over, I just saw it today.
I mourn this tree. I mourn that children were attacked at their school.

This is a great moment for all of us to give our local officials hell about their incredibly dangerous reliance on Facebook and Twitter/X for disaster communication in the year 2025.
There is no excuse for referring people to private data-thieving platforms that require a log-in just to view posts.

I wonder if a public calling out by citizens about those being the go-to announcement sites would help at all. I am truly afraid that it will take huge emergencies and disasters like the one in Texas to wake people up.

There was a police killing of an unarmed drunk man in Vegas a few yrs back, where the cops yelled contradictory things at the man then shoot him for “not complying.”

So let me get this straight, when I say there's no ethical way to use GenAI, it's because I'm wrong and shortsighted and hate technology, but when this guy says there's no ethical way to use GenAI, it's because he's right and super forward thinking and ahead of the game?

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.
They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."
