Statement from the Lear Family on the death of Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner. Rob Reiner described Norman Lear as his second father.

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

Zelensky *cannot* withdraw his troops and cede territory. His army won't do it. The public won't accept it.

I met Rob Reiner when we did Bill Maher’s show together. He was a good hearted man who fought his whole life for progressive values. I’m so so sad😢 www.latimes.com/california/s...

and just realized my colleague @betseystevenson.bsky.social is on here: give her a follow!

anyway I’m gonna go cry for a bit

Learned recently that Reiner got authentic laughs from Christopher Guest and Michael McKean, and decided to use the take anyway.

I’m having a hard time comprehending the news about Rob Reiner. All I can articulate right now is how much I admired him, how much I enjoyed his work, and how thoroughly shocked I am hearing about what happened. My favorite superpower in any human is the art of storytelling. He was a master.

[NOTE: For those of you who just got to know me on Bluesky or through Law Dork (as it exists today), the marriage cases are a big part of why I'm here. I covered Prop 8, DOMA, the Obama admin, the post-Windsor/Hollingsworth wave of cases and decisions, and all that happened at the Supreme Court.]

Here's my report from the U.S. Supreme Court on the morning of the Prop 8 arguments. Rob Reiner and Michelle Singer were among the members of the AFER team first in line. www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chri...

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Nobody needs to be "I'm going to rent Venice for my wedding" rich.

wow this is almost, like, a platform someone could successfully run on

I decided to go to bed early tonight. Just woke up about ten minutes ago. I wish I had gone right back to sleep instead of looking at my phone. I don't even know what to say. Heartbroken doesn't begin to cover it.

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight. For Rob Reiner, R.I.P. See you around. youtu.be/_UnQOfPwZfs

Azure sucks Windows sucks Copilot sucks Microsoft sucks Spot the trend yet?

Rob Reiner is a guy you'd fly flags at half mast for.

Rob Reiner used his fame to advocate for progressive causes. 'Just a really special man. A terrible day'

TMZ reporting Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead with wounds consistent with a knife

oh my god

In CA in the 60s when I was in school, parents couldn’t yank kids out of school without a lot of paperwork and state oversight—at least that’s what I understood at the time. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

“The LA Fire Department said a man and a woman were found deceased inside, approximately 78 and 68 years old.”

I’ve gotten a few replies like this today and I just want to point out 1. None of them have come from Palestinians 2. Violent antisemitism predates the existence of a Zionist movement, which began in Europe in an colonialist environment 3. These comments themselves conflate Judaism with Zionism

“We were not looking out for what was in the best interest of technology providers., We were looking out for what’s in the best interest of Mississippians and our children, the people that we served, that we are guarded with the duty of protecting,” said Rep. Fabian Nelson, D-Byram.

Zelenskyy and the Europeans have started their meeting with the US Carve Up Ukraine For Cash team of Witkoff and Kushner in Berlin.

A reminder that the Russian Orthodox Church is supported by Putin's government... Yeah. There's a reason for that, and it's got nothing to do with God.

To my friends across the aisle who control the House—you have FIVE DAYS to get the ACA extension done. This is it—before millions face the reality of outrageous price hikes to their insurance. Stop messing around and get it done! American lives are on the line.

But, guess what? This House GOP plan doesn’t include a single policy to save health insurance for millions of Americans that will face a cliff on January 1st. Not one.

I have someone in Sydney who would be celebrating Chanukah and I am just sitting and waiting for news. Day 2. Same waiting. Different shooting. Day 2. It’s fucking Day 2 of the same waiting. But for a different shooting!!!!!!!!

really weird -- Margaret Brennen presses Bill Cassidy on why the White House isn't doing more to crack down on mifepristone and what he's doing to encourage them to do it

This is appalling. Again, Trump and ICE have had the option to deport Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica for weeks and weeks. They won't explain why they refuse to do this. But we know why: Because they've decided it isn't dehumanizing or cruel enough. newrepublic.com/article/2043...

A mass shooting at my alma mater Brown University hit hard, proving no community is safe from senseless violence in a land with more guns than people Trump added insult to injury by claiming there is "nothing you can do." We can do a lot about guns My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/brow...

No, Jews around the world don't suffer because of the actions of the government of Israel. Jews around the world suffer because antisemites use the actions of the government of Israel to justify attacks on Jews. And if you make the same association, you're also an antisemite.

This. Jews are no more to blame for the actions of Israel than Muslims are to blame for the actions of ISIS. Collective blame is bigotry.

Y'all I grew up in SC and spent most of my adult life there. I would have said this was impossible. This is so amazing that I can't even explain it.
