My quote of the day If you have tapped into something that is real for you, chances are you are going to tap into something that is real for someone else. Rob Reiner

For millions of us, this was the first time we ever saw Rob Reiner. …When he became “Meathead” on “All in the Family.” He was brilliant from Day One.

Sorry guys, I know I’ve been quiet this week, but I’ve been recovering from shaking too many hands

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Christmas night: "But Santa, you've hardly touched your Zardoz cookies."

It's wild to see a company known to be so litigious, so possessive of its property it would go after, like, daycares for painting their characters on their walls just hand over the keys to the kingdom to the slop machines that seem to instinctively groom children and drive teens to suicide.

The Presidency was never intended to be a safe haven for criminals.

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

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking." It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

Only had 15 years and four different Republican House speakers since ACA was passed.

Once again, the ads in the print edition of @theonion.com are worth the price alone

Why are we having popularity contests for the people we hire to vote whether or not we have affordable healthcare.

“I brought this horrid creature into the world, and now I must take him out!” Winfrey said

nose down ass up that's the way we cyberstuck

How much has Dozy Don personally profited from presidential pardons

The refusal of a grand jury to indict Letitia James on mortgage fraud creates a fascinating set up for a similar allegation again Fed Gov Lisa Cook. Imagine if SCOTUS, which will hear the case jan 21, says Trump had the right to fire cook but a grand jury wouldn’t even indict on the crime?

The top-10 carmakers by market cap make up 75% of global passenger car sales. Tesla makes up less than 2%. The Tesla bubble will be widely documented in history books.

New on MS NOW: Statement from New York AG Letitia James:   "As I have said from the start, the charges against me are baseless. It is time for this unchecked weaponization of our justice system to stop."

Letitia James remains undefeated.

*stares in Adelita Grijalva*

Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

"It gives the government tools to pick and choose who they want to punish." Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolokonnikova explains how government targeting of marginalized people builds the tools to persecute anyone the government decides is a problem.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

Trump admin drug interdiction policy: Some we murder. Some we let go home. Some we pardon.

Trump’s stated justification for every single one of his despicable pardons of multiple drug traffickers, wealthy fraudsters, people who beat up cops, cronies, violent criminals, and politically connected Republicans is always the same: “I heard they were treated very unfairly.”

The phrase "hit recording artist" is never bandied about with more frivolity than at the Macy's Parade

The death of two national guardsmen is a horrific tragedy. It is also an orchestrated tragedy by a president hellbent on creating a tinder box environment across the country.

sister told me to set up a storygraph account

Democracy dies in dampness

1000 FBI agents worked on this. Every time I think about it, I'm reminded of this quote. It gives me hope. "Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead" - Benjamin Franklin

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

Some say that Lindsey Halligan is a wildly incompetent lawyer. Others say she gets her cases resolved incredibly quickly.

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

Exactly. They want free taxpayer money to fund their ventures. Then they want to pay no taxes on their profits. Then if it fails the taxpayer will have to bail them out. Complete psychotic sociopaths…

"Too big to fail" is a euphemism for "privatize the gains, socialize the losses" approach to billionairing

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

You can fill your news with rizzed up octogenarians like Dersh, but if the ratings aren't there to sling GLP-1s and keep the station groups happy, the experiment will end quickly.

How could she make her best version of CBS sound more irrelevant and uncharismatic

Campbell's soup VP caught on tape trashing his own brand. Oof. www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...

It seems likely that DOGE committed more fraud than it found 😂

“[Polls show that] Trump is really, really unpopular. There’s long been a tendency to ascribe to Trump something akin to magical political powers, but there’s been a palpable shift in the discourse. Democrats should talk up Trump’s weaknesses a lot more and push the media to tell this story more.”

MAGA dimwit Pete Hegseth thinks he's pleasing the Audience of One by "fighting back" but all he's doing is drawing more attention to the question of whether Trump is issuing illegal orders, which was the whole point of the Dem video in the first place.

In every way, Trump demands fealty to himself—and to his whims, wholly untethered to law—over fealty to federal officials’ oaths of office. So again: Are you effing kidding me? What Dems did here was patriotic. They forced the debate we need over Trump's lawlessness. newrepublic.com/article/2035...
