Rob Reiner made THE PRINCESS BRIDE. He made WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. He made MISERY, SPINAL TAP, and countless other classics. Rob gave us a great gift, and his and his wife's senseless murders are a devastating loss.

‘I heard 40, 50 shots’: Witnesses fled Bondi Beach as gunmen targeted Jewish event

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.

In honor of Christmas season now beginning in October, I'd like to submit that Passover season begin in January. Will be leaving plastic frogs everywhere until everyone takes the hint and quarantines Mariah Carey to December and ONLY December

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Mmm squishy meaty practical effects

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy. ...I mean. Yes! Unironically!

Doing research for future projects and hang on... is that... my boy? Harry Rée cameo??

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Can't believe this is a question my doctor's office has to ask separately from contact with someone who's sick. #ThanksTrump

89 years ago today Mosley attempted to march his blackshirts through the East End of London. The Jewish press counselled calm. East End Jews - backed primarily by Irish & Communists - beat them back with fists, pipes, clubs. Old women poured hot water on them from above.

Two. Two. They mounted a helicopter assault and destroyed an entire apartment building and zip tied all of its residents to arrest two guys for maybe being in a gang.

A reminder of something very much worth donating to, if you can.

"This lesbian bar doesn't have a fire exit! Enjoy your death trap ladies!" "What's her problem?"

Petty gripe but: if you're white and your book has no characters of color, you shouldn't be writing white people jokes. It's cringe virtue signaling at best.

Great news! JSTOR now have a free account with an Independent Researcher category. You can access 100 documents per month www.jstor.org/action/showL...

Through gritted teeth I am forced to hand it to Jude Doyle, who wrote a very good analysis of the ghosts haunting music criticism's past and present. Also apparently we both like EMA. jude-doyle.ghost.io/po/

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

The bees have discovered Brutalism

just worth reiterating that historically "we need to throw these people under the bus for pragmatic reasons" is often indistinguishable from, "I, personally, do not like these people and want to throw them under the bus." www.everythingishorrible.net/p/martin-nie...

David Adler: What it means to be Jewish on the Global Sumud Flotilla ✊

From the #gazaflotilla, David Adler writes that “It is a blessing that we are approaching interception at the onset of Yom Kippur—our annual day of atonement—which calls us to reflect on our sins, and what can be done to repair them in the spirit of tikkun olam.” www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Shana tova u'metuka! May everyone's 5786 be relatively peaceful, and may it bring you everything you hope for 🍎🍯🐟

It’s official: the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concludes Israel is committing genocide. The UN body calls on nations to stop sending weapons to Israel, ensure people within their jurisdiction aren’t aiding or inciting the genocide, and hold those who are accountable.

Finally got my hands on Where Are You Really From by Elaine Hsieh Chou! Bet it's gonna be a nice and breezy— (Three stories later) ........what the fuck.

One policy solution to Young Men we should be considering is Universal Basic Electric Guitar (UBEG). I'm not joking, by the way. Kids of any gender should get a low-cost starter kit for some hobby of their choosing once they turn 13. A camera, paints, a cheap sampler, etc.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Not to brag, but I know firsthand what it's like losing a parent before you've finished puberty, so if anyone wants advice on how that would realistically fuck a kid up so that I don't go "wow your protagonist is way too emotionally stable" every five seconds HMU--

I'm not gonna directly comment on yesterday's death. I will say, to everyone wringing their hands over "political violence" always being wrong: I'm gonna need you to explain how you'd feel in 1945.

Recent-ish revelation that my girlfriend and I are just a long-running Mitchell and Webb bit. Sigh. Better update my bio accordingly

Thank you @janeciab.bsky.social for speaking with me for @literaryhub.bsky.social! We spoke about the alternate realities of the diaspora, navigating publishing as a writer of color, when I worked as a background actor, screenwriting vs. prose and more 😊 lithub.com/elaine-hsieh...

BREAKING: Dozens of Trans Advocates and Allies Stage “Bathroom Sit-in,” with banners that say “FLUSH BATHROOM BIGOTRY,” protesting bigoted anti-trans bathroom bill SB 8 #banbathroombigotry

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.

that NEA "we cancelled the creative writing fellowships program because we prioritize fostering AI competency" letter is a really good example of a genre of what we might call found horror

I’m featured in AP News! 🌱 I had the opportunity to discuss the impact of extreme heat and how injustices like redlining affect all of us. My organization has grown to make an impact in environmental conservation, sustainability, policy change, social justice, and innovation. #blksky #environment

May the harm you have caused be repaired by myriads who work to erase your name and eradicate your footprint from this earth in every way aka byeeee

Two things can be true: 1) this administration is causing & will cause incalculable damage & death to vulnerable people, and eventually to everyone except maybe the oligarchs. It is a horror show beyond many of our wildest previous imaginings 2) they are bungling fools and they have already failed

I love being trilingual because it means I get to spot "congrats that's the worst anyone's ever done it" levels of bad French dialogue in Big 5 books that really ought to have the budget for a translator

The Montgomery bus boycotts lasted OVER A YEAR - carpooling, walking groups, job sharing, money for cabs, etc for 30,000+ Black people. That didn’t happen because someone said “let’s boycott” and the next day everyone simultaneously said “good idea” and magically stopped using the bus. 2/4

Please stop being desperate enough to publish with random small/micropresses that offer you nothing you can't do yourself, and take at least 50% of your royalties for the glorious nothing they're doing for you.

My Mc Rea from my WW2 Wip keeps insisting she's not a lesbian, meanwhile this is what she's writing in her diary addressed to a friend who kissed her once and gave her a violet shaped necklace #WritingCommunity #Snippet
