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.

This is one of those times when all of the bad news just sucks the air out of your lungs.

Just a truly terrible weekend of news.

Reminder: Not weighing in is always an option.

Would like to do my new headshots in this lululemon athleisure hoody as I look fucking great in it.

I lived across from a Brooklyn PS and at 3pm that horrible day the entire block was parents there to meet their kids and walk them home. Won’t ever forget that image and won’t ever forgive that Republicans chose guns over those children.

I would pay double to live in a building that smelled like Indian food all the goddamn time.

Checked in on several Instagram accounts I had to mute and… yup… people have still lost their goddamn minds.

If you mute 99.9 percent of humorless, earnest leftist and liberal replies on this site it becomes a lot less annoying.

The NFL officiating crisis is reaching new heights

Compare the statement about the antisemitic terror attack in Australia by the Israeli Prime Minister with the one by Zohran Mamdani, and ask yourself who more truly cares about condemning antisemitism, as opposed to using it to promote unrelated politics.

Netanyahu's regime has spent years making it increasingly clear that they don't care in the slightest about the diaspora's safety or well-being.

Pats defense can’t get so deflated by the horrific officiating. Got flattened at the end of that drive.

If I see this fucking ref again this season it will be too soon.

Fuck this officiating

Anyway, worrying about what Nate Silver thinks in 2025 is like worrying about who is Time’s Person of the Year. They’re both completely irrelevant, act accordingly.

Between the dangerous misinformation (because he’s fucking stupid) and the exclamation point (because he has less empathy than a suicide bomber), I don’t know how someone on earth could be worse.

Nate mistook the edibles for his every day gummy bears again.

Housing affordability is important, but the idea that renters have less of a stake in their community and the country’s future is absolutely insidious and offensive.

Second time through but there is just so much going on here. A commentary about how people tell themselves stories to maintain faith over and over and over…. …accented by how adorable Josh O’Connor is.

“She was a harlot and a whore”

Can watch Josh Brolin talk about jerkin’ it to cat cafes endlessly

We’re gonna recognize Josh O’Connor as the next De Niro, eventually.

The correct order, and I don’t know what is wrong with many of you but I love you the same: 1. Wake Up Dead Man 2. Knives Out 3. Glass Onion I love Glass Onion’s aggressive silliness but it ends up lesser.

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

No one hates Catholics more than JD Vance.

Watching Fargo s2 again, like any good Jean Smart loving gay should do.

Would send this draft back with a note saying the writer was fired.

It’s a cliche but Carol loving golf was worth it.

How we treat the worst among us is a reflection of how we perceive ourselves.

As an often solo hiker this week’s Pluribus was basically all my worst nightmares.

I think it was a huge mistake to make our society so car-dependent. But man. The Discourse today is a good reminder that when it comes to roadways policy, otherwise progressive anti-car people quickly become some of the most pro-carceral, anti-civil liberties people on the planet.

Frustrated Trump Struggling To Find Any Infrastructure Left In Indiana To Destroy https://theonion.com/frustrated-trump-struggling-to-find-any-infrastructure-left-in-indiana-to-destroy/

Not taking a stance on the ACLU’s statement, I will take the contrarian stance on our one size fits all BAL standards and how they don’t make us any safer. reason.com/2010/12/31/a...

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Stereophonic is 3 hours long and I am honestly debating wearing athleisure to the Pantages tonight.

I mean so what

These people are so fucking cowardly. The tiniest criticism by a foreigner and they have a temper tantrum. For all the manly talk and claims of free speech absolutism, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump are a total pussies.

Relived that we can all keep cheering for IU in the playoff. Thank you, Indiana Republicans who showed courage in the face of your governor and president’s malicious threats.

Wait, some of you are not really up in arms about something as completely dumb as Time’s Person of the Year, right?

Can we finally be rid of this utter fucking disgrace of an athletic director?

Everyone should read this incredible first-person piece by Jason Collins (as told to @ramonaespn.bsky.social), on his battle with brain cancer. So much admiration for this man.

In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.

Yeah sorry but this person has no fucking clue how shit works and what the shutdown was costing people. There. Was. Never. Going. To. Be. A. Deal. Where. A. Policy. Was. Traded. To. Re-open. The. Government. West Wing level fantasy shit but by the left.

This would be terrific news and hopefully would end the risk of being locked out due to our very stupid primary system.

Heartbreaking to read about Jason Collins glioblastoma diagnosis.

IT MATTERED BEFORE! Democrats won the house in 2018, and the White House and Senate in 2020! Why is this so hard to remember?

Is this any way to run a country? Brett Kavanaugh’s racism has paved the way for this fascism.

Unfortunately, under our Kavanaugh Stops regime, it is entirely rational for anyone who appears Hispanic to carry proof of citizenship at all times. The worst part is that it might not be enough: ICE/CBP keep arresting people who have proof of citizenship, refusing to accept its validity.
