THEY GOT RED PANDA

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

Yes, @davidaldridgedc.bsky.social , 1,000 times yes! Seattle must get an NBA team back. www.nytimes.com/athletic/689...

Why doesn’t everybody simply throw the ball backwards off a defender so that it bounces forwards into the end zone where you can recover it

Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar L. Perez Jr. said that Valente acted alone as far as authorities know. Law enforcement officials have also not recovered any manifesto-like document detailing the motivations for the attack, Perez said.

Was definitely in the top 2 of the Dolans in New York That Need to Go Power Rankings. www.reuters.com/world/us/pop...

Jalen Johnson and Kon Knueppel currently having the greatest all-Wisconsin mano a mano in NBA history don't @ me

One of the best pieces I ever read in The New Yorker, not surprisingly, was by Roger Angell. "This Old Man" was written when Angell was 94! Truly fantastic stuff: www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

He is truly, the most despicable, thin-skinned, petty vindictive little bitch.

Pretty seismic coaching news. Carlos Alcaraz announces he will no longer be coached by Juan Carlos Ferrero.

I don't know how anybody can watch this and not smile. Rob Reiner, you were a genius. "I rode up nine extra floors just to keep talking to her." www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzi2...

Geez I’m shocked that This VP is blaming immigration for some problem. So out of character for him.

As a society, we're much, much more sympathetic to addicts and addiction than we used to be. But we still fall into the belief once a person goes into recovery, they're fine (this is sometimes a narrative pushed by the addicts themselves.) But that is not always, or even most often, the case.

Wrote about how the late, great Rob Reiner had the most impossible 7-movie beginning to any director's career, and yet that's not even what he was most famous for:

I am 50 years old. Three movie directors have had the biggest impact on shaping my cultural tastes: John Hughes, Cameron Crowe, and Rob Reiner. Hard to believe 2 of them are now gone.

Breaking News: The actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, have died. The police are investigating what they called an apparent homicide at their home. Follow live updates.

People is reporing Rob & Michele Reiner were killed by their son. people.com/rob-reiner-w...

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Rob Reiner's first seven films: 1. Spinal Tap. 2. The Sure Thing. 3. Stand By Me. 4. THE PRINCESS BRIDE. 5. WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. 6. Misery 7. A Few Good Men. Good lord. Even Spielberg included 1941 in his first seven. And that was after playing Michael Stivic. I hope this news isn't true. But...

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.

Directing “The Princess Bride “ AND “When Harry Met Sally” is like a baseball pitcher throwing two perfect games.

As will be noted over and over in the coming days, the *beginning* of his directing career was SPINAL TAP, THE SURE THING, THE PRINCESS BRIDE, STAND BY ME, A FEW GOOD MEN, MISERY and WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. That is an absolutely *amazing* run with quite a lot of variety.

Rob Reiner from Spinal Tap through A Few Good Men is the greatest consecutive director run in American history.

Australia, like other countries, has seen a rise in antisemitic attacks since the start of the war in Gaza. n.pr/4pF3Vlz

The police were called at 6:30 PM ET. I hate to state the obvious, and I'm so incredibly sad about this, but it seems obvious that Rob Reiner would have released a statement by now.

Really beautiful letter from Elsa Mendoza, mom of Heisman finalist Fernando Mendoza, to her son, in @PlayersTribune. You can see this kid was raised right: www.theplayerstribune.com/fernando-men...

Holy crap. What a great trade for the Wild. Happy he’s not coming to New Jersey, at least for now.

Truly embarrassing

An all-time day for Duke. Duke 🏈: 27-20 over No. 17 Virginia in the ACC title game and win its first ACC championship ever Duke 🏀: 66-60 over No. 7 Michigan State in East Lansing to remain undefeated It's the first time EVER Duke has defeated two top-20 opponents on the same day.

Morris gets picked off on a trick play, Duke wins the ACC football championship

Darian Mensah was worth every penny of the $2 million he got paid to come to Duke !

My favorite thing about Curt Cignetti is he looks like a man who loves to spend an hour combing through a musty hardware store only to leave with nothing but a box of nails and gum that's been stocked next to the register since 2007.

Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?

We launched a GoFundMe last week to help fund our 2026 season. It is #GivingTuesday! (we'll be back later with some other worthy causes). If you like what we do and want to show your appreciation, this is how! Grateful to you for helping us remain independent after 11 years. gofund.me/e1055aba4

With so many nonprofits making a year-end push for donations, it helps to do some research before deciding where to give. @propublica.org's Nonprofit Explorer tool has details on millions of orgs (including ProPublica) with helpful info like executive compensation, revenue, and expenses.

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

Exactly, bombing the boat in the first place was a war crime, and there have been many others. The kill shot on the survivors was a continuation of that ongoing crime spree, not the beginning of one.

Hmmm. @benrothenberg.bsky.social is right, why sign up for 24/7/365 drug testing if you weren't planning on coming back? I wonder if this is just Serena wanting to break the news on her own time, in her own way, and she's not happy this news broke the way it did.

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Continually amazed that someone who's been in public life as long as Trump has lacks the capacity to say anything appropriate when someone has died.

Remember, this Thanksgiving, don’t confuse pumpkin pie with sweet potato pie; sweet potato is the one that’s 1000x better
