This entire weekend

I was onstage with Cary Elwes for a PRINCESS BRIDE thing last year, and the love people have for that movie is nothing short of overwhelming. To make art that makes so many people so happy for so long is something you're lucky to do once in your career. Unless you're Rob Reiner.

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

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.

Rob Reiner, who directed such beloved Hollywood classics as 'This Is Spinal Tap,' 'Stand by Me' and 'When Harry Met Sally' after starring in the trailblazing sitcom 'All in the Family,' died Sunday along with his wife, Michele, in their Brentwood home. bit.ly/48UWXSi

Just horrible horrible news. Lovely people and Rob was a part of a lot of stuff I love.

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

I just found out you can get the FluMist flu vaccine delivered to your house now. It’s free with most insurance. Delivery cost me $9 for my family’s doses, but if your kids really can’t deal with needles this is a super-big deal. www.flumist.com

I wish I had the strength and resilience of that tape. 🙏🏽

Beefing with celebrities online. Reposting AI-generated memes of Franklin the Turtle. Sharing videos of people being detained to copyrighted music. All of these prove exactly what @annamerlan.bsky.social wrote about months ago: The official voice of the US government is cruel, gross, and weird.

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

Honestly, a pretty solid coping strategy.

Anything online or computer related this year is a nightmare.

The is article is very good. Also, if your, more famous than you, comedy friends are doing shit like Killy Tony and Skankfest, even though they are your buddy who still does your bar show, they’re friends with/take money from facists and instead of kissing their ass you should say, “That’s gross.”

For friends in and around the Twin Cities and beyond, keep @danielsuitor.com's name handy. Maybe you'll never need a lawyer. But maybe someone you know will need a name someday. Reach out to Dan; he's a good person.

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X. Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Anyone else getting chills from Eddie Kingston's promo? I feel like all 3 Ghosts of Christmas came at me all at once. #AEWCollision

If you’re mad at trans athletes in women’s sports you’re mad about the wrong thing entirely.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

Also got approval for an expansion of Bandit Brewery into the adjacent former Beer Store building.

#Toronto wants to be a Bicycle Capital. But it’s surrounded by a Ford Nation. ( #Ontario premier Doug Ford never met an SUV he didn’t love.) City has a workaround: narrow (rather than remove) vehicle lanes to add 20 km of new bike lanes. toronto.citynews.ca/2025/12/01/i...

Also, for your consideration: "Ready or Not 2" is a better "The Running Man" reboot than "The Running Man (2025)."

"Ahhhh I have arrived on the Street of Sesame, on a sunny day turned cloudy . . . " Yes, folks, it's Beignet Blanc!

In our journey through corny Christmas movies we were caught off guard with a good one? "Champagne Problems" had a fun cast, great chemistry with the leads and the supporting cast (Flula Borg!), bubbly dialogue and beautifully filmed on location in Paris and the Champagne region of France. 🥂 🍾 🌲

Ah, the accusatory “we,” where rather than describing something the author and others do, it means “you,” and it is meant to describe something others, but certainly not the author, do, which is implied to be wrong or unreasonable.

“Cancellation limbo”: when you’re definitely not cancelled but not as celebrated as you used to be. This is one reason why “cancel culture” discourse is so tiresome: a lot of people are using it to mean “my life was affected in some negative way by my actions” www.newyorker.com/culture/crit...

Keep it up, my fellow Americans. Lock arms and hold tight.

I love this essay by film critic emeritus Lisa Schwarzbaum on seeing Mira Nair’s “Monsoon Wedding” 24 years ago — and being reminded of it anew during the joyful mayoral campaign of Nair’s son, Zohran Mamdani: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/o...

This article was perfectly coded to my particular strains of nerdiness.

Well, this is quite something. #Bluejays

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

post a famous bathroom scene

In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream, Charlie Brown.

"What up, turds?"

That plow really tied the roads together.

And people still look me square in the face and deadass ask me why women don't report.

A lot of actors in here making terrible choices but I have the most noise for Sean Astin who is the sitting SAG-AFTRA president and has a fiduciary duty to not fuck around with fascists He should watch the Lord of the Rings. It has lessons! www.avclub.com/fox-news-nat...

Just bawling through "Come See Me In the Good Light" what a beautiful documentary, a tribute to poetry, love and Andrea Gibson.

J6er Jake Lang got punched yesterday in Dearborn, Michigan during his anti-Muslim march.

Hamilton’s revamped arena, TD Coliseum, officially opens this Friday with Paul McCartney, but they’re doing a preview show tonight w/ Earth Wind & Fire, and the opening act is a cover band made up of construction workers, so the first people to play the joint are dudes who built it. Awesome. #hamont
