In a world where fewer and fewer people concern themselves with the plight of others, the loss of Rob Reiner, who cared deeply about humanitarian causes, feels that much more devastating. RIP: 1947-1925.

Terribly sad news about Rob Reiner, especially that the circumstances make it hard for anyone to grieve in a conventional way. Thanks for the films, Mr R, hard to add much to this (ignore North):

When I served on the Pentagon's Defense Innovation Board (under part of Obama-2 and all of Trump-1), what impressed me most about the commitment of Military Officers was their sworn allegiance — not to a leader or commander or a king, but to the US Constitution.

The plots of disaster movies that portray the end of civilization often begin with high-level Government Officials ignoring the warning of scientists.

An author-signed book is one of the most affordable gifts you can give a friend or loved one.

The American Museum of Natural History shop stocks a dozen of my books, pre-signed by me. You’ll pay near-list price or a Black-Friday price, but proceeds go to the Museum.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut Education and Science Research the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden).

Think Science and especially Medicine has somehow failed you? Think again.

If you had told me a decade ago that we would elect a pedophile to the Oval Office (twice) before we elected a woman, I would’ve called you crazy.

LOL y'all wouldn't have to worry about Chuck Schumer and the Democrats "caving" had you gone to the polls last November and voted for Kamala Harris.

Trump & MAGA told you they were going to do this, Y'ALL CAVED and want everyone else to scramble in 2025 because you didn't do right in 2024:

Trump wants to end the ACA & give money to us in the form of HSA to buy our own insurance.
Multiple issues here, but here’s 3 right off the top:
1. Corporate Greed will cause price gouging with no oversight, or gov’t controls.
2. Pre-existing conditions will no longer be protected as they are now

Voters might not be happy with the Democratic Party, but this election proves that they know good Democratic candidates and messaging when they see them, and they’ll show up.

BREAKING: Prop 50 passes in California.

Voters approved Newsom’s plan to oust GOP incumbents with a new congressional map that could give Dems up to five more seats in next year’s midterms, buoying their prospects of retaking the House.

My expert political opinion is that killing the job market, raising grocery prices, kicking people off their health care, stealing taxpayer money, and trying to starve 40 million Americans is pretty damn unpopular.

The Billionaire class gets massive tax breaks & subsidies.

Working class Americans on unlivable wages get SNAP assistance, so they can afford necessities like food.

Guess which program is getting cut?

An administration of billionaires will always look out for their own.

Learn & vote accordingly.
