We say goodbye to actor, filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner.
A dedicated storyteller with sincerity that imbued his prolific work and the causes he believed in, Reiner’s heartfelt portrayal of the human condition reminds us of the power of film and its abilities to stay with us.

These guys are terrified of the numbers that are going to turn out on Saturday, and that's all the more reason to put down your "wine mom protest" objections and join them.

Listen folks. Charlie Kirk got shot this afternoon. I think we should take this time to reflect on the inherent violence in society, have a snack, take a nap…..

I take solace in the fact that Trump’s decorating skills prove he’s not gay, gay adjacent or has ever seen interior design properly executed by a gay man. Thank god he’s not one of us.
Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.

There’s nothing we can do about it. It’s in the prenup.
The Kennedy Center’s Opera House could soon be called the “First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.”
A Republican proposal would rename the second-largest theater in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after first lady Melania Trump.

What a team the Bergmans were! They composed some wonderful songs, especially with Michel Legrand.

Oscar-winning lyricist Alan Bergman has died at 99. Bergman teamed with his wife, Marilyn, for an enduring and loving partnership that produced such old-fashioned hits as “How do You Keep the Music Playing?” and the classic “The Way We Were.”

I loathe Trump but I must admit that he may have, accidentally or purposely, done something smart. He brought the neocons back into the fold. He will never lose his 33% base but some of those “Never Trumpers”love to heed the clarion calls of war and their bloodlust may temper their resistance.

It’s quite easy and very human for many of us to take glee in the public feud that has erupted between Trump and Musk, but this is the President of the United States, for fuck’s sake. I am sad for our country. When will we escape this nightmare?

The United States has a “DementiaVillage” too. It’s called The White House.
The “Dementia Village” is a first of its kind community designed to give people with dementia the freedom to live and play. It looks and feels like a small town, complete with parks, grocery stores, cafes, and everyday spaces that offer comfort, routine and a sense of independence. #AgingWithDignity
