Hearing “Auld Lang Syne” will hit extra hard this New Year’s Eve
just found out Rob Reiner changed the ending of When Harry Met Sally because he met his wife during production and now I’m in shambles

So much this
One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

He thought he saw an Elephant,
That practised on a fife:
He looked again, and found it was
A letter from his wife.
"At length I realise," he said,
"The bitterness of Life!"

It is time to keep your appointment with the Wicker Man, Charlie Brown.
I've seen horrors. Horrors that you have seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer, you have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that, Charlie Brown.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain, Charlie Brown.

His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die… He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

I’ve often walked from my house to the University of Memphis campus, a journey of about 10 blocks. Never realized what a charmed life I’ve been living

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA
