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."

At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is.
The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥

Because he’s a man. A flawed man, but a man. And a son. He has withstood being dragged for filth & humiliated by the likes of MTG, and saw his father betrayed & humiliated and remained silent. He’s claiming his right as a man and a son to call out those who he believes harmed his family.
Keep up.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

YO. GIVE THIS A LISTEN. FOR REAL.
Aran is the other half of the LEASHES project and I worked with her on this. It's an incredibly tight release with a HUGE amount of love and talent behind it.
Definitely worth a listen or two!

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians.
Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number.
"This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers."
I walked out.
