I pulled together a list of Rob Reiner movies available on subscription-based streamers. Stand By Me, one of my all time favorites, is on Netflix. I have that movie to thank for the writer I am today. Reiner is one of the true greats. decider.com/2025/12/15/r...
Rob Reiner movies streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max and more to honor the late, great director
RIP to one of the greats.

KOSA is never about protecting kids. It’s anti-queer and about making sure kids don’t have access to information they need to survive - from health basics to knowing they are not alone and not broken. And it will destroy the internet as we know it.
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

I'm going to be thinking about Train Dreams for a long time. Definitely one of the best of the year. It's out on Netflix today. I spoke to star Joel Edgerton (my pick for Best Actor this year, fwiw!) about creating those magical moments with Robert's family: decider.com/2025/11/21/j...
Joel Edgerton improvised some of ‘Train Dreams’ best scenes: “If you followed a script, you’d never get these moments”
Edgerton praised director Clint Bentley for keeping things “free and nimble” on set.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”

really bummed to boycott Scream 7, which tbh sounds like it's going to be fun. but they fired Melissa Barrera for being one of the few, early, brave celebs to speak out against the genocide in Gaza, and that's not an offense I can forgive.

A lot of places in the USA only have food banks operated by faith based organizations. And they only serve members of their congregation. So, lie. Do whatever you gotta do!

I did not realize the entertainment industry was still pushing seeing movies in 3D. I thought we all agreed that was overpriced and silly a decade ago
