Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

THESE ARE THREE OF THE PEOPLE WHO BROKE IT
Jeff Flake, Joe Manchin and Tina Smith all decided to leave the Senate during the Trump era. On “The Interview,” the current and former lawmakers open up about why they think the Senate is broken and what it would take to fix it. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/13/m...

So I really liked Wake Up Dead Man; and I also liked Glass Onion and loved Knives Out. None of them are bad films and the original is great.
But I do think it may be time for Rian Johnson to move on. At this point I think future films from him would hit diminishing returns.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

I’m getting on a plane, so I won’t be able to watch the game awards, and will instead need to engage with them the normal way: from a text summary on Reddit two days later.

For me, Irreversible. I managed to watch it through in two sittings. I respect it immensely. Never again.

Never mind movies you’ve watched multiple times, name a movie you’ve watched once and would never watch again.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.
Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.
It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.
That’s it.

The one that always sticks in my head the hardest was “Usher to put Shirt on When Usher Ready to put Shirt on”.
And then later Usher put his shirt on! Glad he got there.

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.
