I do think the key for things like Home Alone, Muppet Christmas Carol, etc. is that the actors fully commit to the bit
I feel like similar films made now lean too heavily into doing it ironically

Has any other president ever named things after himself during his presidency? Pretty sure that normally only happens afterwards and generally when people actually *want* to name things and places after you.

I feel like that makes it worse, bc it underscores that it's not just (using just loosely) RFK Jr randomly being a conspiracy addled eugenicist wackjob -- this catastrophe was coordinated and had the backing of the conservative legal movement
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Just a reminder that renewables like wind and solar are not dominating new energy investment due to subsidies or regulations. They are dominating because they are cheaper and more reliable.
Trump wants Americans to pay more, and fall behind in technology, in order to feed his ego. Nothing more.

What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

Just really awesome how our financial elite just spent the last several decades admonishing people for pursing the humanities and creative fields, and are now suddenly pedaling the idea that "there are no good ideas anymore" after spending the last 5 years laying off everybody with a brain

Plus if you’re *pushing* your team to use AI and not seeing productivity gains or real impact, that just means you DO NOT NEED IT and could stop using it at any time. You’re just choosing to feed the machine that makes the world worse because fuck everyone else I guess?

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.
