Praying for Rob Reiner and his family. Amazing talent — from ‘84 to ‘92 he directed seven classic films. It might be the best run any director has ever had.

WATCH: CNN's "chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst" John Miller fear-mongers about "laser sights" on pistols in the wake of the Brown University shooting. "One of those firearms, we are told, was equipped with a laser sight device. This has significance, because

That sounds exactly right.
The newest episode of "Landman" took some shots at "The View." In the episode, Tommy urges his father, T.L., to kill time around the house by watching a TV show and suggests "The View." When T.L. admits that he doesn't know what that is, Tommy explains it as, "A bunch of

@feelsdesperate When a political coalition behaves as if it is justified in lying for whatever it perceives the greater good to be, the rational response is to stop believing everything its partisans say. When the lies it jistifies include accusing an ethnic minority group of eating pets, it is

I have a nephew who’s a college student at Brown so now we both have that credential. You’ll never convince me that giving up my guns will make me safer. Not as a Jew. Not as an American. In fact, you’re doing the opposite.
Yes I deleted my post about the shooting at Brown because idiot magats and bots flocked to the comments to, once again, prove they don’t give a shit about people dying. I have family at that school. Family who are scared and shaken. We are the only country in the world who

Here's a whole lotta (surprisingly interesting!) trivia about one of the more ludicrous pop culture debates of our time.
We're watching Die Hard & my theory is this: If a movie plot does not rely on Christmas events or accessories, if the movie could take place in July just as easily as December, it's just not a Christmas movie. Die Hard could be set anytime.

Ken Burns’ documentary on the American Revolution has generated much commentary, some supportive and some critical. Across social media, complaints abound that he paid too much, or too little, a

After Nate Silver criticized Heather Cox Richardson’s politics, Jamelle Bouie slammed Silver on Bluesky for how, he said, Silver “turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology…his complaint is literally that there are people who believe in things, believe those things
The Democratic equivalent of the Tea Party is basically Heather Cox Richardsonism, a kind of purity politics rooted in belief in the historical righteousness of the progressive project paired with a loose grasp if not an outright disdain for the role played by public opinon.

Amazing community note on this one.
You could move to Aplington, Iowa and get a job at the post office making $25 an hour to start, meet a nice girl at the First Reformed Church and take her on a date to Stinky's Bar and Grill, and get married and raise up seven children in this house but you will not do it.

There was some dubious stuff at the margins, but unlike HCR, the historical narratives of the Tea Party were not routinely fraudulent.
