By now, you’ve probably seen or heard what the current occupant of the White House said about Rob Reiner. Comments which he later doubled down on because the president’s brain is leaking. Sadly, Reiner is no longer around to witness even Fox News say it was a bridge too far, but wherever he is, I hope he feels the outpouring of love coming from his friends and colleagues. That’s something the Orange Man will never have. (Instagram)

Reading One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich gave ingres77 a longing for a rigorous public intelligentsia. “Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is a moral giant of 20th century literature, and this work of rebellion under totalitarian control is the real version of what a lot of modern ‘public intellectuals’ try to paint themselves as doing: speaking truth to tyrannical power at the risk of individual freedom.” Are you familiar with Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn?

From Kayleigh:
One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.
