I am so sad to hear of the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. He and my father worked hard for so many of the same causes. Most important. They always believed and expected us to do better. May their life long dedication to this belief never be forgotten.
Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there. Miss you dad!
The only thing I ever bought from a comic book ad—besides Sea Monkeys—was this: a Lincoln-Kennedy Penny. This is how we entertained ourselves with conspiracy theories before social media took over. Just thought it might give you a laugh. Enjoy!
The Japanese Village and Deer Park was a Japanese-themed amusement park in Buena Park, California that operated from 1967 to 1975. It featured traditional Japanese buildings, shows, and a deer park inspired by Nara Park in Japan. The Asner family enjoying the park.
I can’t believe it has been six years since you left us. I think of you every day. I miss you mom.
This is heartbreaking. Clem Burke was one of those rare drummers who stood out not just for his incredible talent, but for his vibrant personality as well. His influence on music will resonate forever. Rest in peace, Clem Burke. youtu.be/TU3-lS_Gryk?...

Thread- 15 years ago my father and I went to the Oscars and had a hell of a time. UP! Won best animated film and score and was nominated for Best Picture. It was a wonderful experience for both of us. My dad loved getting a rise out of people.
It was a total set up. An ugly scene. They planned to ambush him to get him out of power. He rightfully won’t go forward without security guarantees and these two bullies went after him to either shame him out of office or publicly accept a deal that he can’t stomach
If you have never had the treat of watching Gene Hackman act, do yourself a favor and use this tragic news to look at his largely brilliant work as an actor. From The Conversation and Bonnie and Clyde to The French Connection and Unforgiven. He was a master.
I am heartbroken. My dear friend and my father’s best friend, Peter Jason, passed away today. What a loss He was truly one of the sweetest people on the planet. My heart goes out to his wife and daughter. Peter, I hope you and my dad are up there laughing your asses off.
Just heard Rick Buckler, The drummer of The Jam, passed away. they were one of my favorite bands as a teen. They were also the loudest band I have ever seen in concert. When I saw them at Santa Monica Civic in 1980 the sound system lost power for about 3 seconds. What a shock. RIP
When I was 17, I first heard Joy Division. At the time, my band, Insect Idol, was a punk band, and my friend and guitarist, Nick, played me a tape that instantly became essential listening—something that could never be turned off. youtu.be/1G-eH2y4kzA?...

Why is Trump talking about the hiring of disabled people in connection with the air disaster. Can someone please enlighten me?
Happy heavenly birthday to my dear mother, who would have been 95 today. You are so missed. I hope that wherever you are, you are walking on a beach with all of your dogs and enjoying a martini.

Over the past few days, many have seen a familiar face on their TVs, offering comfort in the best way he can. My friends and I grew up with Anthony Marrone.
Thinking about all in harms way of the fires burning in Los Angeles. The next 48 hours are going to be rough. 🙏
My sister, Katie, found this incredible letter from my mom to my dad. They were obviously at a point where they had to make big decisions. In their life together. My mom lays it out here like the agent she was telling him he has to be on TV.
He will forever be thought of as the most respected ex-President in history. A label to be proud of. May his memory forever be a blessing. RIP Jimmy Carter.
This is hideous. A place I have been so many times. A place my mother called home. It is almost inconceivable that someone would write this and distribute it today. But here we are. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/22/u...

Had the good fortune to meet a baseball idol while filming Season of The Samurai. Rickey Henderson, who I grew up watching steal bases for The A’s, was the manager of The San Diego Surf Dawgs. I could tell that he had a great sense of fun in whatever he did. RIP Rickey Henderson.
Thinking of my friend Adam Seligman on his birthday. Adam, I think of you every day. You are so missed. Hoping you are making my mom laugh up in heaven. Friends , if you have a great Adam story please honor him by telling it here. youtu.be/2NIVmz2ew0E
