There is a study doing the rounds that shows no SC2 in the plasma. This does not surprise me. The plasma is like a major thoroughfare with police, cameras and stop and checks. I would expect to see pathogens here in active acute illness.

ive been full on sobbing the last 30 minutes i really don’t understand how we’re supposed to process this much horror and grief all at once

i haven’t cried over someone in the industry’s death like this since robin williams and heath ledger. i am just devastated.

i am so distraught over rob reiners death. what a horrifying cherry on top of the worst fucking sunday imaginable. this country is irredeemable.

how can any of us be proud of a country that does this and creates this? we live in such a wretched place. America. the land where hope dies.

I may only get to make one movie. I’m glad it was one where I got to reference STAND BY ME. It was in the DNA of everything we did with WHAT LIES WEST.

Fuck I just saw the news about Rob Reiner. I’m so sad. I’m so heartbroken. No, no. Fuck.

The US has yet another school shooting and Trump says “things happen”. He calls it a “situation”. He gives “thoughts and prayers”. Australia has a mass shooting and their Prime Minister immediately announces plans for stricter gun control. That’s how it should be.

Omgosh how scary and tragic. In his home in Brentwood! Rob Reiner seems like such a nice man. wapo.st/4oSmm4M

Rhode Island police chief confirms it was the FBI who identified & picked up the person of interest in the Brown University shooting That person has been released and the suspect is still at large This raises serious questions about Patel’s ability to lead the FBI & how functional it is right now

Rob Reiner directed one of the best cinematic examples of the importance of troops refusing illegal orders. A Few Good Men follows two marines on trial after killing a fellow marine. The came from above, but that they should have known to refuse it. Reiner was also a vocal opponent of Trump. RIP

I owe my life to people of every major religion, and people of no religion. Good people are everywhere. I’m going to focus on that today. Because the bad people want to make the most noise, and win. Thinking of everyone impacted by yesterdays shooting at Bondi. 🕯️

Fuck this. Fuuuuuuck this

There’s been so much distressing and awful news this weekend. It feels unrelenting. It can steal your spoons and cause flares. Never forget it’s ok to take a break. It’s ok to unplug. It’s ok to rest. www.disabledginger.com/p/spoon-savi...

ICE agents violently detained another disabled person, causing severe injuries. Arturo Ruvalcaba lives in Utah and is deaf. Three ICE agents grabbed him at a bus stop. He tried to use sign language to communicate his disability to them, and they interpreted that as “resisting arrest”.

Rob Reiner was an acclaimed actor & director but he was also a vocal critic of Trump He warned the American public that they only had a year to save their democracy That year is almost up Honour his legacy by fighting fascism. Fight for democracy. Fight for what’s right. Fight against tyranny.

Told my kids about Rob Reiner and man, it was not easy to keep it together. He was just so great, but more, so good. Hard world.

Multiple sources confirming the death of Rob Reiner at the age of 78. His portrayal of Meathead on All in the Family captivated me at a young age. He directed some of my all time favourite movies, including A Few Good Men and The Princess Bride. Thank you for the art Mr Reiner. As you wish.

I think I would add that he would probably slash taxes but also slash the government, and lean into closer economic ties with the United States wherever possible as the solution to Canada's economic woes

Some Dallas TV Twitter account is using AI to write its breaking news ... not realizing that the voice of Marge Simpson in Quebec has died, not Marge Simpson in English. www.facebook.com/groups/Simps...

Maybe he's planning to start EUKO??

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

A treasure from beginning to end. An irreplaceable loss.

On the bright side, something, I'm sure.

Trump is fighting against providing an ASL interpreter at White House press briefings ICE detained & injured a deaf man because they claimed his “sign language gestures” were resisting arrest They’re either not trained to recognize sign language, or they don’t care Disgusting ableism on display

Tiffany Shepsis-Tretta is the mother of Mia Tretta, a young girl who survived a school shooting. She was then locked down at Brown University during a second school shooting. Kurt values his guns more than her life. More than all our lives. People like this should lose the right to bear arms.

NO 😱 it's not true, say it's not true, make it be not true 😭

Rob Reiner isn’t even confirmed deceased and folks on the right are already spewing hateful rhetoric about his support of the Democratic Party and his criticism of Trump. This must stop. He has family, friends and loved ones. Some restraint and compassion would go a long way.

Masks are incredibly effective when they’re actually worn. They’re not effective when they’re in your hand, in your pocket, under your chin or under your nose. If you upgrade to a respirator like an N95? Even better! Mask up to avoid Covid, flu and stay healthy this holiday season.

2 people found dead in home owned by Rob Reiner, AP source says

A lot of Americans are weighing in on the tragedy at Bondi Beach in Australia & saying MORE guns is the answer. They should sit this one out. The fact that the shooters didn’t have automatic weapons saved lives. America has had more than 350 mass shootings this year. More guns is never the answer

The right to bear arms should never be more important than children’s right to not be shot at school. Every other developed country has figured this out. It’s time for America to catch up.

“One is Susan Monarez, a former director of the C.D.C., who was fired by the White House…The other is Dr. Debra Houry, a former chief medical officer of the C.D.C., who quit partly in protest over the firing of Dr. Monarez. Both will now serve as consultants for the CA Department of Public Health”

Trump & RFK Jr recently unveiled their "Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy"—written by Drs Makary & Bhattacharya, plus Russell Vought, Stephen Miller, & others (full list on p4 of www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...) I'd like to ask them why their strategy includes pepper spraying toddlers

A small Australian December #flu update. In the ~2 days since my last update (13DEC), detections have risen by 1,270. That's a daily rate of 635 (lower than 1,616 in the previous update).

Bondi's murderous night was horrifying & seems driven by antisemitic hate. Other groups are treated with hate & rage. People of colour, those with different religious beliefs or gender identities, & women who are murdered every week. Maybe we should talk and do more about tolerance, control, & men.

The articles say homicide and robbery is investigating (could just be procedure) but if someone has killed Rob Reiner I’m going to need to change my stance on some things.

AI is destroying copyright law precedent before our eyes. we need author's rights again. we need all derivative rights again. we need power in the hands of the creators again. down, down, down with creative and work r*pe.

Everyone is welcome here.

Do not want this news.

Perhaps also part of that followup needs to emphasise that this horrible act of murder didn't appear to require automatic weapons. ANY guns can kill lots of people in the hands of hate- and anger-filled people. Reduce the guns. Work on tolerance and understanding.

I want all the book to screen adaptation to do this. It really illuminates for people the added context the book provides.

Finally, a workable plan.

I'm officially replacing the word "hope" with the word "anticipate." That's my worldview. I'd say it's far healthier than 90 percent of what's going on right now.

When someone is talking about the mass shooting today but you have to ask which one. I can’t with this unrelenting violence.

Yeah war is a lot of waste and death and disaster. And Russia created this black hole.

It's fucked up how many guns and mass shootings there are in the United States, it's fucked up that people were murdered at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia, it's fucked up that genocidal war criminals like Netanyahu stay in power. Many things can be fucked up at once.
