An of the moment appreciation of Rob Reiner. whatsalanwatching.com/rob-rein… Do watch the clip from All in the Family embedded.

in reply to Heidi Li Feldman

what’s wonderful about that clip, which I’m sure I’ve not seen in decades, is that it demonstrates what great character actors both of them are. Overtly, their differences in the show were political and social, but here, we see them as deeply dug in over nothing.

But, for the sake of solidarity, I went sock, shoe, sock, shoe this morning.

in reply to Matt Blaze

@mattblaze I had the same reaction - utter admiration for both men’s acting- seeing this scene again.


🚨 #BreakingNews from #Hollywood

Police responsed to two people dead at "a residence associated with" Actor-Director #RobReiner and his wife Michelle. While the names of the deceased have not been released, the ages of both match those of Reiner and his wife. Early reports suggest both people have been stabbed to death.

Reiner is best known for directing beloved films such as #ThePrincessBride and #AFewGoodMen , and for his role as 'Meathead' on #AllInTheFamily .

Oof. Providence police have released the person arrested Sunday morning for the Brown shooting, saying he is no longer considered of interest. So the shooter is still at large.

All right, let me list all the consoles I own in order that I got them:

* NES
* SEGA Genesis
* SEGA Nomad
* SEGA Saturn
* Sony PlayStation (two of them!)
* Game Boy Color
* Game Boy Advance
* Sony PlayStation 2
* Microsoft Xbox (two of them!)
* Game Micro
* Nintendo DS (three of them!)
* Nintendo Wii
* Microsoft Xbox 360
* Atari Flashback 5
* Nintendo 3DS
* Famicom Mini
* Sony PSP
* Hyperkin RetroN 5
* Nintendo Switch
* The C64 Mini

I thought about counting the Steam Deck and Legion Go. But no, those are handheld PCs. It’s the same reason I don’t count my Amazon Fire Stick as a console either—even though it can play games.

So actually, I have 24 consoles in total.

in reply to Carolyn

@CStamp For good reason, I’m not buying any more consoles ever again. The ones I currently have are interesting enough.

Plus, I’m going to be honest. I’ve become more and more jaded about physical ownership. The only consoles that my daughter is interested in are the Wii and Switch. But most of the time, she’s on iPad or PC.

Dozens denied oath of allegiance at Indianapolis naturalization ceremony

usatoday.com/story/news/nation…

from Indianapolis Star
Dec. 10, 2025, 6:20 a.m. ET

As people made their way into the Indianapolis Union Station for a naturalization ceremony, federal officials stopped certain applicants and told them that they wouldn't be leaving the building with #US citizenship.

The #immigrants — who had already passed every step in the long #naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance Dec. 9, 2025, to become citizens. A federal directive handed down on Dec. 2, however, made that impossible for more than one third of people signed up for the Indianapolis ceremony.

Zhibo Zhao, a US Citizenship and Immigration Services official present at the event, said oaths of allegiance for 38 of the 100 participants were "canceled."
