#BOTD in 1925: Paul Newman, the first actor to play me on screen in the 1956 TV production of Bang the Drum Slowly. "From here on in, I rag nobody". I understand this talented young man went on to have a pretty good acting career and to do some great philanthropic work.

Carrying on his grandfather’s tradition of bigotry and xenophobia.

So disappointing seeing Spike Lee doing commercials for Meta and Polymarket #WorldSeries

Gee it’s so unlike him to demonstrate such thin skin over something minor.

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

Please tell me there are no more Bolsonaro failsons out there.

Gonna be some ketchup-splattered walls and whiny unhinged Truth Social screeds about voter fraud tonight for sure once he's finished ranting about Bill Maher.

Oh so a country *can* choose not to make the same mistake twice

"NO FUNCTIONING GOVERNMENT, POLICE OR EFFECTIVE INSTITUTIONS"

Pablo Picasso was born on this date in 1881.

What is it with billionaires and taxes? What change in his lifestyle would these taxes cause? Would the guy even notice? What, he doesn’t have enough money already? www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

i miss when Biden had that dog that would bite everyone

When I first saw this showing up in my timeline this afternoon I honestly thought it was fake b/c it sounds too stupid and obvious for even Donnie Dementia to put out there. Glad this is the crap he's focused on two weeks from the GOP getting curb-stomped in the midterms...

“Stop Making Sense” premieres 42 years ago today. 🎂 “.. shooting live music is the most purely cinematic thing you can do,” said director Jonathan Demme. “Ideally, the cinema is becoming one with the music. There is little artifice involved. There's no acting. I love it.” [“Slippery People”]

Sure, Katie Zacharia never passed the bar. But Pete Hegseth has never passed one either.

Well, at least the Dodgers can still say they’re The Best Team Other People’s Insurance Premiums Can Buy

They Shoot Horses, Don’t They, for Tax Purposes?

Habba Dabba Doo-Doo!

Susan Collins’ allies ran ads against me in Portland, Oregon. Should’ve asked Navatek. They knew exactly where to send the money.

There's a LOT of competition for the title of "Worst Human Being in an MLB Front Office", but I'm comfortable saying Randy Levine takes the crown. Just a completely repulsive creep. And the Yankees have won the same # of World Series this century as the Angels and the Nationals.

I'm just glad it didn't come down to this. Now, Go Brew Crew!

The 25th Amendment, 1975 Topps style

“No Way To Prevent This,” Says Only Ballpark Where This Regularly Happens

Rest in peace, lovely Eva Marie Saint. As we pay tribute, let us remember how she once reacted to a bunch of compliments she thought went overboard. She was as down-to-earth as stars ever get. (Louella Parsons sternly told Saint to apologize; as far as I know, she never did.)

Eight years ago today, Susan Collins voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. He went on to help overturn Roe v. Wade. She still says she doesn’t regret her vote. Give her something to regret on November 3. Vote her out.

The first modern World Series, between the Boston Americans and the Pittsburgh Pirates, began on this date in 1903.

Impeach

NEW AD: Listen to this sh*t.

I’m going to have to rethink things. I’ve long ranked Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, and Marsha Blackburn as the biggest Republican idiots in the Senate, but Eric Schmitt made a very compelling case today that he belongs in the top three!

You guys, LOOK at this corgi I saw on my morning walk 🥰

I’m far more concerned about a petulant, demented Trump taking out a city with a nuclear weapon as things keep going downhill for him.

Being a leftist means taking big shots. And making them.

I was ~90% certain that SNL would launch the new season with a Mamdami/Trump cold open and it somehow managed to be even lamer than I expected. James Austin Johnson does a great Trump impression, but it's just not funny in 2026 (and hasn't been for a very long time).

Happy Birthday Boss! 😎

It's almost like making an alcoholic, racist, misogynist, unfit weekend Fox News host who is purging everyone competent from the armed forces Defense Secretary was a bad idea.

Legit hysterical how much effort the GOP and RW media invest in demonizing Mamdami and meanwhile starstruck Trump just keeps melting into a puddle around him.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center isn’t just a performing arts center, it’s a memorial to President John F. Kennedy and only an evil vindictive vile weak depraved narcissistic pathetic subhuman would spend every waking day trying to deface it and completely destroy it out of spite and jealousy.

I think it’s great that he’s stupid enough to do this 6 weeks before the midterms. WH access is worthless with this bunch of lying idiots. Anything which wakes up even a few more folks who mostly ignore politics about the need to remove the GOP from power asap is a plus. Also Politico is RW lol.

The US Constitution is a blueprint for governing and a safety net for civil liberties, not an obstacle to be navigated for loopholes. Happy Constitution Day.

Talking Heads released their debut album on this date in 1977.
