I thought it was called “spooky season”. Oh wait, they lost five games in a row? Sure, that’s a nightmare.

Steve Bannon on the Brazilian election: “...this is a Marxist globalist government, and if you don't think this is not going to happen here in the United States of America, you are dead wrong."

The president is demanding that Republican Senate candidates stand next to him at rallies where he talks about asses (mostly one man’s) and brags about making gas prices higher. If his candidates lose, it’s because the elections were rigged.

You can make compost out of excess leaves by filling a trashcan and letting it exposed to the rain. And if you make too much, some neighbor will literally come pick it up in 45 minutes if you say the phrase “it’s ripe and ready” on Listserv. It stank so bad and someone was like “FUCK YEA”

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

This is an impeachable post, he should be removed from office

Trump: "Murkowski is a DISGRACE to Alaska & our Country. You just don’t get any worse! I hope the Great People of Alaska understand what's happening. The Democrats are trying to steal this important Republican Seat &, if that happens, everything we’ve done for Alaska will come to an immediate hault"

I walked around and delivered pamphlets for the mayor’s re-election campaign today, and so my feet are killing me. People and their contemptible steps.

You can’t even bust through from the other side and absolutely wreck your pal Noah, like my kid’s friend Eli did to their pal Noah once.

You can tell that second one is just to piss Trump off, cause nobody under 38 years old knows shit about Liberace. It’s fine on Bluesky though.

Former presidents are just roasting the hell out of the White House redo today and it’s going to drive Trump absolutely insane

Even in races where they’re likely to get absolutely wrecked, Republicans couldn’t help cheating. Low class bunch.

New York Focus found that Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman submitted requests that could have granted him over $860,000 in public money he isn’t eligible for.

That’s Trump’s U.S. Park Police tackling and trampling people at a concert in DC today. These are the same police whose practices killed Josue Chavez in March and Nolberto Meza in June.

A reminder also that this office has no U.S. Attorney, and the guy running the office — as first assistant — was ruled to have improperly served too long as the appointed U.S. Attorney.

NEW, NYT: More action from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of California that is not based in law and runs counter to DOJ policy. DOJ is threatening local elections officials in CA after DOJ did not get what they wanted from their BS lawsuit. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

OT is from the 80s. By the 90s we all had space cadet pinball and mini golf on the computer. And then the internet, which is like a game, except if you lose, you end up with a potential trigger for a depressive episode instead of “to start again”.

Americans who went to school in the 90s: did you play Oregon Trail? Did EVERYONE play Oregon Trail? I keep seeing it come up and wonder if it was truly that prevalent

When I originally posted that Elon Musk slowed StarLink and StarShield service to Ukraine, seriously eroding Ukraine's ability to intercept Russian jet-powered drone and missile attacks on civilians, various responders tried to lecture me that "Musk cannot throttle StarShiled." He did. 1/2

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott signed an executive order laying out a vision for the first permanent municipal guaranteed income in the nation to support babies and their families, if city voters pass the measure next month. Thank you Mayor Scott for your leadership.

But IF YOU LISTEN TO THE END of Todd Blanche’s statement, he really isn’t threatening anything, right? Remember that one?
