Vivek Ramaswamy registered as an attorney in New York and as a voter in Ohio at different addresses, which would mean he either violated New York State Bar registration laws or Ohio voter registration laws.

A Scarce-amucci?

We’ll need to get down to the hours involved to get precise measurements, but we now know that a Zacharia is, roughly, half a Scaramucci.

Hmm, been flying an upside-down US flag since the 4th but it's prob time to put the pride flag back out.

Noelle@finallynoelle.bsky.social

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

When I was living in Mexico I had a similar experience. Evenings in the Jardin chatting & enjoying the night & just *being* was a real balm, even if I could only understand a few words here & there. Even if I went alone & didn't talk to anyone, I always walked home feeling lighter.

Totally banal observation, but I do think it’s a good thing that everyone in small Italian towns apparates at around sundown to hang around and say CIAO at each other in the town square while drinking coffee I think this habit is probably good for humans

I *was* going to buy an Apple TV 4K today but $300? Fuck that, I'll get a used/refurbed previous gen.

Scream this sentiment every chance you get. Don't give these spineless fucking quislings a second of peace if they aren't willing to rise to the moment.

“Every oval that Americans fill in on the D side of a ballot this fall is them saying Fuck Donald Trump as loudly and clearly as possible. And Hakeem Jeffries wants to check his swing if he dares to utter it himself? Sit on a gavel, you fucking clown.” defector.com/a-blue-wave-...

I wish I could force all the people still wearing Indians gear to read this thread, but that's making a generous assumption of their ability to read.

Russell A. Carleton@pizzacutter4.bsky.social

1/ Time for an update on this thread. If you've come across people who claim that Cleveland's MLB team was formerly called "Indians" as an honor to Louis Sockalexis, the record shows that this is a polite fiction made up after the fact. Let's look at the contemporary historical evidence.

This is great news, and IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER IF YOU DON'T VOTE.

Today, Marist's midnight poll drop is from Ohio: Sherrod Brown leads Sen. Husted 51% to 43%. Amy Acton leads Vivek Ramaswamy 50% to 44%. A key stat: 50% *strongly disapprove* of Trump, in Ohio. maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/midter...

What with the interview discourse, I did an interview once wearing a decent amount of motorcycle gear & smelling carbureted (IYKYK). The co. only had availability on a day I'd scheduled off for a motorcycle trip, & just happened to be close to my route. Told them the sich, they were cool about it.

I really need Apple to ban apps from using push notifications for ads. I don't need my goddam aircon window unit spamming me to buy another damn air conditioner.

Get their asses.

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

Oh my gosh, the best political video on YouTube just got updated after a decade and a half and it's still just perfect! It visualizes something that I've talked about a lot since the first video came out: The real problem is the billionaire class. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gxl...

I’m not saying we should shed a tear for the financial impositions faced by multimillionaires. It’s just an illustrative point that the billionaires have *so much* money. They have so much more wealth than you imagined. This visualization has gotten much worse since 2012: youtu.be/QPKKQnijnsM?...

I fostered a standard poodle for a few weeks & that mf was fiercely protective, opinionated, too smart for his own good, & also a big goofball. Also had a raging case of separation anxiety, but he was a covid puppy & had basically never been alone. Thankfully rehomed into another 100% WFH family.

Faine Greenwood@faineg.com

I FIRMLY believe the doodle trend can be laid largely at the feet of straight husbands who refused to get an *actual standard poodle* because “they’re dogs for girls.”

aahahahahaha a Dunkin's Boston Kreme is my partner's all-time favorite donut, this is going to make an amazing gag gift.

Instant purchase, and now I have an excuse to get lunch at Tommy's.

Signed copies of THE DISSIDENTS! All with title page sketches. The link is up! Once again, the fine folks at MacsBacks Books, my Cleveland HQ, will be handling the orders. Yes, they do mailorder! Purchase link below. @abramscomicarts.bsky.social #graphicnovels macsbacks.com/book/9781419...

Die Antwoord - Just didn't feel like it. In hindsight, probably for the best? Orville Peck - Got free tickets the night before, hadn't heard of him yet, and again, just wasn't feeling it. Out of curiosity the next morning I queued up his music and immediately facepalmed. Mitch Hedberg - He died :(

John Moe@johnmoe.bsky.social

How about this? Best concerts that you ALMOST got to see but DIDN’T. Include reasons if you like: Rolling Stones (play rehearsal) Johnny Cash (I dallied) R.E.M. (play performance) Nirvana (canceled, college declined to pay requested $500 appearance fee)

Oh, and most recently: Giorgio Moroder - Committed to visiting in-laws before the show was announced. Near miss: John Williams - Had tickets to see him conduct the Cleveland Orchestra, then covid happened. Thankfully the show was rescheduled 2 yrs later & I'd held onto the tickets.

Tim Curry played some great villains, but my favorite was his Lord of Darkness in Legend. Just so deliciously over the top.

Fucking hell it looks like a prop from a horror movie. That burrito speaks as a collective, whispering sibilance of dark intention, coiling around the darkest corners of your mind.

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

Tried this once with a group of college friends and had a shotgun pointed at us. Farmer... not friendly.

Happy for our Euro friends that get to experience the eclipse! Experiencing the one in '24 was just breathtaking.

What the fuck are we even doing?! This is insane, even for these fucks!

Trump: "Very importantly, vaccinations for hepatitis B, covid-19, and influenza, among others, are no longer recommended for all children"

LOL don't take me with you, I LOVE spending other peoples money, especially when motorbikes are involved.

If you take friends with you to look at a used #motorcycle you're thinking of buying, do they ask pertinent questions or become enablers? It may depend on whether your friends have Multiple Motorcycle Disease. Wendy Pojmann explains today at Common Tread. #motosky www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

I still think LeBron will finish his career in Cleveland, the question is whether he waits so long can he still walk onto the court or if they'll have to wheel him in.
