What’s great is that on a world-historical level he’s going to be known for centuries as one of the neediest humans to ever live.

Trump received a made up "Man of the Century Award" during a Republican campaign rally in Iowa. The award was invented by Joe Mitchell, a Republican congressional candidate. Mitchell made up the awarded and introduced the recognition himself.

This is like when you hear of the death of some famous actor who you would have guessed had passed away long ago

The Devils (’71, Russell): If I was religious, I would cite this as an example of a great religious film, of showing what fortitude against evil looks like. (Not my first viewing)

This _should_ be a multiple-career-ending scandal.

BREAKING: Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help.

Seems weird that in the month of October the only horror or horror-adjacent wide releases have been Beware Boiuna, Other Mommy, Whalefall, Crawlers, and Clayface. Two indie flops, two genre-straddlers, and one hit, they call that “leaving money on the table”.

“This fucking guy.” - Zelensky’s body language

The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com

⚡️Zelensky, Rubio discuss critical military systems amid US-Ukraine tensions. "I am grateful for his readiness to help and his clear position," President Volodymyr Zelensky said after the conversation.

This is code for “there will be a CGI Swayze ghost”

Hey Californians! Ballot measure 40 institutes a tax on billionaires--ONLY billionaires--to fund health care for the rest of us. Ballot measures 41 and 42 were funded by billionaires and will INVALIDATE Prop 40 if they pass. Also prop 39 is aimed at restricting voting rights, fuck that one.

This sounds like it’s designed for those guys who think they could fight off a bear or a thousand crows etc.

"Dark Tourism" is a thing in China: "a company in Hangzhou is offering simulated disaster experiences ... at a 200,000 square metre facility ... they simulate extreme weather conditions like typhoons and mudslides, giving participants the experience of what it would be like in a disaster."

NAZA (’26, Abraham/Szor): I could be mistaken but I’m pretty sure the caption at the very end reading “Israel’s war on civilians in Gaza is ongoing.” is in the same font Marvel uses at the end of its movies to say “Spider-Man will return.” or whatever.

Okay, this is a “Who among us…”

JUST IN: President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, has been busted at least twice in Southern California for driving while using her phone. Read Tomo Chien and @matt-hamilton87.bsky.social’s full story: buff.ly/W0pEHYF

It’s so funny that these guys think answering a question with “I’m a dope, I just do what phone tells me” is a flex

the GOP candidate in Stefanik’s district, NY-21, asked about the highest city in the district he’s running in. straightfromthehut.substack.com/p/a-rebrand-...

I would love it if this was impeachment #3 although I suspect that will end up being something more abrupt.
