Reading the news every morning Estragon: I can't go on like this. Vladimir: That's what you think

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Happy I get to use this again

Favorite genre of photo: Backstage shots from Universal horror movies

And I was worried #Crew96 were going to play tired today. Thinking about how Abou Ali had 5 goals in 500 odd minutes before his injury and what this offense will look like next year.

Scrolling for a movie, saw Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, an idea too stupid to contemplate. But Pride & Prejudice & Vampires? Now we’re cooking! A mysterious stranger rents a long empty mansion, exciting the attention of all the local young ladies. It writes itself!

It’s 2026, I’m begging you people to stop exposing me to the thoughts of Matthew Yglesias. Just let him be weird and wrong alone in his corner.

All My Libby Holds Came Through At The Same Time Again - The Michael Morrison Story

Looking at the timeline this morning and don’t make me tap the sign again.

Who do we think made the bee coffin in Dracula? The Count himself? How did the bee become a vampire? So many questions

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

The National Review of all places is doing actual journalism to prove Vivek is a liar?! Buddy I don’t know

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

Not to get all Pauline Kael, but it seems like 90% of the people I follow on social media are seeing The Devils this weekend. I can only assume it’s going to make $100 million at the box office.

A summer job that was supposed to be menial office stuff but was actually standing in front of a trough of aluminum lipstick tubes and putting them on a conveyor belt of prongs so they could be anodized (made shiny) and it was second shift. Didn’t come back after day 3. Waited tables instead.

I just watched Hangover Square for the first time this week, really good sort of proto-slasher with an interestingly sympathetic villain.

That thing’s a flying car in the same way this is a hoverboard, which is to say, not in any way.

John Brown makes me think of the Mark Twain quote about the Reign Of Terror. If you’re upset about violence why would you focus on Brown’s and not “that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves?”

One of my favorite days was while visiting a friend in Chicago three of us drove up to Milwaukee, got curds at the Mars Cheese Castle, ate lunch at a bar inside a house, toured the Miller brewery then caught a Brewers game. If the Dodgers had to lose, at least it was to them.

Evergreen

A SHADOW STAINED WITH BLOOD (Massimo Cazzioni, 1976) In the midst of a viral outbreak, a deranged killer disrupts the orgiastic “pandemic party” at an Italian media tycoon’s isolated Mediterranean villa. Bernardino Zapponi’s script was adapted from Poe’s ‘Masque of Red Death.’

11 year old me would be very excited about this news. My favorite book for a few years there. Much later my dad and I took a fishing trip up in northern Saskatchewan. We had to take a float plane to the camp, while I didn’t have a hatchet you best believe I had hold of my Leatherman the whole time.

Come on! Let's shag ass!

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

“I am the god of Boa Island. I am the first god of the first people. I have two faces. I know the past I know the future.” Seamus Heaney in 1972 on the ancient gods of Northern Ireland from the BBC Archive.

Don’t think Misiorowski is pitching a Maddux tonight.

Really liked the Odilon Redon exhibit at the Getty, perfect for Halloween, his prints are dreamlike and uncanny, full of castles and monsters. Good stuff

Had an early birthday dinner for the youngest and just finished an incredible meal at Lasita. Best Filipino restaurant we’ve been to in LA. Great food, great service. Kids loved the chicken inasal, but the pancit with lechon might have been my favorite. Gonna remember this one for a while.

I think I had this on my Trapper Keeper in 4th grade.

They don’t call it the Surfliner for nothing
