In the worst case they're just after some free sweets. You know, like us at the office snack bowl.

If you come to my door during trick or treating hours, I'll offer you candy. I'm not paying attention to your age or costuming, I'm following the traditional Celtic rituals for keeping the dead from invading my home.

Best run country in the world. Its not close. Took the North Sea bonanza and built a fund to care for the people for the future. No one there is going to want to move here

I still feel like all the street parties when Biden was declared the winner were just memory wiped. But we could have that again.

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

🧵Spotted at the Ngatimoti Festival in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (5?) with curly red hair, glares with absolute outrage at bucket full of peonies. Pointing with UTMOST accusation, she roars: "LOOK AT THOSE SILLY FLOWERS!" She does not truck with floral frippery.

just posting this image of Niu Lai with no text in response to AI boosters from this point on. He is the perfect mascot for anti-slop.

This is also deeply funny. Part of the pitch of AI is that it would be cheaper, and they burned through the budget of an indie film with nothing to show for it.

How does an AI generated film even have a budget? What are they spending 1.5 million on?

Seeing how little coverage that house report that added another rape accusation to Trump's tally got today, I looked back on just the front page Benghazi stories (there were many, many more inside over these months).

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

Still amazed by how much he just looks like a clone of his father, this boy from Brazil.

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, with degrees from the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia. 84% of Rhodes Scholars are Democrats or Independents, compared with just 14% Republicans. It’ll be great having Abdul in the Senate.

James Earl Jones knows she’s not here. To my surprise, it’s Jennifer Aniston consoling him. And then she took care of Justin.

Sia IS HOME!! Not fully on the mend. Her liver problems are not sudden. They are serious. One cancer has been ruled out. Two cancers and/or hepatitis remain. Moderate cholecystitis and mild pancreatitis. She cannot walk or hold her bladder. We will guard our hearts hoping for the best outcome.

The Defense Secretary shouldn't be a racist drunk, and the HHS guy shouldn't be an antivax eugenicist, and the Secretary of Education shouldn't be a sex pest loving corrupt professional wrestling scam artist. But the person who tells the press that the President is visiting Lithuania? Low stakes!

It's a great party game--"Okay, you've been arrested and your phone is dead, how screwed are you?" I honestly really only know my kids' numbers and one of my grandkids' because I pay that bill lol.

I remember! Iniquitous, but illustrative for anyone who thinks rent seeking behavior is a new thing.
