So for the second year in a row, I had no trick or treaters here in the Gulch. I assumed it’s because I live on a hill, and also have a steep driveway. Turn off the porch light and voila, no kids. Well, I forgot where I am. Alfred actually has a ordinance on what streets kids can trick or treat on, and I am outside of the Halloween zone…
Links?
Just because you have nice tits doesn’t mean you can yell at the cops.
It’s lizard people all the way down.
I’m pretty sure Vlad and Xi are going to sit this one out.
Okay, that’s it for me. Weekends have been shitty for news, especially with the morning Link vomit coming from OM. Peace out, Glibbies. Ima cook some pork chops for l0b0t and myself.
I like how the pic shows that if one wants to, one can be sitting on the commode in the “Lincoln bathroom” with the shades up in full view of the Treasury Building, etc.
Also, from same article “Truman redid the room in 1945, shortly after taking over the presidency…” Well maybe, but then in ’48 he demolished the whole thing except for the exterior walls.
Bring back the original chamber pots.
It’s for your protection. You don’t have to be okay with it.
Nancy Mace, the South Carolina Republican congresswoman, unleashed a tirade against law enforcement at the Charleston International Airport on Thursday, WIRED has learned.
While I could see Mace doing the Mean Girl act that seems to be the only way to get street cred on the Hill these days, I’m kinda wondering if there’s something that set her off that WIRED isn’t telling us.
Coming home from the grocery store a little while ago, I saw something I had not previously noticed. A house with a skeleton about fifteen feet tall in the front yard.
SKELETON SMITH?
There’s like three or four of those in the neighborhood.
I don’t get it, but whateves.
They seem either to be about 3/4 size or giant.
I’d take a couple between 5’6” and 6’5”
And none of those dumb spider skeletons. Those are an affront to entomology.
Well, we now know what is bugging 3door.
One of the things that arachnids me this time of year.
You’ve only got one in your neighborhood? I’ve got at least a half dozen who leave them up year round.
Well, it’s easier for ’em to vote Blue when ya don’t have to keep unearthing ’em.
Paging Pope Jimbo
“Look at what we did around here,” said Nasra Hassan, a community health worker whose family came to Minneapolis fleeing Somalia’s civil war, speaking one day after the Trump administration slashed the number of refugees allowed into the United States. “Because of us this place is thriving.”
Minnesota’s large Somali community was among the immigrant groups that helped revitalize the Lake Street corridor, which has long called out to newcomers to America. But scattered across the city are other communities and many other businesses built by refugees. They came to escape violence in Mexico, and war in Myanmar. Recent years have seen them arrive from the Congo and Ukraine.
“Where would America be without us?” Hassan asked.
Well…?
““Where would America be without us?” Hassan asked.”
A better place?

“‘We just had an asset go down. We had an asset go down,’” Arnu recalled. “This is not Creech security. This is Area 51 security, and they had an asset go down. Then the next thing you hear, UAV, unmanned aircraft, unmanned aircraft with ordnance.”
I’m still going with Chinese Spy Barroon until told otherwise.
You don’t expect me to Swallwell that story, do you?

That’s one ugly pumpkin.
My morale is deflated.
I like how the pic shows that if one wants to, one can be sitting on the commode in the “Lincoln bathroom” with the shades up in full view of the Treasury Building, etc.
The toilet paper dispenser should be filled with $100 bills. Or thirty year bonds.
LBJ didn’t need no stinkin’ shades (or doors) on his latrine. Indoor plumbing was for sissies and ladies.
That’s not Nancy Pelosi?
The document also says any face photos taken by the app, called Mobile Fortify, will be stored for 15 years, including those of U.S. citizens.
And if you believe that in 15 they’ll be destroyed, I have something I’d like to sell you.
I really don’t care if they keep mine for 15 years. Kind of waste of space, though.
We should all wear 4score masks!
The Monster Mash. Excellent.
Now I want mashed potatoes.
Pork chops? Yum.
Bone in?
Loin?
Stuffed?
Thin cut, bone in. Coated in seasoned flour and then pan fried with pan gravy. Fucking outstanding.
Chops are one of my favorite things to finish with a pan sauce.
The good thing for you is you can raid OMWC wine cellar. A different sauce every time.
^^^^This is how you euphemism.
Talking to the neighbors, apparently we had over 150 TrT’s on the street last night. Glad I went dark!
Our place in Dubuque, Iowa, we stopped counting at 700. I ran for more candy 3 times.
That’s a lot of marble.
Looks slippery.
Better not invite Dennis Prager over.
Oh JFC. Why is everything in current year so fucking stupid?
What the hell?! “has a ordinance on what streets kids can trick or treat on”
Forget it, Jake, it’s Proggietown.
They must have forgot everything the psychology classes taught them in developmental.
Tell a jr high kid he isn’t allowed to do something.
Unless, the last generation had that beat out of them in the schools these jerks run.
They’ll go after the residents handing out candy, not the trick or treaters (or their parents).
So they’ll pull a reverse prostitution and go after the candy-whores instead of the tricker-johns?
For the children! But not the ones on Kiddie Stroll in LA. (Thanks to whoever linked to that New Yorker article. Very good story. Nothing will happen, and I don’t think we wonder why.)
That *is* the most disgusting bit. Combined with the reality ‘no one’ gives a shit and is likely ‘proud’ to enforce. “Can’t be too safe!”
The Progtopia in small towns reminds me of (when he was damn good) Tim Burton towns in Scissorhands or Beetlejuice, with the simpering townsfolk cheerfully pleased with themselves. yeeesh
Carmel kinda has that vibe, but mostly cuz I don’t know anyone and feel greatly outta place, here. Older, established wealthy folk and rich Colts and Pacers living close by. Irsay’s selling one of his places and IIRC that’s within 5 miles of here as crows fly.
lolwut
I hope Illinois Fats signs it. I want to see SCOTUS bitch-slap him into next week.
🍿🥤
“Illinois Fats” – I’m stealing that.
My “discussion” today, with the questionnaire, was a 30min countdown to answer ~8 paragraph -length questions about my “proofreading style” and history with it. Texted with a hiring human to set it up. She has been consistently excited by me. Within a few minutes of sending it in, I was complimented again and told I’m to talk to her and her team at 8am on Monday. I’ll take the day off from Walmart, so post-churched blues may strike the masses, leaving me in no position to protect Drake from the swarm.
Her responses kinda make it sound like I’ve got the gig. “You’re exactly who we’re looking for” type shit, and the immediate push for Mon 8am team-talk on Teams, and telling me the office shit they’ll get for my remote office?
Um. I’ve been offered nothing yet, so nothing for sure. But signals emanated out from her, and not the ‘sensual radiation’ variety (sadly?). Sensual Radiation sounds like a ‘younger brother’ and more subdued opening act for Prince.
This *may* be a distinct swing of direction, in a most appealing manner. hrm.
Hope things go well.
A little late replacing Ohtani.
Evan likes this ballgame. I got my Game 7, it’s been a damn fun game so far, including the benches clearing, and the team I’d rather lose is losing.
Has been much defensive fun, as well, and it’s anything but ‘resolved.’ I’m awfully glad the time gets turned back, gaining an hour of sleep. (I’d put money on there being confusion tomorrow in the am, with some folk not adjusting and losing out.)
The SkyDome is seriously lacking an organ & player.
I detest how most parks just play radio versions of shit. Organ only, were I Baseball Lord Commander. Play modern songs (with* the organ. That’s fine, dandy and fun. Part of the allure of the ballpark is the throwback of it all.
Yes, me+Wrigley, bias, indeed. But I’m not wrong.
You know who else is missing an organ?
Ohtani should never have started. Dude is way tired.
Absolutely true. They had several options. I also don’t like how the umps gave him extra time to warm up cuz he’s oh so special. If you’re gonna hit for…
oh my. Ballgame intensified mid-typing. This pleases me so, especially cuz my boys ain’t in it.
The sad part is the losers aren’t losing. Seriously, fuck those bitches. Trying to get hit, whiney manager, looking to game the game. I don’t like the Dodgers, nor hate them, but I do like fair play and good character, and Canadians don’t have that. (Except maybe Vladimir)
Fuck that.
wut
Sorry, I had written that right after the bench clearing. It was obvious that Andres had tried to get hit, kind of a weak move in my eyes, and I never liked that manager. But the Jay’s played damn good ball other than that, and it was one hell of a series.
I do think, as I alluded to, that Vladimir should get MVP for this game. Just all around good playing by him.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Regarding the morning link about Mexico demanding and getting an apology of sorts from Spain for their colonization of the territory…beyond the obvious that no one today was alive for that, how many people in Mexico are actually “native” with no Spanish ancestry? Who are they actually apologizing to? How many people in Mexico, particularly among the wealthy elites like in their government, have ancestors who benefited from colonial rule?
The appology should have been “Sorry we didn’t let your ancestors rip all your hearts out and wear your skins as cloaks.”
Went to a taco shop today. Ownership has changed and the quality has plunged. Tacos were microwaved.
Front door has a sign that ICE and immigration agents are prohibited. Just like covid inspectors five years ago. Until public accommodation laws are repealed, I’m not sure how a space generally open to the public can be closed to ICE specifically. Or that such a sign isn’t in itself an admission that illegals are present inside.
Meanwhile the shop has security cameras up the wazoo and signs for no trespassing generally, citing state/local laws. Funny how they’re all about enforcing the laws when it’s to their own benefit.
Did they put the Ritz on too?
Report them.
Deport them all.
You have no expectation of privacy in public. My problem is with all the cops over the years giving grief to people taking their photos/videos and they are ‘public servants’.
Declaring anywhere a ‘law-free’ zone seems….iffy, to say the least.
No.
OT- YouTube has been serving up various documentaries of WWII EPW camps in the US, mostly made by state public Tv stations in the 80’s or early 90’s. Wild to see how many had Germans revisiting their decades old experience.
Wakey wakey. Clocked in n ready to rock. Taking tomorrow off for Big Interview Pt II.
Kinda possibly my last day here, w Tues/ Wed off anyway. Hrm.
Damn good WS and Game 7, but… But …. Eek. Glad it wasn’t my boys.
Here are a couple of tunes from Tuxedomoon:

Enjoy the day!

DST is stupid. And I have too many clocks.
Agree wholeheartedly. DST is a plague and a blot on the Earth.
The time change always sucks, and the clock nonsense twice a year is annoying as hell. The one in the car is the worst, with the microwave a close second.
Pfui and bah humbug
I used to set the clock in my old Ranger half way between the two times. I knew it was off, but it let kept me from having to reset it every time.
God, did that drive my wife crazy.
I have a couple wall clocks, in addition to the others. Tough for me to reach them, tougher to hang them back up.
DST has no advantages, a game of pretend to try to fool adults and Mother Nature. It doesn’t work.
Concur.
Good takedown of the whole DST nonsense.

LONDON (AP) — A routine railway journey was plunged into chaos when multiple people were stabbed aboard a train speeding through eastern England.
Two men have been arrested over the Saturday evening attack, which left almost a dozen people injured.
Police are still working to uncover a motive, but say it doesn’t appear to be an act of terrorism

Good on cops, actually. Armed cops there in 8min and two in custody. UK born Caribbeans.
That nation is fucked, when this seems pretty regular, casual.
