But my friendsโ€™s brotherโ€˜s kids had a kid in class who accidentally ate a Mary Jane gummy and immediately got hooked and quit school to follow Phish on tour.

I donโ€™t know that Giuliani support is necessarily going to win over voters these days.

He gives me a Fetterman vibe. Trying to get Dem support, but I have no confidence that he will not swing over to the grifters if elected.

The dichotomy of US politics: a third string Dem misstates a detail in policy and media bashes the whole party as incompetent, but one of the top leaders of the GOP seems utterly clueless about anything and it only merits a shrug.

Blue Dogs Are Spotted at Site of Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster Blue dogs have been spotted at the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The dogs' fur is bright blue, per Clean Futures Fund, but the hue likely isn't due to radiation.

Several blue dogs spotted near Chernobyl disaster site- and not a single Democrat among them*

Pets usher in Day of the Dead, are remembered with photos, toys and treats People are honoring their pets on Day of the Dead with ofrendas, a tradition thatโ€™s becoming increasingly popular in the U.S.

Dรญa de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is approaching and on Monday observers will celebrate particular loved ones: pets.

Pet-specific ofrendas are becoming increasingly popular in the U.S.

I promise, you have my solemn word, as one who is here in the PNW, who was just in Portland, that city is NOT burning down. It is still there, and I might add, very nice.

Itโ€™s kind of funny to be thousands of miles from home and look over to see your old friend* just hanging out. Why hello there, @scalzi.com

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops.
I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.
The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Itโ€™s weird that my community cannot seem to keep stores selling useful necessary items in business, but can somehow support two Spirit of Halloweens in the same mall parking lot.

A good dog on duty in San Diego. Looks like he was trained in vapor wake for those who are interested in such things.
