Really awesome that the White House now looks like an estate sale for the midtown apartment of a bond trader who killed himself after Black Monday in 1987.

YouTube video by Sarah Cooper How to cognitive

Donald: "I took– Those are very hard– They're really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests."

They are actually dementia screenings. And you are only asked by a doctor to take one if they notice cognitive decline.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Hey quick question: Don’t all these national guard troops have, like, real jobs? Isn’t that the whole point of a reserve force? Don’t those jobs need them to do stuff?

A man is dressed as a peacock with a spectacular spread of tail feathers attached to his butt. He has on black tights with bird feet, a royal blue shirt, blue paint on his face, a blue wig, and a masquerade mask with a peacock feather attached. Attached to his waist in front is another spread of peacock feathers and a bird's front body and head sticking out from his crotch. He is standing on a sidewalk.

A woman is costumed as a deep-sea angler fish, which has massive, sharp teeth and a long appendage on the front of its head with a bioluminescent light at the tip that is powered by bacteria. She is wearing a black leather dress and long gloves, has bright red hair, and a light-tipped appendage dangling in front of her forehead. Her chin is painted black and can't be seen against the dark background. Huge spiny teeth hand down from a strap running from her nose to the back of her jaw. The lower set of teeth is attached to her chest, so it looks like she has a huge, open mouth of daggers. A very cool illusion!

A man is dressed as a half-and-half Freddy. His right side is singer Freddy Mercury, with half a mustache, half a white tank top, an armband, and with leg in light-colored jeans and a tennis shoe. That hand is holding a microphone. His left side is dressed as Freddy Krueger from the horror film Nightmare on Elm Street. He's wearing half a hat, half a burned face, half of a red-and-green striped shirt, one black pant leg and a dark shoe. His left hand is wearing a glove with long sharp blades attached to the fingers.

A pregnant woman is wearing a white stretchy shirt with a baby doll attached to her belly underneath the shirt. The doll's two arms and a foot are poking through bloody holes in the shirt. One doll hand is holding a small plastic treat-or-treat pumpkin bucket. Baby couldn't wait to go trick-ot-treating!

Four of my favorite costumes I've seen online over the past few years. I'll never try to match this level of Halloween creativity.

Philip Larkin’s this be the verse mangled into Ozymandias, the text reads They Oz you up, your mandyias. They may not mean to, but they do. They give you vast and trunkless legs A sunken shattered visage too. But they were Ozzed up in their turn By Mandyias upon the sand Who half the time had wrinkled lips And half in sneering cold command. Oz hands on mandyias to man. Like mighty works atop a shelf Look on them early as you can Ye mighty and despair yourself

Good grief, he is impossibly handsome 😍

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

The non-military version of "stolen valor."

Citizens of Jamaica - We The People of the USA (the sane ones) apologize that we will not be able to help with any storm damage, from Category 5 Hurricane Melissa. TFG will not even throw paper towel rolls at you. Our uncompassionate government is currently starving our fellow Americans.

This year for Halloween, I’m going to go dressed as someone who’s tired and simply wants some precedented times.

The most unbelievable part of this is that again this was Yesavage's 8TH CAREER START. 8TH. People are talking about how we'll never see anything like Shohei Ohtani again but I think we see a pitch hit 50 homers again before we see a World Series Pitcher's Cycle

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

They're taking the hobbits to Isengard.

Ah yes, the old Philly shipyards. Stuff of legends.

The Daily Show is absolutely cooking Trump with this one.

Missing the days when, if a scary masked man approached us on the street, WE pepper sprayed HIM, not the other way around.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Ooops. Sorry. Velvet. Should have read the alt text first.

Gorgeous! What fabric is that?

A beautiful fawn pittie

Coming up on four years since I had to let her go. I still occasionally think I hear her coming to tell me how her day is going, scolding me if I stay up past my bedtime. They give you their whole heart, and you'd give the whole world if it meant they could stay longer.

Would very much enjoy the occasional headline that doesn't induce profanity followed by deep breathing.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'"

I've saved her some time.

Mhmm. Relentless monotony is the best monotony. Lucky you.

Watch the First Horror Film, George Méliès’ The Haunted Castle (1896) In literature, graphic descriptions of menace and dismemberment by monsters are as old as Beowulf and much, much older still, though it wasn’t until Horace Walpole’s 18th century novel The Castle of O...

Our bluebell woodland

Shivelight and shadowtackle

Fast changing shafts of sunlight piercing or filtering through foliage and the canopy of a wood

The words were created by the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins in 1888

You know when Terry Pratchett said 'It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works'? Yeah, he meant this.

I salute you for keeping green things alive. Some of us are unintentional unalivers of plants. Beautiful, peaceful space. Love it.

Hee hee. Yep, he never really did 'president', did he?

Not a clue. I don't think he recognized his own people when he went past them. It won't be long before he forgets how to walk. If only he'd stop talking.
