Wow - double-digit Halloween kid visits for the 1st time in 10 years - and they were all rewarded - full size 100 Grand bars

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

To be fair I was at an 8th grade reading level when I was in 3rd grade, so there was nowhere to go but down

They made an Emmanuelle movie in 2024?
And Naomi Watts and Will Sharpe are in it?
And (channeling my inner prude) it’s on at 1 in the afternoon?
And it’s on HBO, not Showtime?
And I’m asking questions instead of watching it?

And that is all?

Part of me is thinking ‘Is there really wood in the batter, or are people just chewing through the stick and then complaining about the splinters in their mouths?’
Also: I want a corn dog now.

Post a concert photo you took.

Anyway, good luck beating the brand so famously good at PR they bounced back from their products literally being poisoned by a serial killer.

sort of hard to reconcile “believing the rapture will be tomorrow” with “having opinions about vaccine policy for kids who aren’t born yet” until you factor in that nobody actually believes the rapture will be tomorrow or ever

Panel one: A woman informs a man that "The Bone Farmer" has died. Panel two: The man recalls "The Bone Farmer" as someone who stole skeletons from people's homes. The woman replies, "So sad." Panel three: The woman then expresses admiration for the deceased's "tenacity" and "smart l'il bowtie," despite disagreeing with his "ideology" regarding "skeleton ownership." Panel four: A third person, Geoff, a soup of boneless buddy parts floating in a tank, expresses disagreement with their sentiment, only to be told "Too soon, Geoff!"

I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie."

THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.

I know I’m not telling anyone anything new here, but this is a massive “Show me who you really are” moment for America’s mainstream media institutions: Faced with a naked authoritarian power grab, the Washington Post has decided to look for ways to normalize rather than oppose the regime.

Nonfarm Payroll Employment: Revisions between over-the-month estimates, 1979-present

For people saying these jobs numbers revisions are "unprecedented", here's a record of previous revisions back to 1979. Triple-digit downward revisions aren't common, but they've certainty happened before. www.bls.gov/web/empsit/c...

Okay, *now you can start to worry about data being manipulated.

I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today

I’m loading up as the song builds up - and go all-in as the song goes into overdrive

Lehrer's performance is sampled in the track "Dope Peddler" by U.S. rapper 2 Chainz on his 2012 album Based on a T.R.U. Story, (2) In 2013, Lehrer said he was "very proud" to have his 60-year-old song sampled. His response to the request to use the song was "As sole copyright owner of 'The Old Dope Peddler', I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this. Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz, or may I call him 2?" [21

Just realized I haven’t seen anyone post the Tom Lehrer-2 Chainz letter yet today.

a good arbiter of how close we are to bad hybrid regime shit is if the political comedy shows start getting pulled for whatever reason

Spoiler-free Superman comments:
I doubt anyone will admit this for obvious long-term job security reasons, but Nicholas Hoult is totally channeling Tom Cruise for his Lex Luthor - the vibes are rolling off him the longer he's on screen.
