Oh my God you guys Pluribus is so good.

Ad for Pluribus on a curved screen. It features an artist’s closeup portrait of Rhea Seehorn, in character against a yellow background. About 3/4 of her head is visible. She’s looking up, her mouth open and expression troubled. Her hair is windblown. The ad reads From the creator of Breaking Bad. Pluribus, new series Nov. 7. The I in Pluribus is a 1.

Hey, hey, this premiered tonight on Apple TV. My husband and a whole lotta friends of mine spent the last few years making it. It’s very good. You should check it out.

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

People seriously loved those aspects of her personality but as soon as the public and media felt like she was over-exposed any positive feelings toward her public persona got memory-holed. I always liked Jennifer Lawrence and I think it’s a shame she now feels like this about herself.

I was just thinking about this. It seems like she internalized a lot of the backlash against her popularity and that makes me sad, because all of the things she and her critics now classify as annoying were actually the things that had everyone wishing she was their bestie before the backlash.

I watched Kathryn Bigelow’s nuclear warfare movie last night and I feel like all the troll the libs types should be forced to watch it and think about what it means that Trump and Pete Hegseth are in charge of this stuff

Ep. 18: September to Remember October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID. In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in. How in the world are you going to check our voters? Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon. But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation. For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections. COMMON SENSE Vascluar

Ep. 18: September to Remember October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why? Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five. You talk about trade-off, right? COMMON SENSE Sanctuany

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Someone really should print out pocket constitutions with Antifa Handbook written on the cover.

Clearly not. That’s probably why she felt the need to tell people she was speaking.

I thought the large leaping spider would get me the best screams from trick or treaters, (and tbf it was highly effective) but it was actually the cheapo battery powered cockroaches I had running around my driveway that really did it. Solid #Halloween crowd tonight.

We can disagree about policy. But we should never disagree about whether a child deserves to eat.

We literally do disagree about this, though. Some politicians want to take food from children and some politicians don't. Pretending this "isn't political" just allows the child-starving ghouls to get away with it.

Tell people who supports the *political program* to feed children and who doesn't!

I live 100ft away from a retired House rep in his 80s who I see at least monthly at our neighborhood social; he has said to me almost verbatim what Duncan said here. Older members are terrified of walking away from the 20-person 24/7 support network you can't even get in a high end nursing home.

The plan for the evening is pumpkin carving and horror movies.

Steve Bannon Reveals ‘There’s a Plan’ for Third Trump Term Bannon divulged that there are “many different alternatives” for securing a third term for Trump.

i think editors should occasionally entertain the idea that bannon is just full of shit www.thedailybeast.com/steve-bannon...

Repurposed cheap mass produced double-sided clock compass. Side A contains a brown beetle on green moss, surrounded by lichen (yellow and green varieties) and small white flowers.

Side B contains a light colored butterfly on green moss. Underneath it are a variety of dried flowers, in white, yellow, and pink colors.

Bonus #ThingThursday: I found this double sided cheapo clock/fake compass at Marshalls that I pulled apart to remove the mechanism so I could put bugs in it.

It’s not lost on me that Cuomo, who has been repeatedly credibly accused of sexual harassment, is using AI-generated examples of gender violence to try and smear his opponent, who has never been accused of it

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

There already was an “I Hate America” rally. It was on January 6th, 2021. The President spoke at it.

Another spooky October project. #ThingThursday #Art #Beading #Embroidery

IRS employees asked to participate in White House-directed political targeting should remember that Jan. 6 foot soldiers were the easiest to prosecute.

Do you want to gamble your future on this criminal presidency lasting forever?

And yes, Democrats should make this threat of prosecution explicit.

would love to know where vought got the authority to shutdown a government agency established by statute

thank you brett kavanaugh!

Side view of a small ceramic pot with its top covered by embroidery fabric. In the center is an embroidered branch with a 3D printed miniature row perched on it and it is surrounded on all sides by small maple leaf beads in dark fall shades.

Top view of the project in the previous picture giving a better view of the crow on the branch and the colors of the leaves which range from purples to muted oranges and browns.

Spooky season embroidery and beading project that I gifted to my husband because he thought it was cool. 🐦‍⬛🪾🍁#art #beading #embroidery
