It’s not even Halloween and the grocery store already has eggnog!

Article is paywalled. Can anyone summarize this?

My mother lives in a suburban-style home with large house and plentiful driveway. Some neighbors park blocking the sidewalk even with the empty driveway, just so someone can scoot around into the garage on that side.

Racks of various kinds of cakes.

I’m suddenly remembering that being an adult means I can buy a cake just for the hell of it.

Finally, as someone who spends a fair amount of time talking with reporters about current events, I have noticed that, as a group, reporters are getting less and less interested in whether this or that Administration action is legal.  Law has limited value as predictor of what this Administration will do.  And with the Supreme Court so frequently overriding lower courts’ injunctions against the Administration’s lawlessness in minimally reasoned Shadow Docket orders, even many of the brightest and most capable reporters seem to feel little need to sort through statutes and caselaw.  I do not share their skepticism, but persuading them that law matters is getting more and more difficult.  That by itself is a fundamental change in our constitutional order.

@davidasuper.bsky.social has an interesting piece up on Balkinization, at the end of which he makes the point that because the administration is breaking the law so much of late, journalists are starting to be less interested in even reporting what the law isβ€”

Hey #Outback, the suggested tip chart should be from pre tax total not post tax!

Uh, for those of us who were occupied with other stuff all day - what happened? What’s the context?

Would they buy the books back at the same price? Or will it be like selling back college textbooks?

That’s from his personal account. I wonder if the voting machine companies can go after him, too?

Didn’t realize this but one of the fallen trees is also partially blocking a road.

Apparently a power line is down, too (which explains why we are in the dark). 911 has been contacted.

Tree downed smashed through wood fence in rainy weather.

Just had front seat row to multiple lightning strikes on trees in someone’s backyard. Very impressive display of power by Mother Nature.

Truckers will complain about it. Are there alternative routes? I’m not sure how busy that road is.

Concentration Camps. Use the proper term.

I remember the saying that by the time the heads meet, most of the actual work had been done behind the scenes - the flashy meetings are just a formality. Trump people didn’t do the work beforehand.

This is really bugging me. The roads look pretty empty. I don’t know what’s going on outside the frame of the camera but if I was driving a road like the one apparently shown, no way I’d expect to see a thin barrier. Doesn’t excuse the driver but come on, there should’ve been more visible barriers.

TBH, I don’t think the barriers are that visible especially if in line of sight with the crosswalk paint. But… definitely should’ve seen the pedestrians. May not have been expecting pedestrians there given the light or if distracted by environment (ie other pedestrians, activity, etc.)
