california democrats hire this queen immediately

the hubris of virginia republicans thinking they had a shot in a state brimming with current and former fed workers whose lives have been made miserable by the leader of the GOP

As Mitch Hedberg said:

I think we should only get 3 honks a month on the car horn. Then, someone cuts you off, you press the horn, and nothing happens. You're like, "Crap! I wish I hadn't seen Ricky on the sidewalk!"

Ugh, I can’t stand waiting one second longer (for more JJ McCarthy content)

Immaculate Grid Football with the Frank Gore tribute today. Not sure why other than maybe Gore is a Halloween-ish sounding last name, maybe?

He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies. “I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida. “I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor,” DeBlasio told Semafor Wednesday evening. “So I just gave him my opinion.”

I’m crying

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Seemingly?

“The Vikings have had a tough time the last 4, 5, 6 weeks…” so, you mean… the whole season???

On the bright side… I do not regret my decision to not go to this game. So there’s that.

Chat, is it good to have 18 rushing yards going into the 4th quarter?

It’s Brosmer time America

Hey JJ McCarthy, maybe stand a little further off the sideline. You very nearly got injured again just watching the game.

My time on Cochran Ave is soon coming to an end. And so I put the Conan plaque back up earlier this month. Today Team Coco shared a pic with the caption “I’m very fond of my neighborhood” on Instagram Stories.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

I hope Delta is paying Vitamin String Quartet handsomely for the amount of play they get on their flights

Vikings are 3-3 on the season — and 3-3 in games I’ve been to at U.S. Bank Stadium. This one was brutal, but not the worst (that still goes to Bills 27-6 in 2018). Made worse by the boatload of Eagles fans. Now I get to hear E-A-G-L-E-S chants all night. Thanks Carson Wentz!

Back inside US Bank Stadium for the second time in three days (saw Paul McCartney here on Friday) and my very unscientific estimation: an obscene amount of Eagles fans here. Skol Vikings!

The opposite of complicity Why showing up matters and what it can actually do.

I wrote about how all the beautiful dumb stuff really does matter, and why you should come out for No Kings Day on Saturday.

Column | D’Angelo showed us what the 21st century should sound like His visionary R&B music — from “Brown Sugar” to “Voodoo” to “Black Messiah” — rearranged our ideas about timelessness.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

And then a fumble right after so whatever

Did the Vikings just return a punt without a flag???

Yup.

Great story. Can't overstate the desperation in creative industries right now. Nearly every person I know who previously had a viable, or even lucrative, career in media/entertainment is in a financial panic, leaving longtime apartments, desperately taking any work they can find. It is really bad.

Death. Taxes. A holding penalty on the Vikings special teams.

QB controversy incoming. Cam Akers for QB1. Skol Vikings!

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

Seven months of unemployment = seven months of weird conversations. Some good, some… not so good. I wrote about how employed friends can make those convos a little less awkward.
