Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

What a great few weeks it’s been for people once pardoned by Trump. @nytimes.com @nbcnews.com @npr.org @politico.com

Luka Doncic is averaging 40 points per game

Immigration agents should, at a minimum, not be permitted to touch US citizens. If a citizen is legitimately, physically interfering with an interdiction, call the real police.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

the victims of our extrajudicial killings: "residents and relatives said the dead men had indeed been running drugs but were not narco-terrorists or leaders of a cartel or gang" drug smuggling is not a capital offense

things that arent the future of civilization - chatbots - crypto - robot butlers - cars that sorta drive autonomously as long as youre paying attention for when they fail and almost kill a bunch of people things that actually are the future of civilization - free clean energy

A Border Patrol agent who shot a woman five times on Chicago’s Southwest Side later bragged about his shooting skills to friends: “I’m up for another round of ‘f--- around and find out.’” chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Arch Manning in a Warby Parker TV ad. First time I've seen this (college athlete in a paid appearance), though probably been a thing for a while.

Douthat's entire function is to launder voices that are intellectually and morally vacuous in the pages of the New York Times.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

The World Cup is going to be a shitshow for the ages

The conundrum with Douthat is that a representation of the MAGA philosophy is newsworthy as long as Trump occupies an outsized role in the govt. But if that philosophy is represented truthfully, it literally isn't fit to print.

The Republican challengers in NJ and VA had conventional resumes, and made no obvious tactical errors, but whatever helps the big guy sleep, I guess.

Heartbreaking: Under Trump's ICE terror, a 2-year-old Chicago girl was tear-gassed while walking with her mom-burning eyes, screams of 'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.

our CEOs don't believe humanity should exist which is why we come here today and ask for a government backstop as we strip every last resource from earth for fascismbot 2000

I'll bet chicks liked it when Bushmiller went surrealist

Taylor and Leigh are both androgynous names, so that's a smidge of progress

Think locally tonight's result makes it more likely that John Cornyn fends off Ken Paxton in the primary, and hence that Republicans hold the seat. Alas

MSNBC was just talking about Bernie Sanders' tenure as mayor of Burlington but didn't mention that it included a camoe in the forgettable film "Sweet Hearts Dance" in which he welcomes kids to his house on Halloween and gives them candy.

I would love for it to be a third-rail rule that if you fantasize about or make light of violence against your opponents, your political career is over. But since there clearly is no such rule, I am frankly glad that a Democrat has gotten away with flouting it as many elected Republicans have.

Amen!

Does MarkWayne have any idea what a dipshit he looks like

The Halloween plot seems to have been real; the plan was to shoot up gay bars in suburban Detroit. So congrats to Ka$h for more MAGAs behind bars; let's hope Trump doesn't pardon them.

slapping fannies and killing grannies

The only truly devestating interview you could do with Trump is a series of factual questions asked by someone with no affect: “How does a bill become a law?” “Name three countries where American troops are stationed.” “Will you be raising tariffs on Wakanda?”

Hey "values voters", these people you voted for are laughing at you if they think about you at all

Mildly interesting that the first Japan-born World Series MVP was not Ichiro Suzuki (iirc he never made it) or Shohei Ohtani.

Three hops out encompasses so many people that a strike predicated on that degree of association is an indiscriminate strike.

So Gimenez sticks his hand out to draw the HBP, then is actually hit by the next pitch, and reacts warmly believing (probably mistakenly) that it was retaliation for his bush-league move. Thus the benches clearing; for the explanation, you're welcome

Both World Series starting pitchers (Shohei Ohtani and Max Scherzer) are locks for the Hall of Fame.

Spectacularly bad call on that Vanderbilt 2-pt conversion

We gave out cookies (Nabisco, packs of 4) instead of candy last night. They were a big hit with the dozen or so trick-or-treaters we had.

Get the hell out of Evanston.

Even the deeper-red parts of the region are rejecting it.

Happy for Mookie Betts however this game or the Series goes

Please, Fox: Rush is not the only Canadian rock band #WorldSeries #MLB #Toronto

I definitely won't be watching

The likeliest thing about the "drug boats" is that they fit a profile, but the likelihood is nowhere near a certainty. That's why they don't stop and board: if they didn't find anything, it would (rightly) call into question all of the people they have already killed.

I guess skin-tight black vinyl pants count as mourning clothes?

This is why I shit on the supposed religiosity of anyone who talks like this. For how shall ye know a tree, but by the fruit it bears

It *would* be hilarious if Platner won in Maine, then proceeded to vote straight-ticket woke to live down the Nazi tattoo.

Got to melt them down

Minority view, but Tucker Carlson is almost certainly nowhere nearly as influential with his podcast as he was in prime-time on basic cable. The same goes for Glenn Beck and Megyn Kelly; they are among the biggest podcasters, but they are in the end mere podcasters.

There has never been, in 237 years, a person who won a single delegate from either major party who was/is unfit to be president as Donald Trump.
