First trick-or-treaters arrived and I've had my candy selection dissed already. (Only the Skittles were acceptable; the Milky Ways and York peppermint patties are unappealing.)

"ABC hopes you will stop cancelling your subscriptions"

Is it sculpted from butter?

Neighborhood pyro is celebrating Labor Day Eve.

So I greeted my fellow players with "Happy James Dobson Is Still Dead Day to all those who celebrate it" and everyone was celebrating it.

Whenever anyone says "efficient," always ask: efficient at doing what? (Moving more money up to the people who already have lots of money, usually.)

Delightful with the sound off. Mind-blowing with the sound on.

Teaching children about the existence of queer people is a public offense, but teaching children about the existence of dildoes is a public service.

The Republican Party would rather cut taxes for the rich than pay down the national debt. The tax cut will cost $4,000,000,000,000 over ten years. No one is bothering to pretend that the cuts will pay for themselves. They never have, over the last 40+ years, and they won't this time.

Use your head to save your heels.

Chokepoint Capitalism by Cory Doctorow and Rebecca Giblin talks about how corporations capture creative workers, and what can be done about it.

Leverage: The Rashomon Job

Finishing 2023 rereading my Ali Hazelwood collection for the third time in under 6 months, which is a thing I have never done before with books.

Just found a woodpecker clinging to the gutter and tapping away at the underside of the soffit. I'm guessing this should get filed under "things a homeowner would rather not see."

Happy Take Your Leftover Halloween Candy to Work Day for those who celebrate
