Got to see an old friend today. He drove into LA from Texas for a family wedding. I got to meet his 14-year-old daughter, too… who wasn’t even born yet the last time I saw him. My friends should stop having children who are that old. It’s really very inconsiderate.

I'm humbled and happy to announce that Brimstone & Blades just won THREE BookFest Awards: LGBTQ+ Fiction -- Winner YA Fantasy -- Winner YA Fiction -- Winner Great thanks to the judges and hearty congratulations to all the winners this year!

Okay, so I guessed wrong: it was Timothy Mellon. Why are you listening to me anyway?

The “anonymous” donor helping TACO break yet another set of laws is, of course, Musk.

This sweet doggie is still available! The shelter is over capacity! His owner(s) have not materialized! He is a good boy! Any connections with pit bull rescue in the Los Angeles area? ☹️

Dear Hispanic-American citizens in California: This is how terrified the administration is of you voting on Proposition 50. But you don’t have to go to the polls on Election Day and risk being beaten and kidnapped. Vote by mail. Vote early. You have options. Don’t let the DoJ suppress your vote.

So the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute now believes Reagan… did not support free trade. Like the vast majority of Republicans, who all used to be in favor of free trade until TACO told them they’d better support his huge blanket taxes-on-US-consumers-I-mean-tariffs or else.

Given that—assuming civilization is still around in a few decades—they’ll be referring to MAGAts as “the 21st century’s equivalent of 20th century Nazis”… Dems who still support Platner because they think he’ll be a reliable vote should consider whether they’d feel the same if he had a MAGA tattoo.

Sen. Ted Cruz amplified social media claims that MSNBC recycled 2017 footage, falsely saying it showed Boston’s ‘No Kings’ rally. But Oct. 18 videos from four Boston area television affiliates prove the footage is from this past weekend.

President Obama is right. Democracy is on the line. Calling on Californians to vote YES on Prop 50 to protect fair representation and stop extremists from trying to rig Congress. This is about keeping power where it belongs — with the people. Sign up to volunteer: 👉 gavinnewsom.win/50-volunteer

Why doesn’t Platner just run as a Republican?

Social media users shared a video of what they said was a “No Kings” protest in the United Kingdom as if it were real. In addition to having an AI watermark, it had other inconsistencies, such as people without arms and legs.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it.” —The Liar-in-Chief

Alas, although the White House was formally designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, it is one of three buildings that the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 specifically exempted from the National Register. So there’s one law that TACO’s demolition probably doesn’t violate.

When did “performative” become an insult? Asking for the 2,437 actors I know personally.

Californians, this is it. In honor of the No Kings protests and to protect democracy, get that Prop 50 ballot in and vote YES. Remind your friends, your family, and everyone you know—democracy only works if we do.

Found this poor little guy wandering alone in the Tujunga Wash between Sherman Way and Vanowen. Collar and rope leash, but no tags, no ID, and no chip. Very sweet, not even a little bit aggressive (‘cos I know pit bulls get a bad rap). Halp! 24petconnect.com/DetailsMain/...

Colombia investigates the second boat of civilians that TACO ordered bombed into oblivion, and concludes that it was indeed just a fishing boat, and that it was in Colombian waters and had a distress signal. President Petro officially requests an explanation from the United States. TACO’s response:

After 13 years as first a contract writer, then a salaried writer, then a lead writer, then a senior writer at InXile Entertainment, I have been laid off. I had a great time while I was there, and I am sad to go, but as they say, every ending is a new beginning, so here's me, beginning again.

STAY SAFE TODAY

Guess the GOP is expecting to lose, and they have only the same old card to play: scream that the only way they could possibly lose is if the Dems cheat and rig the election. Hey, it worked for TACO. P.S. Yes on 50

TACO has commuted the criminal sentence of a former Congressman, expelled and then convicted of fraud and identity theft. Not because the felon was “treated very unfairly” (TACO’s go-to bull$#!+ justification) or “loves America,” but for only one stated reason: that he “ALWAYS VOTE[D] REPUBLICAN!”

TACO has ordered Senate Republicans not to negotiate with Senate Democrats. And Mike Johnson has sworn to keep the House out of session until the Senate passes the GOP budget. Blaming the Democrats for this shutdown is basically a nationwide version of “Why are you making me hit you?”

“Political opposition is not rebellion.” —United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, ruling unanimously against TACO (even though he appointed one of them)

TACO conclusively solves the trolley problem. (by lying about it)

Good thing I’m not a Democrat. Otherwise I’d be a violent criminal, apparently. Well, I guess if you define “criminal” to include everyone who doesn’t adhere to TACO’s every whim… We already know that they define “violence” to include simply watching them. (Hat-tip to @theerinmaher.bsky.social)
