The Omen / Horror of Dracula double-feature with some lovely boys, ghouls, and gals followed by vampiro tacos at midnight with my Son of Sam was a superb start to spooky season.

I've been covering the death penalty in depth for a dozen years now, and few nights have been as disturbing and dispiriting as tonight. This was a moral, ethical, and legal failure on several different fronts from many different actors. It wasn't *just* SCOTUS, though they sure were a key part.

After SCOTUS allowed Tennessee execution to go ahead, Tennessee botched the execution

SCOTUS, over the liberals’ dissent, cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike. The alarming order from DC was followed by even more disturbing developments in Tennessee.

This performative dork flubbing his lines underscores that he's just a failed theater kid rejected by people he admired for talented folks he believed beneath him. An entire administration of insecure little boys.

It's not enough to just take this shit down in 2.5 years. We've gotta desecrate it. Flip it over and turn it into a halfpipe. Make the sides of it a dog park so something can piss and shit on it. It's the only way out of this. President AOC, I will make this happen free of charge.

This sounded especially bizarre to me. So I looked it up. Duffy seems to have confused the EPA ending a credit for “engines that automatically turn off when vehicles come to a complete stop and restart when drivers take their feet off the brake pedal” with the START buttons that are now universal.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

I wonder if racist white people on the socials can see how many Black folks are crashing out for Dolly and if that makes them think. I know you might be thinking “racists whites don’t care about Black folks loving them,” but beloved, they truly do. More than you know.
