Since Horror Month starts tomorrow, what’s a horror-comedy that’s awful but you love it anyway? (I’m putting together a view list. 😉)

Ha ha that’s gross and should make everyone uncomfortable, anyway, Rahm presided over a Chicago police black site, lied about what it was and then I sued the Chicago police for its records that proved it:

I have to seriously side-eye people who are okay with all the racism and homophobia and transphobia and ableism and more. I had a quarter of a million followers there and I waited too long. No one should still be on it.

As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it. Read more here: www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/va... Listen to a breakdown here:

The alleged existence of JD Vance's Bad Faith implies the existence of JD Vance's Good Faith. Which is a bad bet but which Kalshi would nonetheless allow you to place using borrowed money.

So despite having three months’ notice, and despite the fact that it was *out for delivery* on release day, somehow Amazon has declared my preorder of #FireEmblem #FortunesWeave Dagdan Collection “undeliverable” a week after it was supposed to arrive. They’re sold out, so it won’t be replaced.

Screenshot of an email from Amazon:

Your package cannot be delivered
Undeliverable
Unfortunately, a problem occurred with your shipment and we no longer expect it to be delivered. We're sorry for the inconvenience. If you have not received your refund within 5 days, please contact us.

Dems replaced action on trans rights with hollow statements, then dropped those statements, then embraced anti-trans rhetoric. Now supporting anti-trans laws and blocking pro-trans ones. At every step the "they're betraying us" radicals were correct and "be patient" liberals were completely wrong.

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

Shouldn't it be Batman Night? Anyway, happy Batman Day.

A city street at the pinkest part of dusk. A dude in the fanciest coat you've ever seen is hanging out with his boyfriend in leather pants. The sweet coat dude turns to see Batman strolling down the street, cape flapping fabulously in the breeze. The coat dude flirts, "Hiya, Batman. Nice night for a stroll." Batman ain't DTF, though, so he simply walks past, while greeting them with a, "Gentlemen."

Thinking about the people who only preordered #FireEmblem #FortunesWeave from Amazon, still seeing this message two days after release (despite Amazon having 3+ months’ advance warning from preorder date to release date), not knowing when or IF they’ll ever get it.

Screenshot from an Amazon “Order details” page. It says:

“Estimated to arrive by September 19
Fire Emblem™: Fortune's Weave Dagdan Collection
We’re sorry for the delay. Your package is still on its way, and we estimate that it will be delivered today. We’ll share any updates as we get them.
