It's October so I am once again sharing my favorite spooky story: in Central Ohio, local governments team up to ban kids from tricking or treating on Halloween* - not a dystopian YA novel but reality! Sign and share my petition to end this nonsense. * when it falls on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday

When did wearing the band’s merch at their concert stop being a faux pas? Unlike wearing jeans to work, I think this is a good change! Progress!

The problem with Love is Blind is that the participants are way too attractive. So setting the next season in Boston is smart work from Netflix.

My surgery was delayed, so I am going. By myself. It's a Mellon Collie specific tour and I am pre-emptively mad they are going to play the worst 2.5 songs off the album (Take Me Down, Stumbeline, the bloat intro to Porcelina) to give the drummer a break. bsky.app/profile/rust...

I, until just this moment, thought that the "woman yelling at cat" meme was actually a woman yelling at a cat (or was at least a screengrab from the woman yelling at someone nearby).

Every recipe I made for my mom while she was in Ohio for the week: First, Alton Brown's fussy Chicken Parm. The sauce takes over an hour. You have to buy two cheeses and vinegar chips. It's the best Parm you've ever had, but is there such thing as a bad Parm? www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alto...

Oh hell yes: Ohio House Democrats want to pay for Vivek Ramaswamy's gas tax holiday nonsense by repatriating the $600 million handout to the Cleveland Browns.
Minority Leader Isaacsohn: Pay for Dr. Acton's Gas Tax Holiday
with the $600 Million Republicans Tried to Hand to Jimmy
Haslam, Not Ohio's Road and Bridge Funds
COLUMBUS — Ohio House Minority Leader Dani Isaacsohn (D-Cincinnati) today
released the following statement ahead of today's rushed announcement by Republican
legislative leaders and gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, which follows Amy Acton's
call to suspend Ohio's motor fuel tax:
"Ohioans are paying $4.52 a gallon for gas and almost $7 for diesel. They desperately
need relief from the costs of the failed war in the Middle East. Vivek Ramaswamy's
knee-jerk response to Dr. Acton's plan has demonstrated no understanding of how the
state government works, how the budget is structured, or how taxpayer dollars should be
spent.
We can enact Dr. Acton's Gas Tax Holiday, but it has to be paid for in a way that makes
sense for Ohioans. A gas tax holiday could be paid for with the $600 million the
Republican legislature has tried to allocate to billionaire Jimmy Haslam for his NFL
team.
The state is in court right now, spending Ohioans' money, fighting for the right to hand
$600 million of Ohioans' unclaimed funds to Jimmy Haslam. A billion dollars of that
money was written into this budget for sports stadiums.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a girl wakes up in bed. Groggily, she says, “ugh… did I put the snacks away?” Panel 2: upon entering her kitchen, she discovers two human-sized cockroaches wearing bathrobes making themselves at home. One is using her coffee maker and the other is sipping coffee from a mug that reads “Best Granddaughter”. There is an open bag of nacho cheese chips on the counter.

the actual order of events from 2020-2024 gets strategically jumbled by reactionary centrists all the time. They love to blame 2024 on wokeness while skipping over the fact that Dems won in 2020. They talk about early COVID Iike it was a failure of Dem policy when Trump was in office.

I just keep coming back to one question: If being 2 1/2 games out of a playoff berth with 51 games left is a selling position, what is the value of that playoff berth? Why are we letting 40% of the teams into the playoffs, deeply undermining the regular season, if this is how teams act?

One thing you can see in the latest Stancil blowup is that a sizable share of this website thinks that good intentions are the only thing that matter in policymaking, and expressing skepticism that a policy will really work as intended is equivalent to stealing food from the poor.

Pay the toll
Two panel comic. Panel 1: a knight in armor rides valiantly on the back of a dragon through a mountain valley. Panel 2: the dragon is sitting facing a wall, parked next to some cars in a small, dingy parking lot. The knight is straining slightly to shield his eyes from the sun as he examines a sticker-covered sign displaying the parking payment info. There is another one of these signs behind him that reads “parkTroll” and features a little app logo of a grinning face of a troll.
