Look, I know it's just weather, but rain in the Bay has me looking forward to warmer coffee, more sweaters, and sleepier cats.

Some swearing and cartoon violence. Not nearly as gnarly as, say, Rick & Morty, but still more than I'd show anyone younger than 12 or so. The vibes are way less cynical too.

Ok despite the curse of looking 75% like a lot of other Netflix animated series, Haunted Hotel is QUITE good. Will Forte hamming it up, every character finds a good groove pretty quickly, and the setup has a lot of room for varied stories.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "
