Of course, you have to balance this with the fact that National Whatever Day means whatever you want it to mean. October 14 is already National Dessert Day, Be Bald and Be Free Day, Ada Lovelace Day, Own Business Day, and National I Love You Day.

GOP gets more of a Horst Wessel martyr vibe again.

Screen grab of part of a Rick Scott email.
Headline: "Sen. Rick Scott Leads Unanimous Passage of Resolution Designating October 14th National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk"
Copy: "Senator Rick Scott on the Senate floor called for the passage of his resolution honoring the legacy of Charlie Kirk by designating October 14, 2025 as a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk, which passed by unanimous consent. The resolution is cosponsored by Senators Tommy Tuberville, Jim Risch, Bill Cassidy, Mike Crapo, Dan Sullivan, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Bernie Moreno, Pete Ricketts, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, Lindsey Graham, Mike Lee, John Kennedy, Marsha Blackburn, Tim Sheehy, Ted Cruz, James Lankford, Steve Daines, Ashley Moody, Markwayne Mullin, and Deb Fischer. Congressman Jimmy Patronis is leading the companion resolution in the House of Representatives."
Then a photo of Senator Scott, apparently at his seat in the U.S. Senate.

Congratulations to this year's #WPOTY winners. 👏📸

With ghostly urban landscapes & rodents stealing the spotlight – this year's images are truly striking, detailed and thought-provoking.

A haunting scene of a brown hyena among the skeletal remains of a long-abandoned diamond mining town. The light glows orange around the building next to the hyena.

A longhorn beetle in a logged forest, the beetle sits in the bark of a tree in the bottom left corner of the image. To the right and blurred in the distance is a disused yellow digger amongst the trees.

A comical and perfectly timed shot showing a ladyfish snatching its prey from right under this little egret’s beak, above the surface of the water.

Black and white image of a Eurasian pygmy owl in a tree, holding prey between its legs.

Yeah, but you get the gist.

The gist is he’s just nuts, and he’s running us into the ground.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

This is why "poll results" are total bullshit. City wants to kick them out. Duke Energy sucks is how I've been responding. After spending about ten minutes going through a long survey, I'm presented with this choice. Give us this pro-Duke answer, that pro-Duke answer or click the loser button.

An online poll two-choice question about whether the city I live in should take over the electric utility from Duke Energy.

"Which is a better reason for the city to keep Duke Energy and reject a government takeover of the electric utility?"

"(This question is mandatory)"

"Option 1: Our local government taking over the electric utility from Duke Energy will be extremely costly and end up increasing our taxes and electricity bills."

"Option 2: Our local government taking over the electric utility from Duke Energy will put is in danger of unreliable service and slow power restoration when the next hurricane strikes."

Option 3 is to click a button "Exit and clear survey".

Los Angeles (and California cities in general) restaurants need to stop trying to be neutral and stop feeding ICE and DHS. Let them starve or we bankrupt the restaurants. Choose a side. ICE will leave eventually but your restaurant needs community to succeed.

Chicago is doing their best to give Trump the finger. I'm rooting for the Cubs now (would rather root for the White Sox, but you take what you can get.)

Love this. Great parade idea for when ICE and DHS comes to town. THE GESTAPO ARE COMING! A old American tradition of calling out tyrants
