Daytonians need to know that the beef tallow people have taken Dorothy Lane.

I mean I'm still going to buy those deli egg rolls, but know that I'm pretty mad on this topic.
It is pretty funny that every major AI platform (which I admit! I use sometimes in narrow purposes!) will gaslight you regarding what files it can and can't handle.
French Jewel Thief is such an easy Halloween costume, and right in time, just another way these guys are absolutely a-okay in my book

Important reminder that if I know you and you have a baby in a Halloween costume, it's actually international law that you send me a pic of that pumpkin baby
But like I kind of get it. If you're old and live in Miami County, Republicans built most of our public works (often with the sweet stolen valor of federal grant money, but still). And I think being super pro-business is easier if you come from a time when the businesses were primarily local.
I don't know how you change that, but I don't think showing up as opposition party is going to work in the suburbs.

I'm in for Andy's 80 percent for 100 percent messaging, maybe.
And frankly, I think it's because the HQ usually mails out those sample ballots. Plus, 90% of our elected officials are Republican.

For people in red areas who want good government, but the GOP *is* the government. They Make Things Go. It's not an issue of messaging but of simple, like, validity.
I got her address and gave her the BOE info for her precinct. Three levies! "I always vote for those. Lot of rich people in this town, and they should have to pay their fair share."

One Democrat running for something, not voting for him obviously.

This is the vast majority of voters in my town.
Every October, a handful of folks will appear at City Hall looking for the Miami County GOP headquarters (which has no physical building in off-years, and is never on gov property lol).

Usually they're looking for a sample ballot. So I print the BOE one.

We had a delightful older lady yesterday.
I miss Marchand in Boston, but he's accomplishing two things I love for the sport:

1. crimes
2. losses for Florida
Brad Marchand lost his cool against the Sabres, mauling Rasmus Dahlin and then stealing his helmet and ripping the straps off before throwing it onto the ice. In the process, he contributed to the Panthers' fourth straight loss:
Brad Marchand steals, destroys Rasmus Dahlin’s helmet during Panthers-Sabres game
Marchand ripped Dahlin’s helmet off and took it with him to the penalty box.

Sparked liberal outrage with some post about Dax Shepherd, according to breathless reports by the New York Post lol
I think it's fun that Twitter is full of Liberals Angry About Kristen Bell, but BlueSky isn't, because *~we don't have the bots yet~*

There are more guys on heaven or earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy, etc.
I need folks–those participating in protests, those bitching about protests, those opening an old white guy barber shop in my neighborhood–to understand that the cost of professional signage is really quite low.
Trump on No Kings: "It's a joke. I looked at the people. They are not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs I guess paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small. And the people were whacked out."

I for one do think it's possible for America to find a president better than one who, faced with claims he is dumping shit on Americans, posts a video showing himself dumping shit on Americans.
Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

This just reminded me of the time in high school when my friend and I convinced our other friend that we had gone leafpeeping in New Hampshire together over the weekend and he got absolutely furious at us. I still don't know if it was because he felt left out or because we kept saying leafpeeping.
[guy who invented the term “leafpeeping” on his first time looking at fall foliage] okay, first of all, this needs to sound much more perverted
