A simple ghost costume can be real cute

Emily "Babe" St. James @emilystjams.bsky.social · 1h

The vast majority of the Child's toddler pals want to be ghosts for Halloween, and when I asked them why, they said, "I like when kids are ghosts," suggesting they don't have a firm grasp of ghost mythology.

Maine, the choice is between the mega popular former governor and the guy who admires Mr. J6 Fistpump. I know this will be a hard one for you guys but I have confidence you'll choose wisely.

Josh Hawley.

Josh fucking Hawley.

Does this guy not know that Hawley's a fascist and a fraud, or does he not care?

there's a lot of left bros who keep dreaming of the day Daddy Trump will embrace them and his populism will turn to the light side, they tend to see Hawley as a populist fellow traveler, the rest of us see him as a fascist little worm.

It's insane how much this is the universe actively giving everyone who claims to regret having promoted Fetterman a redo button to prove they've learned literally ANYTHING at all since then, and so many people are sprinting to run face-first into the same exact wall.

Yeah, look the Fetterman comparison could be totally unfair! Different guys, different circumstances etc. But it would certainly make me feel better if any of the Fetterman boosters turned Platner boosters showed like the slightest bit of caution or epistemic humility this time round

My view remains that it’s good for Maine to have a contested primary and very silly to polarize yourself on a race where it is *absolutely pivotal* that the winner win the GE no matter what, but man the shades of Fetterman are so strong in all this lol.

The Frog is the best thing to happen to American politics all year, but the fact that politics has devolved into Posting is ultimately a bad thing.

the episode felt pretty halfbaked. the only sketch that really hit imo was the legal experience one because of how well it escalated and how different and silly each new legal team was.

Reports are conflicting but it seems that Hamas has gone to war with the Doghmush clan in Gaza City. Many reports of sieges, arrests/kidnappings and deaths on both sides. The Doghmush clan did NOT work with Israel; they're just a rival power in Gaza.
