Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

The Official White House Snub Watch has begun!
I'd be very curious what ADL's funding sources are at this point, and how they have changed over time.

Growing up I recall them having broad support, often crossing political divides. Now they just seem like a coalition of the Netanyahu government, Zionist Jews, and the worst Evangelicals.
(At least the final years of Reagan had a capable team working together with a more-or-less unified--if shitty--vision of government. This is a handful of viziers with unaligned and often contradictory projects running in parallel.)
*works great for the looters, pillagers, and would-be authoritarians, not so much for Americans or the world, in general.
They're not really hiding that Trump is no longer capable of fulfilling the duties of the President due to his cognitive decline.

They're just giving him fun activities while they do whatever they want and simply not talking about it.

It's a plan that works great* until it very suddenly does not.
Chris Hayes: β€œMaybe this guy is just immersing himself in redecorating projects and overseas parties in his honor while Stephen Miller builds a secret police force, and Russ Vought illegally seizes control of all government spending, and Marco Rubio plans a military adventure in Venezuela.”

β€œIndividuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. β€œBy that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

‼️ ICYMI: Amazon Ring announced a partnership with the notorious surveillance tech company Flock, which was recently exposed for secretly sharing camera data w/ ICE & law enforcement investigating people who travel for abortion care.
Mesothelioma attorney ads continuously running on Fox News to ensure they're played in the White House...
Doesn't bode well for the candidate's ability to run a Congressional office, though...

I maintain that every one of these people should be forced to live on SNAP for a month.
Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

These people have civilian jobs. It's one thing to mobilize them for an emergency or a legitimate war, another thing to send them to American cities to stand around and mill about. You're messing with people's careers to further a hostile and idiotic agenda.

Sometimes that failure may have been unavoidable by the time you arrived. But it's still a failure. Spend six months driving a desk thinking about how the situation could have been prevented.

If we run out of officers on the streets that just shows the magnitude of the failure.
The State using force against its constituents is, at its most basic level, a violation of the core principles of democratic governance. The State exists to serve the People.

If you unholster a weapon or in any way violently interact with the public, you have failed as an agent of the State.
Any member of law enforcement who so much as unholsters a weapon--lethal or non-lethal--should, minimum, be flying a desk for six months, even if an investigation determines force or threat of force was necessary and, critically, unavoidable.
Once again putting out there that the bar for charging someone with assaulting an officer should be rather high and the bar for charging an officer for assaulting a member of the public should be extremely low.
Should phone scammers who prey on seniors be in charge of the US government?

Survey says, "Yes."
Anyway we're currently a country being run by a trenchcoat full of senior abusers.

And while the particular senior in question deserves no sympathy, it's pretty fucked up that ~40% of American voters seem to believe that that's an acceptable situation.
If you have older people in your life facing cognitive issues, they frequently tell you about tests they're taking and treatments and self-care, and how it's all going well.

You know it's a lie. They might, too. But you leave it be because they're retired and deserve comfort.

They're not POTUS.
Which is not to say the great many people he's harmed don't deserve justice, or that we shouldn't seek it, given the opportunity.

But we're past the point of Trump being capable of understanding any punishment he may face.
