- The yard sign is up. The decal is on the car. My mail-in ballot arrived. This shit is real.
- Eric Adams gets indicted for not reporting luxury travel paid for by others, while Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas smirk.
- If anyone continues to say they don’t know Harris’s positions on issues, it’s out of willful ignorance at this point. Her programs are far more detailed than Trump’s, whether you think she’s done enough interviews or not. Trump’s “Fear the Migrant/Raise the Tariffs” policies will somehow surpass lost income tax revenue while simultaneously increasing worker pay, providing universal child care, funding IVF for everyone, eliminating the entire federal deficit AND lowering consumer costs. Plus tax cuts. And Trump will do it all with five loaves and two fishes.
- Not one dollar of federal aid should go to Florida for Hurricane Helene until the state government commits to restoring lessons on climate change into school curricula at every level.
- Trump: “The US economy is horrible! It’s terrible! No one can buy anything needed to survive like food and Twinkies anymore!” Also Trump: “Buy my new $100,000 watch!”
- Nearly four years ago to the day, Donald Trump said that if voters elected Joe Biden, it would “destroy our country” and “We will go in depression.” Today, the Dow hit another new record and first-time jobless claims hit a four-month low. Maybe he was using the “royal we.”
- A $1.8 billion gift from Michael Bloomberg reduced student debt at my alma mater so much, it now ranks last in median education debt for students among national universities. That’s how billionaires should use their money. As some unremembered television commentator said, “I miss the days when all the filthy rich just wanted was their names on museums and libraries.”
- Social media sometimes makes me wish I was illiterate.
- The US crime rate is going down while the number of migrants increased. So it wasn’t all the migrants who caused the spike in the crime rate in 2020, eh? Maybe they’re not the ones that should be deported to make the nation safe.
- As a one-time actual and currently ersatz journalist, I’m not shocked by Olivia Nuzzi e-canoodling with RFK Jr. (I am nauseated by it, but that’s a different issue.) Reporters and subjects getting involved isn’t unheard of. But a reporter sexually involved with a presidential candidate during the goddamn campaign
- Do you think JD Vance intentionally gets his wife mad at him so he can spend the night with on the couch?
- Somehow I think a real estate developer who continues to sell silver coins, NFTs, sneakers and Bibles while his billion-dollar social media company teeters on the brink of failure and he faces multiple criminal charges after being convicted of 34 felonies, isn’t taking the job he’s applying for seriously.
- I need to restart making eggs for breakfast on a weekend morning. Nothing fancy: sunnyside up with a side of toast. Scrambled or an omelet if I’m feeling particularly ambitious after coffee. The weather will soon get cool enough when it will be ideal.
- I’m not sure what kind of astronomical or astrological sign it is, but Earth picking up a second moon for just a couple months before the election can’t be a good omen.
- If it’s true that the Tangerine Tyrant thinks “asylum seekers” at the border means they’re people released from mental asylums in their home countries, isn’t not too far of a reach to think Trump also believes the “trans-national gangs” Kamala Harris speaks of in policy addresses are violent groups of trans people forcibly initiating people into their gangs by performing sex changes at schools.
- I’m really looking forward to former teacher Tim Walz schooling Yale snob JD Vance on how to communicate to the American public during Tuesday’s debate. It’s gonna be wild.
