Remembering how one of the amusing conceits of the BUFFY television series was that Halloween was when all the soulless demons and vampires actually took the night off.
Noem rejects Pritzker request to pause ICE operations for Halloween
Pritzker's Halloween request, first obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, came four days after ICE agents fired tear gas in the Old Irving Park neighborhood as families and children walked to a Halloween...

A reporter will ask a conservative politician why they were caught holding a bloody knife near a murder scene and they will say “nah-ah, that’s a gotcha question.”
And then they turn around and yell ZOHRAN MAMDANI’S AUNT IS NOT HIS PARENT’S SISTER!

Have felt oddly compelled of late to watch clips from HELL’S KITCHEN, a show I never watched once while it aired, and I think it’s because I’m finding it cathartic to watch Gordon Ramsay scream obscenities at people and hold them accountable when they’re so clearly fucking things up.

Being a guy who is interested in both modern cinema and presidential history means that I have an odd, unexplainable feeling about the concurrent careers of two actresses named Mikey Madison and Maika Monroe.

We need to convince Trump that he doesn’t want to be king or dictator, but pharaoh.
Then, when he dies, all of his servants should be entombed with him.

Every time Karoline Leavitt goes to a restaurant, she should be brought something she didn’t order.
When she complains, she should be told “oh, we assumed you were lying,” before turning briskly and walking away.

What has become evident is that if an American city ever actually were attacked by hordes of violent gangsters, ICE are not by any means prepared — tactically, mentally, or physically — to handle them.
If your city is invaded by schoolchildren, journalists, and clergy, though? LOOK OUT.

The Chicago River just got clean enough for swimmers to use it and now they’re polluting it with the filth.
A government communication reviewed by the Sun-Times showed that a request was made to have several Border Patrol and ICE boats and vehicles use the Chicago Harbor Lock as part of Operation Midway Blitz.

Saying you feel “vulnerable” on a stopped escalator in one of the most heavily guarded buildings in New York only makes it seem even less likely that you felt in danger the day you were almost assassinated.
Not saying. Just saying.

It’s possible to manifest hate in your heart and still be a good person.
It’s not possible to *hold* hate in your heart and remain a good person.
And regardless, the hate itself will never make you a good person.
