We are begging our government to stop torturing us for a few days to let our children enjoy Halloween
Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Unclear what this means for Oakland and other Bay Area communities. Little is known about the DHS operation Trump ordered.

Trump people: oh ok so I’m going to destroy one of the country’s most cherished historic buildings in a “look what you made me do” type tantrum reminiscent of that abusive guy who freaked out on you when you tried to dump him.

It’s kind of wild that after seven million people were in the streets protesting, the president posted a hallucinated video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on Americans and then proceeded to start demolishing parts of the White House

When a story about questionable journalism ethics meets an embarrassing copy desk error
Clint Eastwood accused an Australian publication of running a fake interview with him. The quotes, though real, were pulled from several past interviews — not a single conversation.
Did that Clint Eastwood Interview Happen? Yes, Kind of.
Eastwood, 95, accused a small Austrian publication of running a “phony” Q. and A. with him. It turns out the quotes were aggregated from previous interviews.

Guess the Thursday volcano tour probably isn’t still happening then?
Tourists on the Italian island of Sicily were forced to flee on Monday from the slopes of Mount Etna, one of Europe’s largest and most active volcanoes, after an eruption sent clouds of gas, rock and ash billowing into the sky.
Mount Etna Erupts in Sicily, Sending Hikers Scrambling for Cover
Videos circulating on social media showed visitors rushing to descend the mountain as volcanic plumes rose overhead.
