If an adult walks up without a costume and saya trick or treat give them candy. Or a beer. Or a trick. Whatever, enjoying being out with your neighbors.
A handy guide to the upcoming holiday:
If a kid is on SNAP and you've decided this is the one moment you're going to care: give them the candy
If a kid can't verbally say "trick-or-treat" : give them the candy
If a kid looks too old to be trick-or-treating: give them the candy
Hope this helps!

The French Prime Minister resigned on Monday, was reappointed on Friday and is threatening to resign again on Saturday. This is Guinness Book of Records stuff.

I certainly won’t discount the possibility of GOP ratfuckery at work here, but in KY we use paper ballots that are electronically scanned and retained in case there are issues. It’s a pretty good system.

And thus the Guamanian National Guard was federalized
BREAKING: "For all of the reasons" given in Saturday's TRO, Immergut grants plaintiffs' second motion for a TRO.
"Based on the conduct of the defendants, ... in direct contravention" of Saturday's TRO, the second TRO bars relocation or federalization of National Guard from "any state or D.C."

The last thing I want is a car that monitors my behavior. Especially if it’s made by Elmo.
Experts told me Tesla has gotten better at monitoring the behavior of drivers using FSD (S), which can't actually drive by itself
But amidst Tesla's Big Pivot to autonomy and robotics, it seems to be pushing drivers to use the feature exactly when they shouldn't

Tesla Is Urging Drowsy Drivers to Use ‘Full Self-Driving.’ That Could Go Very Wrong
The company’s FSD tech doesn’t actually self-drive. Experts say that advising customers to switch it on when they're drifting between lanes is exactly the wrong move.

What’s Uncle Roger doing since he retired from the plant?
I heard he has another job but he hasn’t said exactly what it is.

Can't stop thinking about the Anthony Fantano-ass ICE agent who dropped his gun and then pointed it at bystanders. Really replicating the Nazis' oaf-little weiner dichotomy

Been listening to 89x online for a few days. It’s excellent. Canadian modern rock feels just like midwestern modern rock from the 90s.
I feel like I’ve leveled up as a Michigander: I’m grilling in shorts while it’s in the 60s, listening to 89X, about to crack a beer and I’m gonna watch U-M tomorrow despite not going there
