“He just made a lot of shit up about air traffic control,” Buttigieg says, after getting the kids to bed
Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?

A family around the corner cleaned up all their Halloween decorations but left just one skull sticking out of a bare lawn and it’s actually so much scarier

What did you do today? Probably not this
We captured 18 birds today and then we surveyed the colony for bird flu, which we thankfully saw no evidence of.

It was mustache day for Spirit Week at my kid’s school today and all I can say is he should have gone with a stick-on furry rainbow one — they look good on everyone
Chris Cuomo is trying to make this atrocious little mustache happen even though it looks like he drew it on with a ballpoint pen

What is wrong with people! You don’t have to tattoo “I AM A COMMUNIST” on your forehead, just give the most appealing new Dem candidate in years a quick phone call
Gillibrand says she is not doing interviews when I asked if she had spoken with Zohran Mamdani since his victory.

![Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”:
"wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buy3qvqcj3o76leo6ap7pn2p/bafkreifilfbsxemfsambf4kqwolr24ld2ekqcrz4ybgv3bv7kzi5e6kppm@jpeg)

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Read the replies — just crazy, income-devouring jumps in what people on the exchanges will pay for health coverage. I do hope Republicans and Dems who have made this possible understand the tsunami of electoral rage that’s about to hit them

Pretty sure Trump has never done this and wouldn’t know how
Just getting dinner onto the table for the kiddos, will deal with this later.
Trump: "We had a guy named Buttigieg. Boot-edge-edge they say is the best way. Just say two 'edges' like off the edge of a cliff — which is where they were taking us, by the way."

Children are always leaving their jobs, as are seniors, disabled folks, and um people who continue to work for places like Walmart and McDonald’s but can’t afford to feed their families
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

Why indeed
Ghislaine Maxwell is an unrepentant child sex predator. So why would an American President even consider commuting her sentence? This would be a national disgrace.
