I was watching "The Front Page" from 1931 and just realized the walls of the press room at the prison are plastered with pornographic pin-ups. They're slightly out of focus, but they're very much in keeping with the whole misogynist vibe of the gang of reporters in this film. #TCM

Adolphe Menjou in a nice hat, on the wall behind him is a drawing of a naked woman with a card reading "TRIED AND TRUE" pinned to the top of it.

Adolphe Menjou, Edward Everett Horton and Pat O'Brien having a discussion. On the wall behind them is a selection of naked pin-ups.

Adolphe Menjou letting some air into the roll-top desk where the fugitive is hiding out, more naked pin-up ladies on the wall behind him.

So it's ok for us to start shooting up heroin now?

Florida newspaper clip reading: With the support of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo on Sept. 3 announced his plan to end all school-age vaccination mandates in the state. "Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery," he told a cheering crownd of vaccination foes in Tallahassee. "Who am I, as a government or anyone else," he said, "to tell you what you should put in your body?"

All this weird shit going down… sometimes I just have to find something normal… where‘s my USA Today?

A busty white woman wearing a red hair bow, red Mary Janes and a white sundress with red flowers sits on a kitchen countertop. The photo caption reads: “Elaina St. James, now an adult content creator on OnlyFans, says she used to be a ‘trad wife in training.’”

GOP gets more of a Horst Wessel martyr vibe again.

Screen grab of part of a Rick Scott email.
Headline: "Sen. Rick Scott Leads Unanimous Passage of Resolution Designating October 14th National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk"
Copy: "Senator Rick Scott on the Senate floor called for the passage of his resolution honoring the legacy of Charlie Kirk by designating October 14, 2025 as a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk, which passed by unanimous consent. The resolution is cosponsored by Senators Tommy Tuberville, Jim Risch, Bill Cassidy, Mike Crapo, Dan Sullivan, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Bernie Moreno, Pete Ricketts, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, Lindsey Graham, Mike Lee, John Kennedy, Marsha Blackburn, Tim Sheehy, Ted Cruz, James Lankford, Steve Daines, Ashley Moody, Markwayne Mullin, and Deb Fischer. Congressman Jimmy Patronis is leading the companion resolution in the House of Representatives."
Then a photo of Senator Scott, apparently at his seat in the U.S. Senate.

This is why "poll results" are total bullshit. City wants to kick them out. Duke Energy sucks is how I've been responding. After spending about ten minutes going through a long survey, I'm presented with this choice. Give us this pro-Duke answer, that pro-Duke answer or click the loser button.

An online poll two-choice question about whether the city I live in should take over the electric utility from Duke Energy.

"Which is a better reason for the city to keep Duke Energy and reject a government takeover of the electric utility?"

"(This question is mandatory)"

"Option 1: Our local government taking over the electric utility from Duke Energy will be extremely costly and end up increasing our taxes and electricity bills."

"Option 2: Our local government taking over the electric utility from Duke Energy will put is in danger of unreliable service and slow power restoration when the next hurricane strikes."

Option 3 is to click a button "Exit and clear survey".

I ride by the nearby Coast Guard station nearly every morning, and I have never seen a group running before today. Hegseth effect? Or just something I missed?
