A bloody baseball bat drips onto old carpet, presumably held by the person whose converse-clad foot we can see just a piece of. A “Written by Aiyana White” credit in white lettering.

This ad is absolutely beautiful and should be required watching for every Dem candidate and office holder. THIS is how you appeal to voters.

And they say there are no seasons in California…

A 12-foot skeleton and talking witch lawn ornament stand in the aisle of the local Ace Hardware. On the top shelf above them are a lawn snowman, two lawn deer, and a lawn Santa. And also charcoal for grilling. Seasonal chaos.

The “AI is inevitable, we should all roll over and take it” to “Actually I’ve been working/shilling for an AI startup this whole time” pipeline remains undefeated…

Almost never (me & Mr. White are both salty snacks people) but I guarantee the kids share theirs when we’re not looking😂

Willow has many questions, but most of them are “Do you have ice cream?”

Little guy, mildly annoyed to be watered in the flower bed.

Side view of a very long brown and gray alligator lizard glides across the dirt, only the first third of his body in the frame. Right arm visible, alien-like fingers outstretched. Right eye staring into camera like an old man who has just caught you on his lawn. #reptilesky

Having a lot of convos in which someone complains that “no one is doing anything.” May I humbly suggest:
1) Find some of the MANY people who are doing things.
2) Ask what they need.
3) Do that.

Lot of judgement from a guy who doesn’t know the difference between “you’re” and “your.” Congrats on winning by not dating him!

this meeting could have been a thought
that flitted across the mind unbidden

Don't believe a word coming out of these federal agencies' mouths. These are illegal, racist raids meant to instill fear in Democratic cities. www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/u...
