From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

“We will rebuild the White House as it was and pay for it by seizing assets from Trump, the Trump Organization, and his family.”
None of this is legal! People are choosing to break the law! Other people are choosing not to hold them accountable! What the fuck!!!
I'm thinking a winning slogan may be, "Demolish the Epstein Ballroom, restore the East Wing - and make Trump pay for it."

I love how there's enough budget for Noem to get private jets, Trump to demolish the East Wing, to build an arch, and for ICE to continue their march of terror...

...but there's not enough to keep SNAP for myself and others in 2 weeks.

Luxuries for the rich but no food for the poor.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x
My usual practice after having to look too many places to find a rarely-used object is to try to put it away in the very first place it occurred to me to look for it this time around.

General reminder:

It is less important to be able to recognize that someone is a fed or other bad actor infiltrating your movement

Than it is to be able to recognize the bad advice or suggestions that they provide.

Remember when i said we're living in the scariest parts of a Gibson novel thanks to a bunch of dudes who misunderstand Gibson's novels?

Well now I want to discuss the verified govt accounts spewing rightwing propaganda— possibly via a bot-run troll farm— & why you should block them for your safety.
Looks just like my mother's dog! I work nights so Trixiebelle is in bed with Mom the first half of my shift, but at the tail end of my shift Trixie's possibly lurking under my chair.

It doesn't matter how long you've lived in Alaska, a moose right outside the window of the conference room will 100% derail faculty meeting for all involved lmao
There are certainly some major questions regarding the loyalties of Elon's hacker boys. Wasn't this the guy who got fired from a previous job for selling insider information to a competitor?

In retrospect, perhaps trusting all of the government's systems and data to Elon Musk and his band of 20-year-old cybercriminals was not the smartest move.
New: hackers just doxed hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ officials. I went through the data. In many cases does look legitimate, sometimes includes residential addresses.

Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters—one of the latest amalgamations of typically young, reckless, and English-speaking hackers—posted the apparent phone numbers and addresses of hundreds of government officials...

Meanwhile I have so many Halloween shirts I'm trying to wear them all at least once this month. I may not be able to, so I'm focusing on the ones that live in the storage closet 11 months of the year. (My favorites get worn year-round.) This year they've been worn over biker shorts.
On Dallas we get our first cold snap of the year *sometime* in October and the kids with their thin costumes are just hoping we'll have a warm Halloween. There have been a few years where they had to have winter coats over the top. (Forecast for the month suggests a cold front hitting the 30th.)

I see that yellow solar power bar expanding each year, and I remember how solar panels appeared on roofs across my county after winter storm Uri broke our trust in the state's power grid.

the reframing of ICE and CBP from "dipshit agencies for losers and washouts" to Very Special Boys who get paid when nobody else in the government does must be creating an enormous seething vortex of resentment
Internal DHS memo shows Trump plans to keep paying ICE agents and Border Patrol officers throughout the shutdown, while other feds go without pay.

Even the DHS administrative staff processing the paychecks won't get theirs, employee tells me.

Trump Plans To Keep Paying Immigration Agents While Other Federal Workers Go Without Paychecks
The move amounts to special treatment for Trump’s favorite constituency within the federal bureaucracy.

One of the more interesting images from the NTSB report on the Titan submersible implosion.

Imagine you work in data recovery. You've got data off devices dropped from heights, driven over, immersed in water, lightly incinerated... then someone from NTSB rocks up and leaves this with you...
