Doing my October thread of a horror movie I like a day again! Not much thought beyond “you should watch this”. Enjoy!

Really prime Toddler Logic here. He’s such a spiteful idiot.

"Many of you who covered me ... were salivating at the thought that Eric would go to jail for 33 years. So don't start asking me about what I think about [Letitia James]: I want to know, what did y'all think about when my life was destroyed in this city. And I wish I had a mic so I can drop it."

Really the same thing: You can’t say the game is played one way all year and then switch it.

Like it’s either part of the strategy of the game now or it’s not. Make up your damn minds.

Lotta casual fans wondering why there wasn’t a guy in second for the last few hours which allows me to restate my belief that you shouldn’t have one rule for 162 games that just goes away after that because you’re still unsure about it

Hard to swallow as a Tigers fan but one of the best games I’ve seen in my 50 years. My kid said like an hour ago that it was a game he’d never forget. Baseball history. Also my fave ALCS matchup in years.

I just said honestly to a question asked by my son about something earlier, “I don’t remember anything before this game.”

The primetime sports ball for the next four nights goes Detroit/Chicago/Detroit/Chicago like the simulation is working extra hard to keep me happy.

The fact that they are still doing the "Soros-paid protestors" bit is just an incredible testimony to the durability of certain tropes to negate the popular will, regardless of the lack of evidence.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

CLOUD is now streaming on the Criterion Channel. Read the review from @briantallerico.bsky.social, who praises how director Kiyoshi Kurosawa delivers "a brisk film that leaves one pondering its themes, especially what it means to live in an era when nothing is real.”

A reminder of Kurosawa’s remarkable skill with pacing and plotting.

The answer is nothing. And I'm tired of the question because it implies we're waiting for more guard rails to fall. The question is what now that they're down?

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?
