👻 From my Halloween list: ODDITY (2024) lands at #19 in the top 20 ghost films of the last 100 years. A blind psychic uses a haunted mannequin to uncover her twin’s killer—and what she finds is chilling beyond death. Irish horror at its finest. #Oddity #HalloweenWatchlist

Zach Bryan & Kacey Musgraves in I Remember Everything = pure ache. 🥃
3 mins of love, loss & late-night confessions.
7/8 time keeps you off-balance—like heartbreak.
Country ballad meets poetic gut-punch.

Got outdoor plans in the DC area Sunday? Most of the day should be just fine. But scattered showers look to arrive west to east between approximately 5 and 8 p.m.

Around midnight, we could see a line of briefly heavy showers with gusty winds and maybe thunder.

So, I put a mask on and went to an actual art supply store today (amazing, more later) and while I was standing in line to pay the person helping me took a call. “Yes,” she said, “acrylic should hold up in the rain. We have a spray if you—oh I see. For a protest it should hold up just fine.” 1/

Our border officers are essential to our security— keeping drugs, guns, and criminals out of our communities.

So, we’re investing in the Canada Border Services Agency to hire 1,000 new officers who will keep our borders secure and our streets safe.

Very encouraging to hear Mark Carney say that....because when I spoke to his office, just before he was elected, I was told that he refused to use the genocide word for fear of angering Israel.
Good to see that he might be swinging around.

🖋️ Blank Space is pop satire at its finest—lush, venomous, and self-aware. Taylor flips her media persona with razor-sharp lyrics and a beat as addictive as the drama. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.” 🔥 #BlankSpace #PopPerfection

Guess the song:

I have no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony

landscape of branches and roots growing around a small puddle of water. a blue raven stands above it with a feather in his beak, peering down into the water.

three small abstract landscape paintings. Green seaweed looking one, a green stone formation that can be a city or forest, and a green and yellow natural formation that can be a leaf breaking apart

Two book cover paintings. a blue one with a man and a sword, looking tired and worn, and a burnt hand besides him. the background is abstract shapes hidden by misty swirls.

The second image is of a city. There is a crowd of people that are just forms, and one man standing out in a red trenchcoat and white eyes staring at the viewer.

dark blue landscape of two woods meeting for a conversation. It can also possibly be a single tree split down the middle.

Canada’s new government is relentlessly focused on protecting our communities, our border, and our country.

We’re hiring 1,000 new Canada Border Services Agency personnel and making big changes that will attract and retain this next wave of highly trained border officers.

“everything i wanted” by Billie Eilish is a haunting lullaby for the dreamers who’ve tasted darkness. A love letter to sibling solidarity wrapped in echoing piano and whispered pain. It’s not just a song—it’s a quiet scream. #BillieEilish #everythingiwanted 🎧💔

🧠🎪 From my Halloween list: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) — a twisted tale of hypnotism, murder, and madness. German Expressionism at its creepiest. A carnival sleepwalker predicts death… and delivers. #2 most popular horror film of the 1920s. #SpookySeason #FilmNoirVibes
