Didn't know about this song until today. To all the good frogs across America tonight:

"Todos somos mejores cuando trabajamos juntos. / We are all better when we work together."

Keep up the good work. Thank you.

A neo-nazi walks into a college classroom and yells insults.

(Not a joke, sorry. Happened Oct. 1st )

The class *throws him out* and then follows him until he is apprehended by campus security.

H/t to @ariellaelm.bsky.social Substack for the news. Watch K5 Seattle's YouTube for more details.

#Drawtober day 9: “Antlers Out of Time.”
When you behold the horned one, do you see its antlers between the realms?

A deer-like animal with painted fur and beads sporting antlers that are made of thin lines.

"Govt to appeal to Boasberg."

Oh my. I have to say, I read those five words and my eyes got wide and my ears pricked up and my heart beat a little faster while my breath got a little deeper.

I might even break out the popcorn....

I hear ya. I even have trouble seeing people today do the flying headbutt.

I try to see the best in people, but I generally have lines where that stops. My feeling about Benoit, however?

Shop is now open!

A show I was supposed to work on Friday got canceled, which means I'm losing ~$100 😭 I'd love to be able to pay bills this month, even without an active aid goal!

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

What Mik said above. Who doesn't want to be on TV and have followers? (Other than me, of course.)

Also has a side effect of helping "flood the zone" with more positive #AEW comments overall, to try and fight against trolls, anti-AEW grifters, etc.

Too bad Bluesky is already Hangman Country ;)

With you 110%. If you're as angry as I am, complain to the networks (see one example below). Be angry but polite. Optional: offer to boycott other sponsors as well, plus let those sponsors know why being next to ICE commercials is the kiss of death.
