I have two dogs. Both of them want scritchies. So that's mostly what I do these days.
Oh, and if you want to talk about sobriety, send me a DM.

Trump's slide from 2020 to 2024 included bringing in $2,000,000+ LESS per day and $196,000,000 in aggregate. That seems like a huge story but, instead, crickets.
I'm tempted by the @mtsw.bsky.social "They want him to win!" conclusion here (which, yes) but this is still a bizarre collapse.

Money flooded into ACT Blue in October, as last month outpaced already enormous hauls in August and September. October's total jumped more than $150,000,000 from September.

A little kid just came up to me, gave me a hug, and said, "I love you Michael Myers."

Since July 21, 2024 - the day Kamala Harris got in the race - ACT Blue has processed more than $2,000,000,000 in donations. It crossed that threshold last night. Maybe nothing matters, but the Dem base would by all appearances remain very enthusiastic.

Here are six stories gingerly stepping around calling Donald Trump a racist, calling the things he says racist, and avoiding the plain truthtelling that subscribers are almost certainly subscribing FOR.
Headlines like "Invoke Racist Tropes" are meaningless.

I have never done volunteer work like this. My wife hates politics with a burning passion. But this year is different.

Remy and Birch hope that you're doing as well as you can be, and much as they endure hell and high water during their perilous waits for their next me, they want you to know that if you can endure the storm, there is sunlight out past the clouds.

Unsure where you're located but despite our drought here we've had some great trees this year.

One of the most incredibly stupid parts of Halloween 5 is that the Irish Cult that controls Michael Myers (???) travels by wannabe Greyhound Bus.

I think they made a single tone color version of this. It's my white whale.

Since getting in the race, Act Blue donors have raised $1,856,897,561. They are absolutely going to get past $2,000,000,000 before this is all said and done.
Maybe nothing matters. But it is hard to square these numbers with what some polling keeps telling us.

On Tuesday morning, Ralston posted about Clark County adding a few mail ballots to its totals. (See below.) Would be interested to see how this update gets written up.

He posts at about 10pm his time. Then it seems like the Clark County mail gets added. Which means we have a dooming blog post up all night and this happening simultaneously.

Here's a compare and contrast with where Trump was with small-dollar donors in October 2020 versus where he is now in October 2024.
Shorter: he's down more than $270,000,000 from where he was then.

Here's just the gap between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris this year (with 2020 thrown in for good measure). The difference is absolutely bonkers.

Maybe literally nothing matters. But Kamala Harris absolutely boatraced Donald Trump in 3Q fundraising, including more than doubling his haul in all three months she has been in the race. (Meanwhile, Trump is lagging his own 2020 numbers by more than $190,000,00.)
