I just installed a fake bookcase over the entrance to my attic, but it looks a little conspicuous on the ceiling now that I look at it.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes.

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

When the idiots running the country shut us down in 2018/2019, I did a comic strip on Twitter daily. Some big celebs picked it up and reposted it. If this goes on longer, I may have to take it up again.

Well, due to MAGA lusting to raise everyone’s heath care costs, I’m furloughed again. The Moron in Chief shut us down for 35 days last time. This time he’s saying he might not give us back pay because, “some people don’t deserve to be taken care of.” I agree, here’s a few who don’t deserve care

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I’ve lost 30lbs in the last 90 days and my only goal right now is to get to a place where I can finally landscape my ‘fella yard’, which basically looks like the hedge maze from The Shining now.

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.

When Chester committed suicide, I learned my wife was high school friends with him AND had no idea he was the singer in LP until mutuals posted about it. Mind you, we were not LP listeners

A little unorthodox, I suppose, but I just set up a first date with a woman I met on OKCupid. She's going to pick me up from my colonoscopy and we'll then hit a fun lunch spot. I should be pretty hungry!!!!
