"Werewolves of London" is a Halloween party playlist staple, but there's actually an even better Warren Zevon song for the spooky season.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

Dolly’s rep says she has kidney stones and an infection. I was in the hospital for something similar in August. It was the worst pain of my life plus I was projectile vomiting and lost all dignity writhing in pain while they probed every orifice 😬.

Bad, but if they’re telling the truth she’ll be ok

After freaking everyone the fuck out about Dolly Parton’s health yesterday, her sister issued an “oopsie!” apology today. Woof.

I’m begging everyone not to add unnecessary anxiety to our lives right now. My tummy was in knots over Dolly yesterday 😞

It's the Anakin Padme meme. Anakin is now a smoke detector saying I don't have enough energy to tell u if there's a fire. Padme happily asks So u don't have enough energy to make a shill loud beep every minute for years? Then she looks worried, and asks again: U don't have the energy to make a shill loud beep every minute for years, right? To which Anakin the smoke detector replies BEEP

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...
