@drgmg Le Clusterfuque d'Elon continues apace.
@cornered I'm not even touching any streaming service that runs commercials until Wednesday at the earliest.

Non-disabled people are normalizing and expecting disabled people to accept things for the entirety of our lives that they wouldn’t be okay with for even 5 minutes. And they demand we be grateful for it. #disability
Good night, CoSo. You don't need Iggy Pop to tell you that life is crazy, but here he is, doing it anyway:
(Personal note: Sweet mother of mercy, Kate Pierson in that dress...)
@DJNoneYa Well damn. What a shame. I wasn't a fan, but that's far too young. Poor guy.

@barbsobel Depends on the jack o'lantern you want to carve, I guess.
@Juliaisfluff I'm jealous. Whenever I tell Olive to do something, she fixes me with a cold stare of contempt (see below) and goes on about her business.

Across the country, vest-wearing canvassers are knocking on doors in neighborhoods and asking people about their voting history and who they live with, Reuters reports.
The canvassers aren’t affiliated with any government, but rather with groups aligned with Donald Trump that are trying to use information gathered from their visits to prove voter fraud, investigation. Officials worry the groups are impersonating government employees and intimidating voters.
@GottaLaff Patience is a virtue. Perhaps Hammie needs some emergency ear skritches in the meantime?
@DJNoneYa It's not the fact that these guys hang themselves with their own tongues that surprises me. It's the enthusiasm they show while doing so.

Just up the road from me is a further education college run by assholes.
Being assholes keeps costing them money and cratering their credibility.
