Funny retro kid costumes, thanks to SMH
Good to see people honoring Lamont the Big Dummy

Four hours of retro Halloween commercials and specials
The first short is the original 1996 appearance of "Sam," the dangerous undead trick-or-treater from Trick r' Treat.

ICYMI: Australian journalist actually presses Kamala Harris when she repeatedly dodges questions about Biden's mental fitness
Kamala admits she didn't have the stamina to run for president, while continuing to insist he had the mental capacity to serve as president. He was too frail to run but perfectly strong enough to govern. Yeah sure whatever lying whore.

On Wednesday, we'll see the "Beaver Super-Moon." Which sounds hot.

Podcast: Historian and Pundit Robert Spencer joins us for a wide-ranging discussion about the Islamists in our midst: Mamdani in NYC, all across Europe, and others.

Full Episode: The Hardy Boys (and Nancy Drew) Meet Dracula
I don't remember this show, except for remembering that Nancy Drew was hot and the opening credits were foreboding and exicting

According to Grok, Latrine John-Pissoir has never failed to mention she is "black" (or "queer") during her book interviews
She may not know what the hell her book is about, but she definitely knows that "every day I wake up black and queer." Join the club, sister!

Schmoll: 53% of New Jersey likely voters say their neighbors are voting for Ciattarelli, while 47% say the cheater/grifter Mikie Sherrill
The "who do you think your neighbors are voting for" question is designed to avoid the Shy Tory problem, wherein conservative people lie to schmollsters because they don't want to go on record with a likely left-winger telling them who they're really voting for. So instead the question is who do you think your neighbors are voting for, so people can talk about who they themselves support without actually having to admit it to a left-wing rando stranger recording their answers on the phone.

Hackers take over University of Penn website, calling the school a "dogshit elitist institution full of woke retards" and threatening to release its admissions files to prove illegal racial discrimination
No lies detected so far

Live Now: Dana Loesch is interrogating Heritage President Kevin Roberts on his insistence that the gay Nazi Nick Fuentes is an absolutely essential "conservative" voice whose ideas we must take seriously and who we must absolutely not exclude based on his Naziism

TJM Complains about Wreck-It Ralph The very topical premiere of TJM's YouTube Channel.

Interesting football history: How the forward pass was created in response to the nineteen -- 19! -- people killed playing football in 1905 alone
The original rules of football did not allow forward passes. The ball was primarily advanced by running, with blockers forming lines with interlocked arms and just smashing into the similarly-interlocked defensive lines. It was basically Greek hoplite spear formations but with a semi-spherical ball. As calls to ban the sport entirely grew, some looked for ways to de-emphasize mass charges as the primary means of advancing the ball, and some specifically championed allowing a passer to throw the ball forward.

Latrine John-Pissoir can't explain her book -- an Inside Look at a Broken White House, but she says she means the Trump White House, which she had no inside look at -- even to friendly leftwing media interviewers
Speaking as a black woman and black LGBT woman and black immigrant...
Bonus points all day on Tuesday to anyone who begins all of his or her posts with "Speaking as a black LGBT woman..."

Atari to release former competitor Intellivision with 45 games for $149
I always thought Intellivision was kinda lame (to the extent a cutting edge videogame box can be lame).
Intellivision insists upon itself.
Pitfall was a really good game. I don't know if it was available on Intellivision. Update: It was. But I don't know if it's included in the new unit.

Terrorist-aligned AP: "Reporter describes shock at witnessing East Wing's demolition"
White House press corps: "SO TRUMP CAN DEMOLISH ANYTHING HE WANTS TO?!?!"
Yes. Thank you for acknowledging that.

NBC really screwed the pooch with this franchise. By running Martha and Trump simultaneously, they insured viewers 1) couldn't keep track of who the hell was on which show and 2) just became bored with the entire premise. It made so much more sense to run the Martha show after the Trump show aired, after the finale generated the typical spike in interest, and viewers wanted more. But I guess NBC just doesn't have any shows anymore. posted by Ace at 04:04 PM Comments As a business-type guy, I did find Trump's show somewhat interesting, what are the kinds of things he considers when making decisions, but after a while, I jut couldn't hang with it. With every episode, it took forever to get to the freaking point - and there just wasn't enough drama involved to keep me watching. I know that's the formula, and apparently it's popular. Probably why I don't get much out of things like Survivor. Posted by: Dave in Texas on November 14, 2005 04:13 PM Plus it has the same time slot as Lost, which is a really good show. Posted by: Moonbat_One on November 14, 2005 05:13 PM Still watch Trump. Gave up on Martha a long time ago. Posted by: someone on November 14, 2005 05:17 PM Martha's was basically "Apprentice, the Gay Blade." I mean, yeah, I guess it was meant to skew more to women, and there's nothing wrong with making and marketing a salad dressing as a task, but... I think the tasks were a little too Martha-esque. Posted by: ace on November 14, 2005 05:29 PM and there was much rejoicing! Posted by: Da Goddess on November 14, 2005 05:54 PM The thing that annoys me about the trump show this year is how it's basically a commerical for some corporation. "Best Buy and Star Wars are the two best electronics and movie franchises out there." Earlier seasons were less overtly commercial (selling advertising on pedicaps for ex). This year's tasks are probably more relevant to trumpmania, but I feel like I'm watching an infomercial. I do however enjoy this year's boardroom massacres. Posted by: Kevin on November 14, 2005 11:06 PM Kevin, you're right. All the tasks have been marketing, thanks to the need for promotional tie-ins.
