Why are Instagram and Facebook searches for "Adam Driver Megalopolis" being blocked for CSAM? (The Verge)

Because (a) "mega drive" is a code word used by very bad people, and (b) Facebook is dumb.

No Lawyers, Only Guns Money - International Gin & Tonic Day

October 19th is International Gin and Tonic Day. It was created by Jayne Withers in honor of her grandmother Mary Edith Keyburn. Mrs. Keyburn lived to the ripe old age of 95 and enjoyed her gin and tonics. Indeed, her family smuggled a gin and tonic into the hospital in water bottle and served it to her in a tea cup.

Wombat-socho - FMJRA 2.0: The God-Emperor Works A Shift At McD’s

This is without question one of the funniest episodes in this miserable election season: Donald Trump working the fry station and the drive-through at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s.

Area Ocho - They Will

Good-bye and good riddance to this murderous monster, but if Israel had listened to Kamala Harris, Yahya Sinwar would have been safe in Rafah.

Gosh, it’s almost as if Kamala is pro-Hamas, and yet there are still Jews who will vote for her — liberalism is a suicidal psychosis.

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership - Vice President Harris, about that Glock you claim to own …

The vice president should answer a few more questions. Keep in mind, the vice president is a California resident, a state with arguably the strictest gun control laws in the country.

From all appearances, the vice president has a serious case of "Gun control for thee. Not for me."

Mike Rowe - The Marble Man

None of the shoots on Dirty Jobs were easy. Some, obviously, were harder than others, but the thing that always surprised me about making that show was how so many seemingly innocuous jobs turned out to be weirdly difficult and surprisingly hazardous, once you got into them. Take marble making, for instance. I mean, really, how dirty can it be? And why would anyone give a damn?
