You may recall that last Spring, a chemistry professor at Macalester College in St Paul, Minnesota was accused of urinating on student belongings, and was dismissed from his position. His troubles have greatly increased: he has been formally charged with a felony. There has been a confession. Urination had been found in trash cans, individuals’ water bottles and inside professors’ decorations, the state criminal court document said.

In a horrible, tragic incident, a man with a history of mental illness climbed a fence at a South Yorkshire zoo and walked up to a Siberian tiger, which did what a tiger does. It swiftly killed him. His family is grieving. It’s all over the news — this was such a rare and unusual event.

OK, so yesterday morning I posted that ridiculous AI video of an ark excavation. How about another stupid video? VIDEO That’s straight from Answers in Genesis. It’s official dogma at AiG that all the dinosaurs were vegetarian. And they still rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars from the rubes. Meanwhile, the fully articulated and intact skeleton of Cuvier is spinning in his grave.

The US ambassador to Greece has been forced to resign supposedly because of her brazen corruption, asking wealthy people to give her money in return for political favors.

SPOOKTOBER DAY 13 – INVESTIGATION OPTIONAL CHALLENGES:  THRIFT STORE & HAND-ME-DOWNS, BODY SNATCHER, STRANGER IN TOWN TAROT INFLUENCE:  KNIGHT OF CUPS, INVERTED TITLE:  THE HEADBANGER Premise:  A young woman appears in 1988 small town Washington (STRANGER IN TOWN) naked and with amnesia, totally messed up. A drunk? How did she get there? Prevailing theory is she got in a car and wandered into town, which leads to an abortive search for the car – no luck.

I am very fond of the quote “How can I tell what I think till I see what I say?” because it captures what I have long been convinced of , that the ideas in one’s mind, even those that one thinks are clear, are often inchoate and confused, containing illogicality and errors that are only manifested when one openly articulates the ideas, especially in written form. The quote is attributed to E. M. Forster and can found in his 1927 book of essays Aspects of the Novel.

In contrast to the clown show of politics, actually filling out a ballot is very tedious. I believe in filling out the entire ballot, but I also believe in being informed about what I vote for, so that means taking time out of my day to at least try to do some research, though I may moan and groan about it. So here’s my walkthrough of the 2026 California ballot. Insurance Commissioner LA Times has a fairly neutral article on the two candidates Ben Allen and Jane Kim.

This sounds like a fascinating, factual documentary. Oscar-winner Alex Gibney’s 4-hour documentary about Elon Musk may be the most important film of the year. After the first two hours, audiences will learn that he is better at engineering everything around him to suit his ego and his bank account than he is at engineering his many products. We see the damage he has inflicted, including horrific dash-cam footage of fatal accidents involving self-driving cars.

Trump has been raging against Ilhan Omar for years, and now he has had her home raided…on suspicion of what? It’s not at all clear. There was no reason to think a sitting congressperson was somehow involved in any kind of criminal activity, and no evidence of such has been presented. It’s nothing but targeted harassment driven by a fat old pig’s bigotry. And Ohio crowd chanted “deport” as President Donald Trump blasted Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., during a campaign rally speech on Monday night.

I’m thinking that most probably aren’t stupid enough to fall for this, so maybe this is the floor. VIDEO That comes from a Muslim channel that has other stupid AI-generated videos, like this. All they tell me is that you have to be seriously deluded to accept any of the claims of religion.
