Salon was good in its day but it got more and more shrill leftist as the years went on and eventually became unreadable. Slate is following a similar trajectory and will probably go next. Neither are in the public consciousness anymore.
Today, after 31 years, we are saddened to announce that Salon is ceasing publication. It has been an extraordinary privilege. salon.com/2026/11/05/goodbye…
Americans are generally scheduled to work 2,080 hours a year (80 hours per pay period for 26 pay periods). The reality is less with PTO and all that but we work a lot.
After going to Oktoberfest this year I've been interested in the teardown of the wiesn. A couple permanent cameras are still on overwatch and one month after its end this is all that's left. It's just the bones of a dead celebration...
I subscribe to Opie Unfiltered on my podcast app even though I don't listen often. For giggles I checked out the description for today's "show" and it sounds atrocious. Why would anyone support these uninteresting zeroes with real money? And I say this as someone who liked Opie more than Anthony at times back in the day.
Going with someone on this list the season is over. If there's a trade for Tyson Bagent or Shedeur Sanders the season is over and next season is in jeopardy. I'm so depressed.
The worst thing about trick or treating on Halloween are the adults who put full bowls of candy out and then whine on 11/1 about a few kids taking it all. If you don't want the hassle of handing it out don't complain when kids are kids, see free candy and act accordingly.
Scoring the @Airbnb host meltdown, 15-20% are either ok with the new rules or will find a way to work within the framework. The rest are exposing themselves as insufferable a-holes who deserve whatever friction they're going to experience, and at this point I hope it's a lot.
My house might be 55 years old and not the most modern structure with the latest building technology, but I live in a neighborhood without a HOA and that's worth more to me than a huge walk-in closet or a washer and dryer on the upper level.

I'm still enjoying the @Airbnb host crash out. For a while they were saying their protests against new rules are not about the dishes but protecting their properties and businesses or some such nonsense, but the reality is more like this:

I guess playing in the Bundesliga wasn't a terrible detriment...

After watching Marlon Humphrey have every arm tackle he attempted run through today I'm finally of the opinion that's his time in Baltimore is up. What a disgrace.
The @Airbnb host meltdown has been great, with many complaining about not being allowed to have guests do chores while saying it's not about the dishes. Truth: If you can't turn a rental over in 5 hours without guest help while also charging a cleaning fee that's a host problem.
Having been required in the past to sweep an entire home and take trash to a dumpster over a mile away while also paying cleaning fees, the crash out @Airbnb hosts are having over new rules and compensation levels is kind of fun to watch.
From 2015-20 I backed 13 @Kickstarter projects. Not all were funded but all of those that were shipped. I stopped backing projects until 2025 when I backed 5, with all of them expected to ship by the end of the year. As of October 18, 2026 only one has and I have little hope the other 4 will. Kickstarter went from a way to support innovation and ideas to a ripoff, and the company doesn't care. I hope it flames out and dies.
My good friend and follower @JohnCena said he only follows 1 million people because X won't let him follow more. I'm glad I got in under the wire. 😆
Mostly true, especially when it comes to IPAs because there isn't a single one that tastes good and no one can convince me otherwise. The exception is hefeweizen. That shit is delicious.
Unpopular opinion; No one - literally not a soul - actually enjoys the taste of beer. Not a single human. Those who claim to enjoy beer, don’t actually. It’s really just a social ritual, a form of self deception… the impact of decades of stacked marketing to convince you that beer is anything but an alcohol delivery mechanism. You can enjoy getting sloshed. You can enjoy the social liberation that alcohol offers. You can enjoy the party. But don’t act like you actually like the taste of beer. You don’t. You might think you do. But you don’t. Because it tastes like it looks: bitter dehydrated piss, with bubbles. In the case of Guinness, like diarrhea, with bubbles. And you know it.
