Hokey Smokes, another imposition on my time, money & energy already? Yes, & Sunday is Hallowe'en, meaning that a wk. from today commercial Xmas will be in full swing, & I haven't even started shopping yet!!

But all my suffering is nothing compared to Minna Hong's. You may know her as asiangrrlMN of the Balloon Juice commentariat. She survived a serious cardiac incident in Sep't. (Yay! No obits this wk.!) & has been chronicling her recovery at A Banana Peeled.

Aggregating the aggregators: "Weekend link dump for October 24" from Off the Kuff. Lotsa good stuff.

The Big, Bad & Bald Bastard found a Twitter acc't. by a woman who went undercover among the MAGAs w/ a hidden microphone & lived to tell the tale. Bet we'll hear a lot more about this.

Ohio's Republican Senate primary seems substance-free; all culture war bloviation from two total turkeys. Strangely Blogged takes apart a Tweet from one of the gobblers.

Bonus track, not very soothing:

The soul-crushing fight of parents battling right-wing COVID nihilism
No amount of evidence will convince Republicans to keep our kids safe in the pandemic

You get the message, you aren't obligated to read it.

M. Bouffant did this, & for nothing. So much for Striketober. Submit suggestions for swell liberal blogs (No advertising or get-rich-quick schemes!) to mbru@crooksandliars.com.
