😳 The FBI created top-secret files investigating all of Russia's interference from 2016, all the way up to 2020.
Those files were part of the stolen documents that Trump walked out with from the White House ... and the Feds have not yet been able to recover them.

Astonishing, isn't it?
Kentucky has some of the weakest gun laws in the US. Their legislature killed a red flag law this year, under pressure from the NRA.🤬

@mrbee Nah you have to press Back to block. Basically B is kick and A is punch. A lot of the special moves work like on Genesis. No Finish Hims at all though

Damn I finished the game!

After beating about 20 opponents, sometimes in doubles (no real boss at the end, a weaker Shao Kahn is fought at random times), what you get is this flashing screen hehe

I'm going to kick off the Halloween season with a horror movie classic I've actually never seen before: Hellraiser (1987)

Hellraiser - Das Tor zur Hölle

Frank Cotton verschwindet unter mysteriösen Umständen aus seinem Haus, als er versucht, einen geheimnisvollen Würfel zu öffnen. Jahre später ziehen sein Bruder Larry und dessen Frau ausgerechnet in dieses Haus.

Grading on a curve for 1987 and a total budget of just $1 million ($2.7 million in 2024 dollars) and I'd say it was pretty good. Very gory, graphic, and violent. That's what you kind of expect from a 1980s horror movie with occult themes.

Definitely a classic of the era. The budget is kind of surprising, I would not have guessed that it was so small.

On a related note, check out Nightbreed, also directed by Clive Barker, It came out three years later, is less gory, and is a much better story IMO.

Trump staffers who got into alleged physical altercation at Arlington National Cemetery are named.
The previously unidentified duo have been revealed as Donald Trump’s deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale and advance team member Michael Picard, according to NPR.

#tRump breaks the law again, and once more gets away with it.💩

independent.co.uk/news/world/a…

Caporale previously served as an aide to first lady . He left the White House to work for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, before joining . He was also a project manager for the Jan. 6 rally where Trump urged the crowd to “stop the steal” before the riot at the Capitol, according to NPR. The outlet said that it named the two men as those involved after the incident took place. The Independent has contacted the Trump campaign for comment.

It was later alleged that Trump staffers got into an altercation with cemetery personnel. The names of the staffers have now been revealed. (Utah Governor Spencer Cox)
After NPR contacted the two people allegedly involved, Trump spokesman Steven Cheung responded: “I see you've been emailing some of our team members... As the Army has said, they consider this matter closed. President Trump was there to support the Gold Star families and honor the sacrifices their loved ones made.” Trump’s August 26 visit to Arlington drew ire after he went to the cemetery for a wreath laying to honor the 13 service members killed at the Abbey Gate bombing in Afghanistan during the 2021 US withdrawal. After the ceremony, Trump visited Section 60 - where recently killed soldiers are buried - at the invitation of some family members of fallen soldiers. There, he was photographed and gave a thumbs up near some graves. Soon after the visit, it was revealed that Trump campaign staffers were involved in an alleged physical confrontation with cemetery personnel. Arlington rules state that only official photographers can take pictures or film in Section 60. When an Arlington staff member tried to enforce the rules, two Trump campaign staffers, now identified as Caporale and Picard, allegedly pushed past the employee.
Cheung, in the immediate aftermath, threatened to release footage of the incident and attacked the Arlington employee, saying they suffered from a “mental health” episode. Trump has tried to deny the incident took place. The Army then released a statement saying the staff member had been pushed aside. “Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds,” the statement read. “An ANC employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules was abruptly pushed aside.” ‘While the matter was referred to police, the staffer involved did not want to press charges. The Army now considers the matter “closed.”

“Being a woman in tech is insane. We do not work in the same moral system model as most of the people that we interact with daily and we can’t talk about it, because when we do, we are the ones portrayed as crazy or hysterical.”

This is such an excellent piece by @irene – you should spend a few minutes today reading it.
