SoCal. I like to garden. I love the desert. I love the word “bufflehead.” What else?

It's happening! #Scientology watchers gather today and we look forward to seeing you there. ALSO: The Danny Masterson civil lawsuit gets a trial date, and the City of Clearwater balks at its own citizens telling it what to do regarding its subservience to Scientology!
HowdyCon 2026 is here — New London is Clear!
The Underground Bunker is resurrecting HowdyCon, the set of conventions it held from 2016 to 2019, and today it begins in New London, Connecticut.

Fool is incredibly, astonishingly different. And it’s utter genius. The tone and atmosphere of this book highlight a truly nuanced story. Ostensibly about a married couple rushing to find their kidnapped son, there is so much more to the story. A review from WS Bookclub about Fool.

But also please let people know about Chris Duncan’s campaign, he’s a former DHS lawyer who resigned and lost all his job benefits when asked to defend Stephen Miller’s child separation policy during Trump 1.0, and he’s running against MAGA asshole Tony Strickland (who fucked up HB before he left)

Dear Mr. President — thank you for voting by mail in Florida last week and showing Americans that it is a safe, secure and convenient way to vote. I encourage all Californians to do the same and cast their ballots by mail this November.

Trump votes by mail again in his home state of Florida
Voting records from Palm Beach County show the president requested his ballot in late July and it was returned on Aug. 13.

years ago me and Ms. Moreno talked about how this came together and it was the greatest www.newyorker.com/culture/cult...
“The contrast is outrageous! There’s this sex bomb in front, and this, this creature—I don’t know what else to call him—this fuzzy, violent, nasty creature in back who only got pleasure out of making people and other Muppets unhappy. A creature of impulse, let’s put it that way. And when I watch myself—’cause I’m usually so critical—but when I watch myself, I just laugh at me. What I love about it is that my character’s trying so hard to be sexy and sultry. And this horrible creature in back of me is acting up. [Laughter] See? I can’t stop laughing. It tickles me to death.

We've enjoyed getting to know Amir Essalhi, a recent #Scientology defector who had worked on staff in Edinburgh. Last night, he sent us an intriguing message about running into Suri Noelle there. ALSO: Is this an endurance test, 11 straight days with Elena Cardone? Yikes.

The tree of heaven, an invasive species, is a nuisance to D.C.'s native ecosystem. They're also incredibly hard to get rid of — but this part of year is actually the most effective time to try.

Here's how some residents in D.C. are trying to tackle these troublesome trees.

A pug sitting in a dog bed in a living room. Behind the dog bed is a crumpled bath mat that really should be in the bathroom. (The dog bed is also not where it was when I stepped into the shower). The pug does not look regretful because she is a TINY TERROR
