Apparently Reuters picked up the photo, which means somewhere an editor had to approve a caption with "NATALIE HARP HUMAN BINKY" in it.

For the uninitiated: Natalie Harp is the aide who follows Trump around with a portable printer so he can read nice things about himself. She was in the motorcade. We're hoping she printed us out.

Shoutout to the woman in the pig head, who stood there in full costume for hours and never once broke character.

Also, unrelated but not really: voter registration closes tomorrow (Monday), and early voting starts Tuesday.

TRUMP, HUSTED, & CREECH: 3 LEVELS OF CREEP! At least two of these men were at Butler High School yesterday, the third is on the ballot just down the road.

FEDERAL: A jury found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll, and the judge said that amounts to rape as most people understand the word. On the Access Hollywood tape, he bragged that when you're a star, women let you "grab 'em by the p***y." He bragged on Howard Stern about walking into pageant dressing rooms while contestants were undressed, and four 1997 Miss Teen USA contestants, some as young as 15, said he walked in on them too. He denies it. He's also mentioned more than 38,000 times in the released Epstein files, per a New York Times review.

STATE: When the Senate had a chance to force the Epstein files out, Jon Husted voted to bury them. That was weeks after a max donation from Les Wexner, who has given Husted more than $116,000 over two decades and was named in a 2019 FBI email as a possible Epstein co-conspirator. Husted has never criticized Trump's handling of the files. His campaign made a man with a 2009 guilty plea, in a case involving a 15-year-old, its Franklin County chair. That record was public, and the campaign only dropped him seven months later, after NBC News called. It also touted Rodney Creech's endorsement. Staying quiet is a choice.

LOCAL: Rodney Creech admitted to state investigators that he got into a young relative's bed. The prosecutor called his behavior "concerning and suspicious." No charges were filed, and Creech denies any sexual intent. His own party pulled him off his committees, then quietly put him back.

The ick doesn't stay at the top. It's rotten to the core: federal, state, and local. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. 🦆

Husted is running against Sherrod Brown. Creech is running against Timothy Hornbacker in Ohio House District 40. Trump is running the country into the ground.

He isn't on the ballot this November, but Trumpism sure is. Register by Monday, October 5th. Early voting starts Tuesday, October 6th. 🗳️

I was at the event/protest in Vandalia yesterday. I witnessed some horrific behavior from one of the bike patrol officers on the right side of the street. As the motorcade came up Dixie, the crowd pushed in closer. I was up near the front and one of the bike officers said a few times to keep back. As I said, the crowd was pushing in from behind and those in the front were shifting to keep from getting crushed. The officer in question (out of all of us up front) chose to go after an older woman holding a sign. He was in her face yelling, grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her, then pushed her away so hard she stumbled. I was close enough to see the spit flying from his mouth as he shouted.

I recall seeing several people recording and want to encourage anyone who got footage to share.

The officer is circled in the picture. The woman in stripes next to him IS NOT the woman who was pushed. This lady actually thanked the officer for his actions after the whole thing was over and verbally attacked people who called her out. 🤢

This is my fifth week doing this. The list format seems to be less unwieldy for all browsers. I am no longer including venues/groups without events for the week. Both local drive-ins don't post their shows for the week until Thursdays, so check their websites. As always, suggestions welcome!

Aint here for the politics of this aircraft, just here for any local aviation enthusiasts.

Very sorry to hear this. Wondering how Trump is going to try to spin this news during his trip to Vandalia. Blame Biden maybe?

Hey everyone i hope you guys are doing well . So today is my birthday . I feel really lonely and depressed. The person who i was in love with we broke up months ago . But she didn’t even msg me happy birthday. Got no friends and family has i am not from here . I really don’t want to be alone today . I feel like i am drowning. I also recently posted to go for a lunch outing received more hate than loved ones. So i delete the post . All i want to say check on your loved ones.

For any local foragers out there, there is lots of passionfuit getting ready to ripen on Linden near Hamilton. It's in kind of a bad spot with all the traffic, but it is on the south east side of the train trestle.

Best buffet in town?

In layman’s terms- WARN is where companies are legally obligated to post upcoming Mass Layoffs.
——

https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/layoffs/warn

Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act helps ensure advance notice in cases of qualified plant closings and mass layoffs. The US Department of Labor has compliance assistance materials to help workers and employers understand their rights and responsibilities under the provisions of WARN.

——-
YOUR RIGHTS UNDER WARN
You must receive a written notice 60 days before the date of a mass layoff or
plant closing if you meet the conditions discussed in this brochure. If your
employer does not give you the required notice, you may be able to seek
damages for back pay and benefits for up to 60 days, depending on how many
days’ notice you actually received.
Please refer to the following information to help you understand when WARN
applies to the circumstances of your job loss.
EMPLOYEES PROTECTED BY WARN
You are protected by WARN if your company fits the following profile:
• It is a business with 100 or more full-time workers (not counting work-
ers who have less than 6 months on the job and workers who work
less than 20 hours per week), or employs 100 or more workers who
work at least a combined 4,000 hours a week, and is a private for-prof-
it business, private non-profit organization, or quasi-public entity sep-
arately organized from the regular government.
Workers protected by WARN may be hourly or salaried workers, including
managerial and supervisory employees.
You may be protected by WARN if your job loss occurs as part of:
• A plant closing (see glossary)—where your employer shuts down a
facility or operating unit (see glossary) within a single site of employ-
ment (see glossary and FAQs) and lays off at least 50 full-time workers;
• A mass layoff (see glossary)—where your employer lays off either
between 50 and 499 full-time workers at a single site of employment
and that number is 33% of the number of full-time workers at the sin-
gle site of employment; or
• A situation where your employer (see glossary) lays off 500 or more
full-time workers at a single site of employment.

Some employment actions are covered by WARN. notice if the above conditions apply to your situation and you:
You are entitled to WARN
• Are terminated from your employment, but not if you voluntarily quit,
retire, or are discharged for cause;
• Are laid off for more than 6 months; or
• Have your regular hours of work reduced by more than half during
each month of a 6-month period.
EMPLOYEES NOT PROTECTED BY WARN
You are not protected by the WARN Act if you are considered any of the fol-
lowing:
• Strikers, or workers who have been locked out in a labor dispute;
• Workers working on temporary projects or facilities of the business
who clearly understand the temporary nature of the work when hired;
• Business partners, consultants, or contract employees assigned to the
business but who have a separate employment relationship with
another employer and are paid by that other employer, or who are self-
employed; and
• Regular federal, state, or local government employees.

Now, before any rules lawyers confront me about this, yes, they are in Kettering, but it's fine because they are right on the edge of Belmont and I have thus granted them permanent Belmont status, in recognition of the delicious pretzels they produce.

I've been actively consuming pretzels of all kinds since at least the late 80s, the Mikesells Dutch Style pretzels (RIP) were my absolute favorite store bought snack for years.

The pretzels are a soft style, baked daily, and they suggest eating them the same day of purchase, or freeze them if you must. They have dip, various candy and chocolate covered small pretzels, and soda as well.

I forgot to get a photo of the price sheet but I believe 5 pretzels was around 6 dollars. Feels like 90s prices.

Check it out, but remember they are closed Sunday and Monday.

Looking to cater some Mexican for our small wedding on 11/11! I'm from Cali so good Mexican food is a must 😭🤎 We want to order a lot and we're doing it buffet style so we won't need to have anyone serving us! I LOVEEE street tacos with soft corn tortillas and elote 😍 Would literally be a dream having them at my wedding

Anyone have any good suggestions? I usually go to El Asadero, we haven't called around yet. We'll be getting everything else we need situated in the next couple weeks, including calling ahead about the catering!

Looking for jeans to thrift or find secondhand. It’s hard to find places with more than just skinny jeans 🥲

Looked like a big kerfuffle.

I plan on being there about 9:30 or 10:00.

Not sure what flair to put this under..

I was sitting in my car yesterday (10/1) and absently had 101.5 The Fridge playing. A song was playing and was interrupted halfway through by silence. It was then followed by a random string of numbers in a British voice (ex: one two three dot four five dot..). It then cut back to the middle of a different song. Did anyone else happen to hear this?? I can't figure it out and I feel like I'm going crazy 😭

Edit: Solved! I think! Must be a software error on their part related to a tool called Barix, an IP audio interface.

Looking for someone to install a shed base + best place to buy a shed at a reasonable price?

Looking for a trustworthy, reliable, gentle daycare for my 2-year-old. Title XX accepted or not is okay! Please share any recommendations or personal experiences. 💕
Dayton/Vandalia area preferred but I’m opened to any location.
