Halloween house lights are a thing? Who knew?
What Hallowe’en things have caught your eye so far? I also rather like The Mary Sue‘s link to genderswapped cosplay featuring Han Solo and Leia Organa (especially when I read in the comments that they weren’t actually collaborators, they just ran into each other during the con):
The internet is awesome except when it isn’t. People being wrong and awful on the internet often leads to the need for brain-bleach moments where the awesome comes to the fore. Please share your favourites in comments … anything that has recently surprised, delighted, intrigued or otherwise positively engaged you: think of these threads as a brain-bleach repository.


I had forgotten about this that Clementine Ford shared on Facebook (via someecards.com):

Clem’s comment was a dedication to any blogger who has to moderate lots of comments. Oh yes.
P.S by which I mean not all you lovely folk who leave friendly, amusing and/or perspicacious comments. I meant all the bleurgh-bats who leave the slimy vexatious comments that you never get to see.

Oh yes, Joss’s endorsement of Mitt Romney is the most awesome thing I have seen in a long time. Make sure you watch right to the end.
Zomney. Brilliant.
We need a Tony Abbott equivalent.
