Today is Halloween. So, I guess it’s officially Christmas at midnight? Sometimes it’s hard to tell it’s Thanksgiving with all the Christmas commercials.

If you only knew the contempt I had when someone put a popcorn ball in my trick-or-treat bag.

If you’re a kid of the Eighties, I’d recommend the Colin Hanks documentary John Candy: I Like Me. Gosh, that’s a great title. But I never heard this detail about his death until the documentary, but it’s mentioned in this article as well. Definitely a much better way to be found dead than what’s rumored about David Carradine.

I’m really not liking this Skydance Media merger. Stephen Colbert is a part of my nightly routine, and his show is being taken off the air. And ever since Bari Weiss was tapped to be the CBS News editor-in-chief, they have been ousting some of my favorite correspondents. I’ve been a big fan of the revamped CBS Evening News, especially with John Dickerson. But he will be exiting the network at the end of the year. I also adore the lovely Michelle Miller, but she has been shown the door. Her partner, Dana Jacobson, was also booted, and word has it that Gayle King (whom I’ve always been lukewarm for) will be gone next year. CBS Sunday Morning  and 60 Minutes are Sunday bookmarks for me, and I’m scared they will be revamped. If Scott Pelley and Bill Whitataker leave, I know for sure the news division is done for.

The secret lab where America tests its nuclear weapons

In the middle of a dry lakebed northwest of Las Vegas sits a lone section of a bridge, its steel girders bent like spaghetti. Nearby are other oddities — a massive bank vault with no bank for miles; the entrance of an underground parking garage with no lower levels; and domes of rebar and concrete that have been ripped open, leaving their insides exposed to the desert sky.

Great couple’s costume if you know a bit of baseball history.

Dallas Cowboys talk on an NBA set. I didn’t know Shaq was a fan, but Chuck ain’t wrong.

Charles Barkley: “They have us contractually obligated to talk about the Dallas Cowboys every day even though their defense can’t stop a bloody nose. … Don’t trade your best defensive player and then whine about (how you) can’t stop anybody.”pic.twitter.com/HY4TaZq7cc

Personally, I think this is better than The Great Pumpkin.
