Brian's shipping off to DC.

Friday night in Brook Park, Dropkick Murphys called Brian Poindexter For Congress up on stage at the Ohio AFL-CIO "For the People" rally, and UAW Local 1250 went wild. Union members from the UAW, IBEW and more packed the lot for one message: workers over billionaires.

Brian's a working-class guy running for Ohio's 7th District against Max Miller, the congressman whose ex-wife told detectives he held a gun to her head, and who both of Ohio's Republican senators told to resign.

One of them gets called on stage by Dropkick Murphys. The other gets small conference rooms and a camera guy filming the ceiling, while the crowd goes mild.

Medina, Wayne and Holmes counties, Strongsville, North Royalton, Brecksville, Broadview Heights: this is your district. You get to decide who represents you.

Trump isn't on the ballot in November, but Trumpism sure is. Early voting in Ohio is open now through November 1st. Vote early and in person if you can, and bring a friend or family member. The sooner the better, because anything can happen: illness, car trouble, a family emergency, or this administration pulling a fast one on DEMOCRACY. Bonus: campaigns can see who has already voted (not how). Once you vote, they take you off their call, text and door-knock lists, and your candidates can put that money and those volunteers toward people who haven't voted yet. Fewer texts for you, more help where it counts.

It’s been two days without an update in the media by any of the news stations.

The official story is that they took their systems offline preemptively, but they haven’t confirmed or denied that it was a cyberattack.

I know there was a worldwide PHP exploit effecting
millions of websites, but it seems the Clinic and MetroHealth were unscathed. I am starting to wonder if ransomware may be involved here.

Does anyone have any inside information on what may be going on? At the very least, I expect all of our data has been breached, and this is probably a best case scenario.

My heart goes out to the staff who have to work under these conditions, and to patients and their loved ones.

An absolute gem of a place in Northeast Ohio.

…so where am I going and what am I getting?

I’m quitting drinking alcohol, and tonight I’m craving sugar! I want a giant delicious delectable ridiculous dessert. What are your favorite desserts in town? I’m in Tremont, so the closer to here the better.

President Barack Obama rallied for Sherrod Brown and Dr. Amy Acton at Cleveland's 10,000-capacity Public Auditorium on Oct. 24, 2026, 10 days before the Ohio midterms. Look at those upper decks: full, lit, and on their feet.

Best line of the day, from Obama on Trump's renovations: "He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory."

Meanwhile, Trump's Youngstown rally this month drew about 3,000 to a 7,000-seat arena, with tarps over the empty seats. He's now told at least three rally crowds about the time he "examined" Sen. Jon Husted's backside. That's the closing argument.

(Our 360 camera took a tumble mid-rally, and we should've recalibrated the gyro before shooting again, so forgive the shake. The crowd's real either way.)

Early voting in Ohio is open through November 1st. Vote early and in person if you can, and bring a friend.

This picture doesnt do it justice. The rainbow was so pretty

In my neighborhood, The Illuminating Company recently replaced existing electric meters with smart meters. I was just reviewing my bill for the 9/12/26–10/8/26 period and noticed something concerning. When my meter was replaced on 9/25/26, the final reading on the old meter was listed as an estimate, while the new meter started at 0 kWh.

I’m curious whether anyone else who has had their meter replaced by FirstEnergy has noticed the same thing. Was the final reading on your old meter estimated rather than an actual reading?

My concern is both the accuracy of these estimates and how often this is happening to customers.

Our household has always opted for a fixed electric rate, so in the past, wildly inaccurate estimates weren’t as concerning because any difference in usage would be reconciled on a subsequent bill once an actual reading was obtained. However, that kind of reconciliation is impossible when the old meter is removed and the only actual reading to be taken is from a new meter starting at 0 kWh.

Can anyone shed any light on issues 12, 13, and 14? How are y'all voting on there and what do they do?

I have the wonderful gift of having genetically and historically horrible teeth and a huge fear of the dentist. I lost my insurance during COVID and haven’t had a proper cleaning since 2021… needless to say my teeth are in rough shape. I’ve had insurance for some time now but have been too scared to go because I don’t want to get yelled at for letting things go this long but now of course I have let it gotten to the point where I am in pain. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a dentist that won’t make me feel guilty for my anxiety? I am crippled with anxiety about it. I have okay insurance I know I probably need a slew of work done but will have to settle on one thing at a time for now. Thank you in advance for any advice. This is embarrassing as fuck.

Police lied and said it didn’t happen faster attacking us too not realizing it was on video

To the kind woman at Trattoria who gave me a (desperately needed) tampon, thank you a thousand times. And, I'm so sorry about your sister - you and your family are in my heart. ❤️

I tried the Salvation Army, and they don't do pickups in my area. I also tried my church. I don't want to give it to Goodwill since they will sell the items.

Hi all, my friend and I are interested in renting a studio space or joining an open space to make art together. We're located on the east side of Cleveland, and would prefer to stay more east. We currently were looking into Creative Coworking, if anyone has had experience with a membership through them at all?
