The fall goat (October 2026 goat nominations)
4It’s officially fall now, the days are getting shorter, and soon it will be Halloween. September is almost over too, which means @accelerator’s reign as the monthly goat will soon be coming to an end too.
Who will be next? That’s for the community to decide – so nominate away!

@f00l
@accelerator didn’t accelerate for long,
or is there more to that gif?
@accelerator @phendrick
I just ran the /GIPHY search function
If there’s more to the gif, I don’t know
We had a goat? I wasn’t sure we even still had a goat thread.

@phendrick I bumped it back up earlier; the 'thon had fully buried it since it’s no longer allowed to be pinned the way it used to be.
This needs to be pinned. Ask tptb?
@f00l Maybe the secret “SPAM word” would get their attention to visit this thread.
(As long as they don’t delete it though!)
I hereby nominate @cbatte to be the October “Fall” Goat!! As the 1st recipient of the “Almost Instant” (Next Day) IRK, he should be equally thrilled with the honor and prestige of induction into the meh society of monthly goats, past and present!
@MrGoodGuy Wow! I had no idea that breaking the land-speed record for a box of regret would be accompanied with a nomination. I’m flattered—and deeply concerned—by the consideration.
@cbatte @MrGoodGuy
You’re got MY vote.
As for the irk, it can languish a while since I’m on a 2 week leaf peeping trip…
@cbatte
You might be fast. But not tast enough to escape Goatdom.

Hey @narfcake @thumperchick @extramedium
Is there a way to get this topic temporarily pinned?
@f00l Until the selection is done.
@ExtraMedium @f00l Well cool Thanks!!
@ExtraMedium @Narfcake @thumperchick
It is October 1st so if this was the only attempt at nomination. Pinned goat thread that has a link to the “election”. Goat thread must be pinned or what are we even doing here.
Don’t make me bring in Cory Doctoro and enshitification. Meh is better than that.
Next up to bat for the GOAT: @cbatte
A hardcore meh fiend having placed 10 orders and voted in 1107 polls. @cbatte clicked the meh button 1888 times, 35 days in a row, with a longest streak of 111 days in a row.
WELCOME. THE. OCTOBER. GOOOOOAT.
Ya know put some heat on it.
@cbatte I just posted cat pics for a month and responded to blames with that sucks. Or sometimes something related.
THE GOAT MUST DIE ON!!!
