You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.

Elon Musk endorses Cuomo for mayor of New York and makes sure to add some racism in there: “…Mumdumi or whatever his name is.”

Elon Musk: Remember to vote tomorrow in New York!
Bear in mind that a vote for Curtis is really a vote for Mumdumi or whatever his name is.
VOTE CUOMO!

Good morning.
I don't know who did this, but I love you.

An abandoned building by the beach where a window overlooks the sea. The water through the window resembles a painting, so someone has scrawled Free Rothko on the wall.

I was fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. proteanmag.com/2025/11/01/w...

The rules
Iwas fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. A total bloodbath. The referee would have stepped in by now but they had knocked him out with a steel chair. The only others watching were either fascists themselves or the people trying to fight fascism with the power of love and kindness and they weren’t having a great go of it either. I kept trying to explain in between haymakers that we were better than this and on top of that it wasn’t likely to be ruled on favorably as far as the courts. None of it helped. I was on my knees now bleeding profusely from the mouth and nose. It spilled out of me onto the snow in a pattern that if you sort of squinted at it from the right vantage looked like a cartoon heart. See that I pointed. Look how beautiful the world can be I tried to say through my broken teeth. Alright well now he was pulling out a gun. I didn’t think we were allowed do that.

Laurence Fox wrote a song about Charlie Kirk, and this is the only comment on it.

Comment says "this may be the worst thing that has happened to Charlie's Kirk this year."

Vivid memory of everyone in the class getting up and cheering when the Jacobites made their crap, doomed charge. I think that says quite a lot of about Scottish psychology.

I took this image from somewhere else and can't write all of these out on my phone, so if you're reading this because you need the alt-text, take the opportunity to brainstorm some good ones of your own.

Philip Larkin’s this be the verse mangled into Ozymandias, the text reads

They Oz you up, your mandyias.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They give you vast and trunkless legs
A sunken shattered visage too.
But they were Ozzed up in their turn
By Mandyias upon the sand
Who half the time had wrinkled lips And half in sneering cold command.
Oz hands on mandyias to man.
Like mighty works atop a shelf Look on them early as you can
Ye mighty and despair yourself

…which, tbf, is actually just like the original RTD run for me - didn’t usually love his series openers/finales but often found the middle of them had some bangers

I suppose actually that the middle run of his first season, from Boom to Rogue, was v strong

Roddy @josherick3.bsky.social · 4d

I’ve been making my way through the last few seasons quite slowly and I’m just finding it a real slog tbh. I’m not even sure I think it looks good (lux aside). Any big change is good at this point imo! Shame because I think Gatwa was excellent when given half a chance.

Sam watching helplessly as Frodo starts to identify with Gollum, a weird, transparently insane bald freak in a diaper who eats live birds and mutters about murdering Sam and Frodo all the time, was a mood without a strong modern parallel until people started falling for AI.

I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires.

There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.
