Snaps from the past two days in Prague. ♡

St. Nicholas Church, which took 51 years to build; Speculum Alchemiae, an alchemists' lair with the house and cave system dating back to the 10th century; Vrtba baroque garden, and the colourful roofs of Malá Strana historic district. 🌹🍂

Opulent and decorative high baroque church with impressive frescoes. Absolutely monumental and huge.

Decorations at the Speculum Alchemiae museum in Prague. Dried herbs and peculiar little alchemy bottles. Wooden interior.

A shot of Malá Strana District in Prague taken from high up over the roofs. The domed ceiling of St. Nicholas church can be seen on the left side.

This anthology, Palestine -1: Stories from the eve of the Nakba, is out for preorders and looks like a worthwhile bunch of speculative fiction (not that anyone needs my assessment of its worthwhile-ness!).

I also have reliable word that @soniasulaiman.bsky.social has a new story in this anthology.

these studios love wasting money on live-action adaptions that would have been better off as animation moments, or should have just stayed animated.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is everywhere. But it didn't start that way.

There was a time when the mayoral front-runner was polling at 1%, tied literally with "Someone Else." Now he has an 80,000-strong army of volunteers, a killer social strategy, and the internet on his side.

The Big Interview:

Zohran Mamdani, the Internet’s Mayor

Mere months ago, New York’s mayoral front-runner was polling right next to “Someone Else.” He spoke to WIRED about building a social media machine, Big Tech capitulation, and learning from Eric Adams.

To be clear, these apartments have been sitting empty during the Adams administration, when there were NOT rent freezes, but somehow a potential future policy is the problem.

The New Yorker @newyorker.com · 11h

There are thousands of rent-stabilized apartments in New York currently sitting vacant. Some landlords argue that Zohran Mamdani’s rent freeze would keep them empty.

Would Zohran Mamdani’s Rent Freeze Keep Rent-Stabilized Apartments Empty?

Thousands of apartments in New York are run-down and vacant. Some landlords argue that a rent freeze, paired with preëxisting housing laws, would keep them that way.

I’m watching season 3 of THE DIPLOMAT on Netflix and it’s amazing. The showrunner and the cast are from THE WEST WING. But I am mourning the loss of even being able to pretend we have intelligent people in the White House.

Thoroughly enjoying the new season of THE DIPLOMAT on Netflix, created by Deborah Cahn. Keri Russell stars as Kate Wyler, a former CIA operative who is unexpectedly appointed ambassodor to the UK. Season 3 just dropped on Netflix, but if you're new to the show, please start at the beginning.

Grijalva not being sworn in means she doesn’t have access to funds as a member of Congress, which means she can’t help her constituents. She has repeated this multiple times and Mike Johnson knows this but he’s going to keep lying about it anyway.
www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/a...

The delay is impacting Grijalva and her constituents here in ordinary but important ways. Her office has no money because running it would require a congressional allowance and access to taxpayer funds, which she does not have. She can't log on to her government computer because she doesn't have the right password, and she has to wait in line with tourists to access the U.S. Capitol.
"I don't have a budget. The budget is a big deal," Grijalva told MSNBC on Friday. "I actually had people reach out and say, 'I went to your dad's office and nobody's there, because that office was closed on the date of my election, so those services are done."

New York Post editorial board calls on Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa to drop out to boost independent candidate Andrew Cuomo: nypost.com/2025/10/20/o...

Swallow the bitter pill, Curtis Sliwa — quit the race to stop Zohran Mamdani

It’s time for Curtis Sliwa to face reality, and admit that the city’s best hope to avoid the disaster of a Zohran Mamdani mayoralty is for him to drop out of the race.

St Bartholomew the Great Church, Smithfields, London. Perhaps its location beyond the city walls saved it from fashionable renovation down the centuries, leaving the Romanesque beauty intact.
