Pantone's 2026 colour of the year is surely the zenith of the minimalism stoicism clean girl trad wife real man unseasoned boiled chicken traditional values Christian nationalist fascism as aesthetic layers of stone beige bone tan

We need to end this
A screenshot of the Pantone website showing the swatch for the colour of the year The text reads: With its expansive presence, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer invites a space where function and feeling intertwine to build atmospheres of serenity and spaciousness, providing a refuge of visual cleanliness that inspires well- being and lightness The colour is an insipid beige white, a colour with the personality of a whitewashed concrete cell. The colour of depression when you've finally really given up. A void of colour. It looks like an unseasoned boiled chicken breast.

GAME ON MOLLS #Ashes
View of the Gabba from the top deck. It's sunny, the grass is green, the stadium is packed. You can hardly see the players but Mitchell Starc is getting ready to bowl the first ball of an Ashes test to Crawley

counterpoint:
Travis Head is sitting in a lounge chair wearing his Australian cricket uniform and wearing his World Cup medal, speed-dealer sunnies, and a cap. He is visibly drunk, yelling and doing double finger guns

I don't share your hate for Smudge, but can I interest you in some Travis Head heroics?

but sumos buying Paddington bear plushies and riding lime bikes are my absolute favourite
Two sumo wrestlers wearing traditional dress smile at the camera. They are standing behind a rack of plush Paddington Bear dolls and the sumo on the left is cuddling a Paddington to his chest Three sumo wrestlers in traditional dress on Lime bikes, in a line one behind the other as they wait at a red light on Park Rd, in London.

All of these poses are perfect
Two Japanese sumo wrestlers in traditional dress pose in front of an ancient Assyrian relief sculpture. The sumos - Abi Masatora and Takakeisho Mitsunobu - are in traditional dress and hold their hands upturned in mimicry of the sculpted figures. A Japanese sumo wrestler stands in front of the gates of Buckingham Palace. He is smiling towards the camera and pointing two fingers at the gate. Hōshōryū Tomokatsu, a sumo wrestler stands on the bridge in London. He's dressed traditionally, grinning widely, and gesturing to the houses of Parliament and Big Ben which are behind him. Four sumo wrestlers in traditional dress pose on a pedestrian crossing, replicating the famous photo of the Beatles at Abbey Road.

Bit late to this, but TENNIS IS ALIVE

Our government first denied the existence of this Australian contribution to the Israeli genocide of Palestinians and when it became undeniable, called these "not lethal in nature".

this old photo of Venus is stunning
A Black woman with natural, jaw length hair smiles broadly. She's wearing a visor and holding a tennis ball in her open hand. A tennis racquet is held loosely over her other shoulder.

I vaguely knew about the hedge fund manager playing at being a tennis player and had a pretty flat eat the rich response to it but I did not know that it was Jack Sock who facilitated it or that they lost to a doubles team featuring Bernard Tomic
KEY FACTS Ackman announced his wildcard selection on X last Wednesday, writing that former Grand Slam winner Jack Sock managed to list him as his doubles partner at the Hall of Fame Open in Newport, Rhode Island -he also said he was "pretty sure" he would be "the oldest person in tennis history," at 59 years old, to win Association of Tennis Professionals points. Social media users mocked Ackman after he and Sock lost 6-1, 7-5 to Australians Omar Jasika and Bernard Tomic, and an op-ed published in USA Today slammed Ackman's entry as a “mockery of pro tennis," blasting Sock for giving “no indication that he's planning a comeback" and Ackman because "you can't find results" on him “in any of the public tennis databases kept by the USTA." A man dangles mid air from a harness while wearing a helmet and jumpsuit with elbow pads He looks completely gormless A shirtless man sits in a TV set which appears cheaply designed to what could be charitably called a "tribal" aesthetic He looks completely gormless

Happy Birthday Emma Goldman
You always knew, and you'll always be a hero of mine. (Quotes from Preparedness: The Road To Universal Slaughter, 1915)
A hand with green nails holds a mug with Emma Goldman's mug shot on it. Emma's mouth is askew in a sneer, and her eyes seem to be beseeching the viewer to be better. Quotes from Emma Goldman's "preparedness, the road to universal slaughter" from 1915. It reads: the jingoes and war speculators are filling the air with the sentimental slogan of hypocritical nationalism, "America for Americans," "America first, last, and all the time." The pathos of it all is that the America which is to be protected by a huge military force is not the America of the people, but that of the privileged class; the class which robs and exploits the masses, and controls their lives from the cradle to the grave. No less pathetic is it that so few people realize that preparedness never leads to peace, but that it is indeed the road to universal slaughter.
