My favorite comment on the FT story

I think a lot about how Michelle Obama remarked on regularly being in rooms with the most powerful and wealthy people in the world and her chief takeaway was that they're just not that smart

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

It really feels like they’re trolling our autocrat.

I was trying to recall who Trump reminded me of as he constantly demanded the Nobel Peace Prize and it’s Paul Rudd playing the halfwit, nepo-baby, wannabe politician in Parks and Recreation 🫠

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year: www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Higgledy piggledy Timothée Chalamet Has a name meriting Endless design Much like his forerunner Benedict Cumberbatch: Hexasyllabically, Easy to rhyme

Words to live by 🙌

People who think the idea of "give me ideas" is something genuinely creative people want have literally never experienced the absolute EUPHORIA of a brainstorming breakthrough, either solo or with a human collaborator. They don't understand what is happening when artists create, on a basic level.

Better late than ever, but hard not to roll one’s eyes at how credulous the manosphere podcasting bros were when they indulged Trump during last year’s election campaign

Oh fuck off.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

An important piece. 👇

Zelda Williams nails it, AI “art” is repulsive

This excuse might have worked for 2016 but not for 2024. They knew and yet, they still voted for all of this.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city. They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

Aside from what’s always present in our kitchen (eggs, bread, ABBA anchovies, Norwegian “kaviar” in a tube, the usual suspects) I’ve added some favourite ingredients below Naomi’s post, and hope you’ll play this game too! 🥰 #KitchenTreats

“Don’t give up” Impossible not to be moved by Jane Goodall’s gentle words of encouragement here (and she was right about gathering all the worst monsters on this earth and shooting them into space on one of Musk’s rockets) From ‘Famous Last Words’ on Netflix

¡Ándale! That’s the spirit of defiance we all need right now

🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud: “We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

Capitulating is the right word. Tech broligarchs wanging on about the supposed wonders of AI have yet to persuade a lot of us that ceding our agency to them is worth the price of becoming a zombie 🙅‍♀️

No notes, this is a perfectly reasonable summary

Grim. The only consolation is the most miserable Vice President in history can never and will never experience happiness because he sold whatever soul he had to the devil.

Three cheers for renewable energy! More of this please ⚡️

Weeks before his death, you say?

Exactly, dump sand in Trump/Miller/Vought’s gears and anyone enabling/acquiescing to them

Can’t believe they didn’t give it to Taylor Swift

Can confirm Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile deserves an Oscar. Throw in a Nobel Peace Prize for good measure.

In a saner world we’d ban malignant narcissists and sociopaths from standing for public office, put them all in a ticket with Elon and wish them the very best of luck on Mars 🚀

feels a bit weird that we keep having these stories about individual cyber attacks but without anyone really joining the dots and going "okay, shall we maybe talk about this as a major global story"

“Wow! Fantastic! Real fame at last! Fancy being in a Gary Larson cartoon!” Amidst so many wonderful tributes to Jane Goodall, I thought I’d share this delightful detail for anyone else who grew up admiring her, and Gary Larson’s Far Side brilliantly bonkers cartoons www.salon.com/2025/10/01/j...

“Socialism for me but not for thee!” Only if you’re in the global authoritarian-demagogue-chainsaw-wielding network though…💸

It won't be long till only old people like us get this joke. It's brilliant.

Vance's most monumental achievement to date has been being told off by two popes in one year.

The generals are calling them “Fat Man” and “Little Boy” because of how badly they bombed.

Team Europe prevailed in the Ryder Cup, England's roses won the rugby World Cup and it's a beautiful, sunny morning in London. Now the challenge is to maintain that sliver of good cheer in the face of relentless bad news...

This is very funny thing for a President to say, but it's a truly fucking bananas thing for a President to voluntarily tell everyone he said.

History is like science and free speech. It doesn't exist for you to agree or disagree with it, it exists for you to listen to it.
