If the main thing you want to do right now is to read a long, rambling, angry response by a non-Zionist Jewish now ex-Green Party Of England And Wales member to the not-so-hilarious antics of yesterday, then have I got the post for you: wayne.conniptions.org/2026/10/05/w... (It may not be, tbf)

Reflect Orbital: You know what people hate? Daylight saving. But what if there was a way we could take daylight saving and make it so very rich people can selfishly inflict it on you any time they choose? That's the part of daylight saving you hate, right? All doing it together?

It takes a toll.

4 frame comics. first frame shows espresso in a portafilter. second shows a coconut milk carton and a cup to foam milk with a thermometer. 4rd frame shows a small espresso machine making espresso. 4th frame shows a foamy cappuccino in a promotional Frozen the Musical coffee cup. The text, spread over the four frames, reads :
I wish that I could give cis
people a glimpse of what it
feels like.
to be villainized and
dehumanized in the media
every day.
to see your existence
being legislated against all
around the planet.
to see friends and
family members vote for
politicians who promise to
make the lives of people
like you worse.

In an incredible move, Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada has announced a gender-affirming care clinic for trans youth, asserting tribal sovereignty and defying the region's ban. It is one of the biggest cross-movement solidarity moments in Canada. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Are there also other kinds of Vengavehicles? I feel like there should at least be a Vengatrain and a Vengaboat. Then probably a Vengabike with multiple Vengasidecars. Like on Metalocalypse, but more Venga.

I'm not into westerns so I never checked out Ted Lasso. Similarly, not being a fan of home renovation shows, Game of Thrones had even less appeal to me. Who wants to see couples competing to fix toilets?

One of my children’s primary school class is spending this term studying “Reality”. Are dreams real? Can our senses fool us? When you make a copy of a thing is it still the same thing? Culminating in an "in depth film study of The Truman Show”. I look forward to him getting more of my dad jokes.
