This Film often has the piss taken out of it for being a rather sedentary piece about 2 people just talking a lot — BUT — it has one of the most brilliantly prescient monologues imho. MY DINNER WITH ANDRE (1981) Have a listen.

Good morning & welcome to Roast Dinner Day When your thoughts start pulling you into a negative spiral, breathe deeply, be gentle with yourself, and begin again. Not every thought deserves your energy, and not every difficult moment gets to define your whole day 🧡

Meet my newest fabric art creation: Ronanan Raucous the Witch Homunculus. I designed and hand-sewed him, as well as his tiny witch hat. Ronanan knows a number of tiny spells that only work on tiny things. For example, he can turn an acorn into a slightly smaller acorn. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art witch homunculus Ronanan. He's a weird little gray humanoid with an oblong sort of head with wobbly black eyes with wobbly gray pupils. He has a black nose, an open black grinning mouth with two sharp gray teeth. He's wearing a hand-sewn black witch hat I made for him. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.Here's another lovely photo of Ronanan where he's resting on my palm with his hat beside him.

Very cool: When curator and filmmaker Susan Sollins founded the nonprofit Art21 in the late 1990s, her goal was to introduce contemporary artists to a wider audience by bringing documentaries about them to television and, later, to the internet.

To process the chaos, I'm spending a few minutes each night stitching a news diary—embroidering tiny icons representing an important story of the day. September offered a break from the blistering heat, but not from the deluge of (often) distressing news.

Not the least bit surprising but still extremely grim to read. time.com/article/2026...
Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.

CEO compensation has increased 1,316% since 1978. And worker compensation? Just 28%. The system is rigged. We need to start taxing the rich so they pay their fair share.

This Gloucester “terrorist“ case is so perfect. A few fellas get caught stealing agricultural fuel. Marco Rubio calls it an Iranian terror plot. Burnham agrees, admits they had no weapons, then lets them out on bail. The police confirm one of the men arrested actually called 999… on himself?
