Continuously baffled that Kash Patel, the kind of utter nerd who pays his respects to the departed by saying "see you in Valhalla," is the head of an organisation as infamously jock-heavy as the FBI. He'll be lucky if he isn't given a swirly on his way out.

My stint at the strike is over for today. Special thank you to the anti-fascist students who came down to show solidarity and gave me a bag of jelly sweeties!

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to strike I go...

Root canal part 3: after being so proud of myself for being such a good patient the last two times, this time I choked, got a gobful of dental solution that burned my throat, and nearly puked while reclining at a 60-degree angle. Pride cometh etc, etc.

Is it possible that some Gen Z/Gen Alpha people deliberately post ignorant takes because they're curious about something, but they don't want it showing up in their search history, and they know that some oldhead will eventually respond with a mini-lecture containing the info they're looking for?

@jfennellauthor.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 5:23 AM

There are kids over on the other thing complaining about Hellraiser Revival having too much BDSM stuff in it, and in the midst of my eye-rolling I had a thought: is this how they look for information nowadays?

Being told to calm down makes me imagine this in response, only the Doof Warrior is playing "Solidarity Forever" on his flamethrower-guitar.

Anyone who watches the execution livestream should keep quiet about after. Because decent people will think less of you for it.

โ€œRarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupidโ€ฆ In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws, he would make a Trump.โ€ โ€“ Nate White, ๐˜“๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜›๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด, 2019 Illustration: ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Ž๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ถ๐˜ด, pen and ink by Dutch artist Siegfried Woldhek, 2019

Pen and ink caricature of Donald Trump titled "Stable Genius" by Dutch artist Siegfried Woldhek, originally published on October 12, 2019, in the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad.

The drawing of a grotesquely snarling Trump features heavy, chaotic cross-hatching and a frantic, wildly expressive aesthetic resembling the eerie, dark illustrations of Stephen Gammell from the โ€œScary Stories to Tell in the Darkโ€ book series.

Woldhek, a widely recognized Dutch illustrator and portraitist is known for his sharp political drawings and caricatures of world leaders. The title โ€œStable Geniusโ€ is a mocking reference to a phrase Trump frequently used to describe himself.

Accompanying quote is from a piece entitled โ€œWhy Some Brits Detest Trumpโ€ by British writer Nate White, originally published in the London Times in 2019.

Read Whiteโ€™s entire piece here. (Itโ€™s well worth your time!)

You know you've made it when that Australian guy does a dramatic reading of your tweet for one of his youtube shorts.
