A cartoon illustration shows a man standing close to a mirror, leaning in and pointing at his own reflection. The reflected version of himself appears more serious and confident. Above the image, white text reads: “That’s right. You get in there & derail that conversation. It’s not about you, but get in there & MAKE it about you.” The meme humorously mocks self-absorbed behavior and people who make every situation about themselves.

Struggling, unwashed people trapped in a basement punch up through the tiled floor of an ornate ballroom, startling the rich people in white tie and tailcoats and frilly ball gowns who recoil in horror there at the thought their lavish party might be disturbed.
Are we finally, at last, reaching the point where the average do-nothing voter wakes up to the corruption? Asking for 330 million friends.

_From the Depths_, by William Balfour Ker, first published in _The Silent War_ (1906), John Ames Mitchell’s novel about the fantastical idea of demanding money from robber barons via threats of violence.
I have to wonder if this was the inspiration behind the music video for Against Me!’s “Thrash Unreal”

Holy ground there.
I subsequently met _more_ folks from Minnesota there. But the best part was a lovely young woman who, despite her knowledge of and self-consciousness of her ADHD, was incredibly charming and taught me the ways of proper Absinthe drinking. You go, Lexi!

diptych of stillframes from a youtube video: NYC mayoral candidate zohran mamdani pets a sleeping cat at a bodega, saying (in arabic and english subtitles: "how are you, chief? everything okay?")
sent to me this morning as we were celebrating this guy's victory in NYC.
when you build a coalition of voters, you always include the bodega cats.

Someone on Bluesky said that he's speaking Syrian Arabic (which clocks; his wife is Syrian) except when talking to the cat, when he switches to Egyptian Arabic (which clocks, because that is where the cat was worshipped as a god).
@snarkout that is amazing.

folk art painting of people handling snakes
I tried to come up with a suitable metaphor comparing snake handlers and crappy right wing politicians but it got way too convoluted, so I’ll simply say Yay Mamdani and tune in tonight for Snackpoint Charlie featuring actual snake handling ceremony recordings among our usual mix of music from elsewhere and beyond. 10pm ET tonight on WGXC 90.7-FM and streaming at wgxc.org

A reproduction of Al' Idrisi's map of the world
In 1154, Arab geographer Muhammad al-Idrisi’s 'The Excursion of One Who is Eager to Traverse the Regions of the World' was completed . It took over 10 years to finish.
A 1929 reproduction of his map (above) shows he didn't presume North is at the top of maps.

I've written a new short story, and you can read it or listen to me read it for free on my blog. https://kmalexander.com/2025...
Figured it'd be more fun to share it instead of just putting it in a drawer and forgetting about it like I do with most short stories.

Very nice.
I enjoyed listening and reading at the same time. Kept my mind from wandering.
You might open that drawer and share some more?

@roonie Yeah! Not sure when, though. I'm working on my fifth book, which has consumed most of my free time. Thanks for reading and listening along. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Soir Bleu is a 1914 oil painting by Edward Hopper that depicts an eclectic group of people at a Parisian outdoor party, notable for its theme of isolation and loneliness. The scene features a sad clown smoking a cigarette, a sex worker, a military man, and an upper-class couple, all of whom appear disconnected despite their proximity. The painting, which translates to "Blue Evening," uses a somber palette to explore the alienation of individuals in an urban setting, a recurring theme in Hopper's work.

Tag yourself. I'm the dude at far left with the cigarette whose date dumped him and walked out just a moment before and he hasn't processed it yet.
I’m the clown who mis-read the party invitation
But @ardgedee, *I'm* Pagliacci
I'm the guy in jeans and a t-shirt who forgot it was a "dress like the French" party and was excluded from all of the event paintings.
I'm the lady standing who has just confronted the clown about his philandering.

“Bruh, ya bugs” is my new email signature.
@Davezilla I prefer to read it as "Bruh, ya bugs" too.
Reads like Lord Buckley
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I can understand this completely.
not familiar with the source material but I'm surprised fish and birds don't share a day with the rest of the animals, leaving humans with their own day
@y95 I can see why you would think that, but then again: Fishes and birds did actually come before mammals. So for a totally pre-modern and pre-scientific account of the beginning of man, I think Genesis 1 could be worse. There is a start of the cosmos in an instant (the light), the earth exists before the moon (altough the Sun should definitely be moved to an earlier day), and there is earth before the oceans form – all these are things I am surprised people believed at such early times. (Let me just add that I don't think Genesis 1 was meant to answer *how* things started, but more *why*)

When I was real young the neighbor kids whose parents owned the gas station came over and graffitied our restaurant bathroom so we went over there to do the same. Every body else was writing nasty shit but the only bad word I knew how to spell was: "NO!" So I wrote it everywhere

Today, we had a three hour meeting for the Comics festival I'm working for *. We were talking about the long-term future. There was cake and coffee.
Some of my colleagues (all of them artists as well) thought I was actually working on an assignment - effectively doing two jobs at once, and making double pay. I had to disappoint them and explain that these are just doodles.
