Today in The Daily Telegraph with is finger on the pulse of the nation: Something about a soggy bottom, I dunno.

It’s me. 👋

Add your joke about the writers room here.

You said you were my friend.

Depending on the yarn and fibers, a hand-knit sweater can be uniquely beautiful in a way that's not easily replicated by machine-made counterparts. Hand-knitting can result in a slightly uneven texture, which adds visual interest to an outfit. Machine-made knits can be quite flat in comparison.

What's extremely telling is that there is never once an article like this written from the perspective of the person who cut off their parent.

It was 28 degrees when I woke up. I am not ready for this.

I need to go a few towns over and pony up for the non-resident library card so I can watch Frederick Wiseman docs all day every day.

I saw Musk. Man, is that an epic documentary in all senses of the word. I’m going to need a while to digest it. I would love to know what was on the cutting room floor.

I love this little guy and would use him to visit my neighbors on the road.

It’s been a bad day, please don’t take a picture… 🙂‍↔️ “Bad Day” was released as a single on October 14, 2003. Here’s the video directed by Tim Hope.

Gotta love that dude gets another chance after being outed as a plagiarist and being a combative jerk about it. [Robert Plant Song Remains the Same Voice] Does anyone remember consequences?

Mellencamp is highly underrated, and it grinds my gears that he gets dismissed as Diet Springsteen. “Scarecrow” is a masterpiece, and following it up with “The Lonesome Jubilee” is a 1-2 heartland punch. And “Crumblin’ Down” is slept-on karaoke banger.

can't stop thinking about our latest Google review

Trying to explain to the younger generation that Republican sex offenders used to lose their jobs instead of getting reelected.

Also, plenty of effort to launch a revolution by white men, including McVeigh bombing in Oklahoma City and the Bundy Ranch and Malheur Wildlife Refuge. Plus Charlottesville. It’s not a lack of trying. I did a whole podcast about this: longshadowpodcast.com/podcasts/ris...

You could do worse than to rewatch the FNL pilot this weekend

Why does this look like tortured souls in the fires of hell?

I’ve watched two of the three episodes of the Kylie Minogue docuseries on Netflix, and I am rooting for that tiny Australian diva. Girl has been through it.

Fantastic exploration of the power of agenda setting.

One of my favorite memories from my wedding was dancing with my then 86-year-old grandfather to Pulp’s “Common People.” This is brought to you by my watching “What Do You Do For An Encore?” Recommended.

Erin says this much better than I could

When you cover a beat, you can become so immersed in it you lose perspective. Some folks who cover pop culture forget that for many, the cultural products they analyze exist only in the background. It’s the equivalent of saying “Oh, you’ve never seen this particular floral wallpaper?”

Peter Thiel praises evil. Peter Thiel hates democracy. Peter Thiel founded Palantir. Peter Thiel owns JD Vance. Peter Thiel is the most powerful billionaire in the United States. Peter Thiel can’t stop talking about the “Antichrist.” Find out why. Read “The Nerd Reich”

Speaking as someone who wrote a book on the government’s Doomsday plans, one challenge: “Martial law” isn’t actually something that exists in the US in the way it exists in other countries. There are ways to nationalize or deploy troops, but “declaring martial law” isn’t some magic button to press.

I’m only on Season 3 of Large Man Is Large With Heart of Gold and Thirst for Blood (aka REACHER). How did anyone on set allow the FBI agent to use that horrifically inaccurate Boston/New England accent?!?!?!

my argument for neutrals to get on board with the Red Sox look at this big galoot

Baudrillard: "It is no longer a question of imitation, nor of reduplication, nor even of parody. It is rather a question of substituting signs of the real for the real itself... Never again will the real have to be produced: this is the vital function of the model in a system of death"

Dream beat

At this point they're going to need to rehire Hank Hill back to straighten things out
