FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

So Harry Kane won.

I like Lamine's brooch.🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽

Wow Microsoft.

Your vote matters.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins fourth term, according to electoral court.

Come on Brazil.

Obama argues that we won’t fix our political problems unless we rediscover our moral compass first

MICHIGAN, BRING IT HOME! 🔥 Barack Obama reminds voters to vote Democrat all the way down the ballot. From the top of the ticket to the very last race. No skipping races. No sitting this one out. #BlueWaveIn10Days

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius commander of the armies of the North..." Russell Crowe really hit it out of the park in Gladiator.

Someone on insta said if you can vote for Dancing With the Stars you can vote in the midterms.💯

Hello you. Have you checked your early voting dates?

The Diplomat.🥰

Two of my favorite photos that I took in October. #myphotos #amateurphotography #streetscenes

I am the only person who thinks this famous stylist is annoying. Lol.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

The girlies in London are wearing high waisted wide leg jeans.

Wear the thing. Eat on the fancy dishes. Go to that place. Spend time with your people. Life is for living.🥰

😊

So many school kids in uniform on class trips at the various museums. I love that. And no entrance fees for the museums I have been to.🥹

Are you even here if you don't head to the pub and try the fish and chips.

Some tourists (like myself) asked me if I knew where was the train station. I had just walked past it so I pointed them in the right direction. Now I am a Londoner.😝

One of these things is not like the other.

"I'm taking my freedom Pulling it off the shelf Putting it on my chain wear it around my neck I'm taking my freedom Putting it in my car Wherever I choose to go it will take me far..I'm livin' my life like it's golden. Livin' my life like it's golden." 🎵🎶 Golden- Jill Scott

SUSAN COLLINS: My heart goes out to the family of the man who was shot in Biddeford. My Duran Guerrero TROY JACKSON: Well the man's name was Johan Sebastián Guerrero. That was his name.

Ms. Jill Scott.

What a night!!!! Jill Scott. Royal Albert Hall, London. 10/13/2026.🫶🏽

Walkers prawn cocktail potato chips. Not mad at it.

Just overheard this exchange at breakfast. Guest "excuse me your grapes are small." Male worker "its not me. I did not supply them." 😆

BP.🤭

Colors.

What works for me to not be jetlagged is drinking water and movement. Walking + hydration.

When your bag randomly matches the color of the soft furnishings.

BREAKING: Former President Barack Obama endorses Troy Jackson for U.S. Senate in Maine: "Troy Jackson is running to be your next senator and I'm proud to be on board" Obama cites Jackson’s record on wages, drug prices, school meals, and abortion rights as Democrats target Susan Collins' seat.

Ok. East of Eden.

Sometime late yesterday one of the neighbors installed massive skeletons in their front yard. A giant male skeleton holding a giant skeleton dog on a leash. I was so shocked because they were not there yesterday I neglected to snap a Pic. The skeleton also has a purple crown perched on its head.😆

A Different World. 🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽

No other city in the world has 4 universities in the top 50. Congrats to Imperial, UCL, King’s College and LSE. Another feather in London’s (graduation) cap as the greatest city in the world.
