The simultaneously frustrating and uplifting thing about tonight is that it has taken ordinary, decent American voters to do what GOP leaders and elected officials declined to do for two years: Say, "No. We will not participate in this continuing act of self-harm". Thank God for democracy but a little backbone and a little decency on the part of Republicans could have saved them and us from this. #Midterms26

For all my UK political friends who are US election addicts, this advice on how to handle the mid-terms is GOLD!
Pro tips for Election Day while you wait for polls to close: 1) Stop touching grass. Don’t go for a walk. Don’t exercise. Go home. Keep scrolling Twitter all day. The next tweet you see down your feed will definitely tell you what’s going to happen before anyone else knows. 2) Trust anonymous accounts. They are the most reliable sources of information today. 3) Overreact to everything. If you see someone say there are long lines at a Republican-heavy precinct, assume it’s a red wave nationally. If you see someone say a precinct is empty in a rural area, confidently declare that Democrats will win a supermajority in the Senate. 4) Anecdotes are to be trusted and extrapolated. Especially if they are from anonymous accounts (see #2), and especially if they are about how busy precincts are (see #3). Bonus points if they have a hammer and sickle or an American flag in their bio. 5) Don’t drink water. The whole “drink eight cups a day” adage is just Big Water™️ industry trying to make money off of you gullible sheep. Drink only coffee and energy drinks. Maybe a Four Loko circa 2010 if you can find one. 6) Look at the clock a lot. Contrary to popular opinion, time does go faster when you are watching the time.

About time. Rome prosecutor is reopening one of the most argued over convictions - the death of Italian Marxist filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini. Depending on your view, he was either bludgeoned by a male sex worker, or by three men with Sicilian accents. ilfoglio.it/en/justice/2026/…

Pasolini made Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, which was often reviled and, despite being an atheist, The Gospel according to St Matthew, filmed in southern Italy using villagers, which was loved, lovely and strange.

It seems a long long time since that wonderful Napoli side of 2022/3, breaking the years or Scudetto drought, demolished Juventus 5-1 in a blistering game. Today it was a tame, mediocre 0-2
🚨🚨| Napoli have recorded their 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐓 start to a Serie A season in 10 matches since 2009/10! 📉 → 10 matches played. → 14 points collected. → ✅ 4 wins. → 🤝 2 draws. → ❌ 4 defeats. Their latest setback was a 2-0 defeat to Juventus.

The visiting Indian media team covering their cricket team have beaten the NZ sports media XI with a four off the last ball, apparently.

This is awful. The author of “Jasper Jones”, a novel of outsider kids in Australia, coming of age, suicide and cricket, is jailed for child porn. A wretch. And a shattering wrench for readers who loved that book. abc.net.au/news/2026-11-02/c…
