How Mr Cardamom convinced 85-year-old Madhur Jaffrey to swear A tribute to his maternal grandmother, Nani’s foul-mouthed celebrity connection has transformed the rapper’s career

This must be the first Guardian story about Zohran Mamdani: a piece about when he was a rapper and got Madhur Jaffrey to lip-sync in one of his videos. The following year he quit the rap game to get elected to the New York State Assembly

In November hares come to wood edge. Most say this is for cover, for food. Yet more than one old countryman has told me they come to pay tribute to the wood itself, to have one last dance with the Moss Maidens before their cold sleeping. At twilight they feed and mutter omens. - #CLNolan

Goodnight, Hookland.

Fanart/Illustration by KYUUOKU of anthropomorphic Nala from Lion King Disney movies like a Lorcana TCG illustration. She wears a Kenyan costume made of fabric pieces decorated with geometric patterns and has gold jewelry, holding a magical scepter glowing with flames while standing on a rock (one leg bent and the other relaxed) against a plain background of a red/crimson Kenyan sunset illuminated by a blue aurorboreal sky.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE Everything except language knows the meaning of existence. Trees, planets, rivers, time know nothing else. They express it moment by moment as the universe. Even this fool of a body lives it in part, and would have full dignity within it but for the ignorant freedom of my talking mind. Les Murray

THE SKULL RING I am very excited about the skull ring. I didn’t know anyone would think I wanted a silver skull ring. Now, when I am rude to those who oppose me, I can just look down at the skull ring. It has ruby chips in the eyes! Ruby chips like the nasty flame in my own eyes when I am insulted or reviled. No one will dare oppose me now in my hometown. For a very long time I have avoided rings because none of them seemed right for me. A skull ring is actually a good complement to my diabolical will. Thank you very much for the skull ring.

This is it. We can all stop making Youtube videos now because there is not beating this.

If you happen to be canceling streaming services for whatever reason, maybe throw a few bucks to a creative's Patreon or Ko-fi. Many have monthly tiers starting as low as $1, which may not sound like much, but if they get enough sign-ups, it could be life-changing money for those living on the edge.

Goodnight, Hookland.

Beautiful. Thank you
