It’s a Piazzale Loreto reference :)
Wikipedia: Piazzale Loreto was later the scene of the public display of Benito Mussolini's corpse on 29 April 1945. The day before, Mussolini, his mistress Clara Petacci and some other high- ranking Fascists had been captured and shot by partisans in Giulino, near Lake Como. Their bodies were taken to Milan and hung upside down from the roof of an Esso petrol station in the square, located between Corso Buenos Aires and Viale Andrea Doria.

The desk footage is good obvs, but Mamdani’s positioning himself in the center of the arch here is sharp like a particularly vorpal menswear guy skeet.
Mamdani is standing with trump in front of a large oil painting which is hanging inside a shallow alcove with a large arch entry. Zohran is in the center, while Trump is to his side giving a thumbs up like he’s getting a photo op with a celebrity (which he is, actually).

Oh
From splinter.com: Speaking of manipulating markets, 30 minutes before Trump's Friday post, someone opened a new Hyperliquid account and shorted Bitcoin to hell and made $88 million, I'm sure they have no connection to the administration, and this was just great timing! The stock market being up today is proof that the stock market thinks that Trump's threats are hollow and he's full of shit, while crypto is still bleeding, demonstrating how dependent on leverage and gambling it is for growth.

Fall radish harvest has become unexpectedly topical
A large radish, about eight inches long, with a bulbous end. The shaft of the radish curves out and slightly to the left. It is bright pinkish-red. It really looks like an engorged dick and balls, is what you need to appreciate.

Anticipatory billionaire schadenfreude of the day

Bloomberg via archive: archive.is/QkVZp
More luxury homes were sold in Dubai in recent quarters than any other city, including New York or London, real estate consultancy Knight Frank estimates. The surge in purchases recalls the emirate’s pre-2009 boom that was eventually upended by a sharp downturn in the so-called off-plan market, where homes are sold ahead of construction. Consumers from London to China have similarly taken hits when investing in property before it’s built, but the crisis in Dubai was severe enough to push the emirate to the brink of default. Yet, that pocket of the market now underpins the wider real estate boom in the Gulf city.

Some billionaire schadenfreude to brighten your day 💝

But its success has been marred by infighting among its wealthy residents, who cannot agree on how to solve the building’s growing list of problems without hurting property values. The condo board at 432 Park has filed two separate suits accusing the building’s team of developers of selling them defective units and of fraudulently covering up the issues. This summer, Mr. Macklowe tried to sell his three units in the building. He had to drop his plan, because he had defaulted on the loans used to buy them. It has attracted keen interest from engineering experts across the globe — first for its daring design and now for its many problems. “A 10-year-old building should not be showing that level of deterioration,” said Mr. Torero, who has studied construction defects in skyscrapers across the world and reviewed materials related to 432 Park at The Times’s request. “Nobody can argue that that is not a failure.”

Whoop whoop
Photo of a person with a sticker on their shirt. The sticker has a peach and “I’m a Georgia voter” on it, and “I SECURED MY VOTE” in all-caps, rather the typical “I voted” message, because the stickers were designed by right-wing wing-nuts who cannot be normal about ANYTHING.

Mmmm, goals
From https://enfolding.org/on-bagalamukhi/ “A few notes on the goddess Bagalämukhi, expanded from an entry in the London Tantra Discussion Group wiki. "I meditate on Bagalamukhi, who with her hammer has killed my adversary, his unsteady rolling tongue having been pegged; the all pervading paralyser of speech and mind; who is seated on the corpses and skulls of one's fallen enemies, (their remains forming the base) for her lion throne in the pavilion in the centre of a beautiful blossoming red lotus in the midst of the nectar-milk ocean." Hymn to Bagalämukhi, translated by Mike Magee.”

Surprised we had no K-pop Demon Hunters this evening.

We did get a couple princesses, a couple ninjas, a smattering of superheroes, a Cobra Kai and his friends the Lorax and the Devil, and an Edwardian British Convict Temporarily on the Lam with an elaborate backstory.

Adorable spiderpigging detail in this bittersweet WP story about ofrendas for pets

archive.is/fL05k
She put up a photo of Kai lounging on his favorite black-and-orange blanket, which blended with his fur and made him difficult to find around the house. The ofrenda has helped Palacios remember the cat who clawed at a box of tiny outfits until someone put one on him and jumped on the dining table to demand treats — not the cat who was sick for the last few months of his life, she said. A black cat, also known as a spiderpig, peaking out from the hood of a bear costume.

From that r/uga reddit thread Yes that's him, I have not seen him misidentified once. He is definitely not 5'10" though so he must've got to keep his boots on when they measured his height. Also he is 32 about to turn 33 at the beginning of November.

Yo, Georgia folks: go vote for Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard in the Public Service Commission election! Early voting in Athens-Clarke county is open now—downtown this week, and at the Baxter library next week.

Georgia Power's rentier shit is out of control. They need to be put on a leash.
Screengrab from my bill from Georgia Power this month. Last year at this time we used used 487 kilowatt hours at an averatge daily cost of $3.02. This month? We used 457 kilowatt hours (so less usage!) for an average daily cost of $6.12. OUR PRICE PER KILOWATT HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED IN A YEAR. THANKS, GOP! Just kidding, I hope everyone in the GOP drops dead in a pool of their own effluvia. While getting bitten by fire ants.
