Remembrance Sunday is a time to think about those who often had no choice but to perform heroic acts on our behalf. I’m thinking of my hero, Simon.

Martin Short's performance as Larry David is hands down the best acting I've seen in my entire life. For a long while I thought it actually was Larry David.
the nfl on fox panel has barely finished discussing the eagles game when they introduce their newest sideline reporter: george santos, a man whose football résumé apparently includes more championships than tom brady and statistics that seem to have been calculated by throwing several sports into a blender. bowen yang plays him with the confidence of somebody who believes a fact becomes official once it's delivered into a microphone. 36 completions out of 25 passes? twelve touchdowns, seventeen rebounds and ten rbis? why stop there? at this rate, he won the super bowl, the nba finals and the world series before lunch. the panel keeps asking ordinary questions, and santos keeps handing them extraordinary reasons to regret asking.

Cartographer Chaney Swiney has created this wonderful annotated aerial photo of the North Cascades in Washington State, identifying the mountain peaks visible from an airplane window. A beautiful way to appreciate the region's spectacular geography. Source: buff.ly/Pd229P1

Trump signs order preventing future presidents from changing Oval Office bbc.in/4iBDz1j
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The proclamation Trump signed does not prevent future presidents from restyling the Oval Office, and a successor can roll back the proclamation itself, AP reports. pbs.org/newshour/polit…

STORMY pattern setting up along Canada's West Coast. Heavy rain, mountain snow, strong wind gusts, and huge waves. The pattern will drive a very warm pattern across Canada. Watch 👇

421 years ago today Robert Catesby, Guy Fawkes and others attempted a plot to destroy Parliament with gunpowder. Their failure is celebrated every year with bonfires and fireworks, making them the sworn enemy of pets across the country.

If someone behaves negatively towards you, it helps to remember that he or she is a human being like you and to distinguish between an action and the person who does it. If counter measures are needed to prevent someone doing harm, it's always better to do it with a calm rather than an agitated mind. If you act out of anger, the best part of your brain fails to function. Remember, compassion is not a sign of weakness.

Donald Trump likes to talk but today it's time for him to listen. Make sure he hears you, America.
