JD Vance reveals his favorite meme of himself is extremely x-rated
Appearing on The Katie Miller Podcast on Monday (11 August), the US vice president said the meme he likes the most began circulating after the Pope died.
The meme in question features the Pope, Vance's wife Usha, and a couch. A fake passage from Vance's memoir Hillbilly Elegy about having sex with a couch when he was younger circulated during the 2024 election cycle.
The meme suggested that if these were Vance's options for the game of "F***, Marry, Kill," then the he would marry Usha, kill the Pope, and f*** the couch.
He said the meme was 'pretty good', adding that he hoped someone who was right wing thought of it.

'The Traitors' is opening its doors to everyday people. Here's how you can join the TV competition
The U.S. version of ' The Traitors ' has brought a group of public figures to a castle in the Scottish Highlands for a game of deceit, with hundreds of thousands of dollars up for grabs. Now, the Emmy award-winning competition will open its doors to everyday people. NBC is now casting for a civilian version of the popular Peacock series, the network announced Thursday. The competition reality series, an American spin-off to its British counterpart, had only cast celebrities for its first three seasons, the last of which aired early this year. The new version will bring a group of everyday people together to play what the host, Alan Cumming, called his 'treacherous game' in a video announcing the public casting. Cumming is set to host the new version as well, with production for the show starting in 2026, according to the network. Those who are interested in participating can apply now on the show's website. The fourth season of the celebrity version is set to launch next year, and a fifth season has already been confirmed. The star-studded cast for season 4, announced in June, includes reality stars from 'Love Island,' 'Big Brother' and 'Survivor.' 'We're thrilled to be working with NBC to open up the experience to a new group of civilian players, whose stories and strategies will make the gameplay even more unpredictable – and, we hope, even more addictive for viewers,' Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, the producers of both the Peacock and NBC versions, said in a statement. The show features a group of contestants who participate in a murder mystery game similar to Clue or Mafia. A subset of the cast are secretly labeled as traitors and must work together to eliminate the other contestants, who are considered faithfuls. On the line is a prize fund worth up to $250,000. If the faithful manage to eliminate all the traitors, then they share the money. But, if a traitor makes it to the end, they take it all. The British version uses the same location and has used civilian contestants from the start. Casting everyday people will allow complete strangers to meet for the first time, a 'unique opportunity' that 'will be an incredible watch,' said Sharon Vuong, the executive vice president of unscripted programming at NBCUniversal Entertainment. "This new version for NBC offers a unique opportunity for the cast and audience to meet each other for the first time and we know it will be incredible to watch,' Vuong said in a statement. The psychological adventure has found reality TV gold, and its third season premiered as the No. 1 unscripted series in the U.S., according to a release by NBC. The show also recently received five Emmy nominations for season three and previously took home two of the awards for season two.

Recollections may vary in the best Retros out now: SO LONG, SEE YOU TOMORROW, THE BATTLE OF THE VILLA FIORITA by Rumer Godden, DUEL DUET by Graham Greene
SO LONG, SEE YOU TOMORROW by William Maxwell (Vintage £9.99, 176pp) Based on real events of his 1920s childhood in rural Illinois, including his mother's early death, Maxwell voices an elderly narrator looking back on the tragic story of his friend Cletus Smith. Cletus's mother, Fern, had an affair with neighbouring farmer Lloyd Wilson, her husband Clarence's best friend, and they divorce. Driven to despair, Clarence shoots Lloyd dead before killing himself and Fern moves to Chicago with her son. Later, in Chicago, the boys meet in a school corridor and say nothing – causing a lifetime of regret for the narrator. But in retelling, he finds truth may be different from memory, and his search for forgiveness is fruitless. Extraordinary. THE BATTLE OF THE VILLA FIORITA by Rumer Godden (Virago £9.99, 304pp) When charismatic film director Rob arrives in their village, Fanny realises how suffocated she is by her marriage to Army colonel Darrell and raising their three children. So begins a passionate affair that ends in divorce and she and Rob flee to the beautiful Villa Fiorita, near Lake Garda. But devastated youngest child, Caddie, 11, travels with brother Hugh, 14, to the villa to bring their mother home – a mission complicated by the arrival of Rob's spoilt daughter and a boat accident. Descriptions of the Italian setting are gorgeous but the real strength is in the childlike perspective that cannot see Fanny's rekindled joy or the conflicting loyalties that dictate the ending. DUEL DUET by Graham Greene (Vintage Classics £18.99, 400pp) This ingenious volume of paired stories is a wonderful introduction to the short fiction of Graham Greene. Selected by novelist Yiyun Li, she creates either contrast (duel) or connection (duet) which sheds a new perspective on themes of conscience, crime, loneliness and fear. The twin children of The End Of The Party, holding hands in the dark to calm one's fear, sit alongside The Case For The Defence where an identical brother can save his sibling in a court case. The past and the future link The Innocent and The Destructors, and Cheap In August and The Moment of Truth both convey the power of human compassion in the face of impending death. A master at work.

Mogul who backed Boston's woke Dem mayor outraged after she erected BIKE LANE outside his mansion
A construction mogul who was once an ardent supporter of Boston's woke mayor has turned against her after the city built a bike lane right outside his mansion. Jay Cashman, 72, poured millions into Mayor Michelle Wu's election in 2021, but became outraged when the new two-lane bike path was erected outside his $19 million mansion on Dartmouth Street last year, according to the Boston Globe. It was just part of Wu's plans to build an an elaborate cycling network around the city, as she doubled the number of dedicated bike lanes in Boston since she took office to 15 miles. Her administration had identified Dartmouth Street 'as a bike corridor project' because it provides direct access to the Charles River Esplanade, which city officials called a 'daily destination for residents, commuters and visitors alike.' But Cashman has argued that these new bike lanes were hastily built and ignored critics' concerns, which ranged from safety risks, loss of parking spaces, more congested street traffic and slower response times for emergency vehicles. 'I'm for bike lanes, but I'm for bike lanes that basically are safe,' he told the Globe as he cycled through the city himself. The mogul is now using his wealth and resources to fight the mayor's plans to expand the bike network even further. He founded an advocacy group called Pedal Safe Boston and is convening neighborhood groups and meeting with lawmakers about legislative fixes to create bike lane standards. The millionaire has also spent a whopping $100,000 to evaluate whether a statewide ballot measure to regulate bike lanes would be a more effective way to make city streets safer. He is even backing a plan for city officials to consider removing or altering the bike lanes Wu's administration created and set new rules for them moving forward. Until then, Cashman argues, any construction on new bike lanes should be paused. The proposal is being backed by Democrat mayoral challenger Josh Kraft - the son of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. 'We really need to take the time to study how they impact business and figure out where to put them,' he explained to Bloomberg. Kraft has seized on the issue of Wu's bike lane rollout as an example of how the mayor does not listen to criticism and is out of touch with the business community. Advertisements and text messages from a super PAC endorsing Kraft have called the bike lanes a 'disaster' and proof that Wu's plans 'only make things worse' for the city. The messaging seems to resonate with at least some voters, as a February poll from Emerson College found nearly half of all registered Boston voters think the city has too many bike lanes. Another 35 percent said they believed the city has enough bike lanes and just 17 percent said there were too few. But cycling enthusiasts are wary of Cashman's motives. Someone even set up a website with his organization's name, describing it as a 'scam.' They say creating more bike lanes makes cyclists safer and are frustrated that Cashman has not worked with them to come up with a solution. 'I would just wish that Pedal Safe Boston would engage in the conversations already taking place as opposed to throwing stones from the outside,' said Galen Mook, executive director of MassBike - a nonprofit that advocates for improving bike infrastructure. 'There's a little bit of privilege with the Pedal Safe Boston team because they have influence and money,' he continued. 'They haven't actually gone through the literal decades' worth of work of how the city has been putting down bike lanes.' The Wu administration has also defended the bike lanes she put up and is continuing to advocate for even more bike lanes, with nearly two miles planned in Cashman's neighborhood in the next few years. She claims the bike lanes make roads safer, pointing to city data showing that crashes have declined by 51 percent on streets where bikers and drivers are separated by posts or other barriers. Advocates also argue that bike lanes can boost store traffic as cyclists take breaks. At a business forum in June, Wu likened the city's new bike lanes to a family rearranging furniture. 'Once you move it around, it's always going to feel very weird because you are so used to how it was before,' she said. 'Sometimes, you need to live in it a little bit to see if that actually works.' City officials have also noted that they held more than 50 public meetings on roadway projects last year, and amid the criticism, the Wu administration has taken down some flex posts - plastic bollards that act more as a visual cue than a physical barrier to protect bikers. David Wean, a member of the Boston Cyclists Union, also acknowledged that there are some issues - like when a lane abruptly ends and bikers are forced into the middle of car traffic. Still, he argues that much of the new infrastructure has made the streets safer as he railed against Cashman's plans for a pause. 'Insisting on absolutely complete, rigorous data is just a way of stalling it,' Wean said. Business owners, though, seem to be taking Cashman and Kraft's side in the debate. Meg Mainzer-Cohen, the president and executive director of the Back Bay Association, for example, claims the once business-friendly neighborhood has become a hazard for storefronts and delivery trucks. Bike lanes 'basically drove a stake into the functionality of the whole neighborhood.' In the Brighton neighborhood, business owner Richie Singh said he also saw his revenue decline 40 percent year-over-year after the bike lanes went up late last year. Some of his best customers were slapped with $100 parking tickets for blocking bike lanes. Worst of all, he said, he only sees two or three cyclists utilizing the new lane each day.
