Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

Anthony Head (1954-2026) as Rupert Giles

It is, by any metric, a small country masquerading as a city.

It governs more lives and more wealth than most nations. If democratic socialism — housing reform, public banking, equitable taxation — functions here, it obliterates the myth that such governance can’t work at scale. The fear isn’t ideological. It’s empirical. Because if Mamdani can keep the lights on, reduce homelessness, and maintain economic growth without catering to Wall Street, then the capitalist gospel collapses under its own dead weight.

What terrifies the establishment isn’t failure. It’s feasibility.

If it works in New York, there’s no reason it can’t work in Nebraska. If it works in Queens, it can work in Kansas City. And once proof exists, belief becomes irrelevant. The ship of democracy, fully refitted, will keep sailing — and no one can claim it isn’t American."

Some excerpts from the article: "His death was announced by his daughters, actors Emily and Daisy Head, in a statement released on Friday.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our extraordinary father, Anthony Head,” they said.

“He passed away peacefully due to complications from pneumonia, surrounded by his family. It has been, and forever will be, an honour and a privilege to be his daughters, and to have witnessed firsthand the impact he and his work have had on so many."

"Anthony Head had a profound impact on the life of poet Jay Hulme, who has spoken publicly about the kindness the actor showed him during a pivotal moment in his life.

In 2015, Head was widely praised after it emerged that he had reached out to a young fan who was struggling after coming out as transgender. Hulme had previously taken photographs with Head at a fan convention before his transition, and the continued circulation of those images, along with the use of his former name, had become distressing.

After learning of the situation, Head and his long-term partner, Sarah Fisher, invited the teenager to spend a day with them at their farm.

“Back in January 2015, when I came out as trans, Anthony Head and his wonderful wife Sarah reached out and invited me to come to their farm for the day,” Hulme wrote on Twitter in 2019.

“They spent the day with me, took me to the fanciest restaurant I’d ever been to in my life, introduced me to their horses, took lovely photos, printed and signed them, and even gave me tips for an essay I was writing on Shakespeare for school.

“Most importantly, however, they gave me what I had been lacking in my life up until that point – affirmation, compassion, and belief in my abilities,” he said.

Hulme has since gone on to become a highly successful performance poet and author. He remained in contact with Head, who later wrote the introduction to Hulme’s first book.

Following Head’s death, Hulme reflected on the lasting impact of their meeting, saying the actor had taken him under his wing and shown him the kind of person he could become.

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that I’m the person I am today because of the kindness he showed me,” Hulme wrote on social media.
