What's your favorite geometric shape?
I think I like them all. But circles are particularly good.
What I like about them is that the shape always "stays the same" (if it's a perfect circle). You can flip them upside down, but the 'new' top will look exactly like the old 'bottom', etc. (unlike a triangle, let's say). And of course the circle always "stays the same" in the sense that every point is absolutely equally far away from the center. No matter what point of the circle's outline you focus on, you're always looking at the exact same relationship between distances, so to speak. .... And then to top it all up you can fit other beautiful shapes - such as squares and triangles - into the circle. It's pretty neat if you ask me.

how about the humble point, stays the same no matter how you rotate or even zoom it, dimensionless and perfect, the numinous veil between something and nothing
not sure if it qualifies as a "shape", but it's the basis for all shapes, including the circle

Very good choice ... points, having no extension, truly ARE in a weird twilight-zone between being and nonbeing.

Well, that's what makes points so weird. They can hardly be res cogitans - unless you want to claim that they're thinking things. But they also can't be res extensa since they have no extension.
They seem to somehow be responsible for the mathematically describable form of extended things without being part of them. They're neither thinking human things, nor part of extended, physical reality.
So my guess is that they are some sort of goblin or troll-like entity.

this murdered me, I am dead:
A specialist sniffer dog called Dizzy found a piece of red plastic on the ground which Akinnuoye's housemates later identified as belonging to a set of knives.

I couldn't originally really relate to the tale, that of whatsapp-based bum-honour defended to the death, but when the bit about fucking Dizzy dropped, sniffing out a knife-handle-shaped piece of plastic, it all came harrowingly close to home and I had feelings. Hopefully Stormzy will use his next awards reception performance to call this shit out.

when does harmless teasing cross the batty crease and require "mans" to "get stabbed up?" is a bit of brown love so bad?

It makes sense to me. Like those Russians who got into an argument about Immanuel Kant in the supermarket and then shot each other. (or one guy shut the other on) .... I could easily see me do it if I imagine myself without some useful mental filters. .. It's a thin barrier between humor and dead-seriousness sometimes. Or not. Who knows.

As someone who simply Does Not See colour, I took it as read that Dizzy was albino.
