- Reading the story about the woman in Georgia who is brain dead and on a vent but not allowed to die with dignity because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she was declared brain dead. Even in death, our bodies are not our own. State-owned property.

- The plane being a White Elephant gift is the funniest turn this saga could have taken
- Forbes: The Qataris have been trying to get rid of that ostentatious luxury jet for five years, but no one would buy it. It costs too much to fly, costs more to maintain, and needs too big a landing strip. They had another one they unloaded on Turkey. Delicious. www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

- Weird greenish lighting (Hegseth spoke earlier and looked like a reptoid) and Trump's slathered on bronzer make him look like a rotting gourd. For an administration that's all about spectacle and sizzle, you'd think they'd actually be better at it.

- Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan is going off on the Trump administration during the birthright citizenship case: You “keep losing…every court has ruled against you.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
- Justice Jackson nails where we are right now: “Your argument turns our justice system into a catch me if you can kind of regime from the standpoint of the Executive where everybody has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order for the government to stop violating people’s rights.” 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
- Libby's Fruit Floats (1973-1975): A canned mix containing pieces of real fruit that, when mixed with milk, made a light and fruity pudding-like dessert. Available in strawberry, raspberry, peach, pineapple, and mandarin orange
- Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

- Over on X, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is glitching out and inserting information about “white genocide” in South Africa in response to hundreds of completely unrelated user queries about everything from sports to Medicaid cuts.
- It’s unclear what caused Grok to experience the issue. Musk, who is originally from South Africa, has described internal factions within the South African government as “actively promoting white genocide.” Donald Trump has expressed similar views.
- However, in a 2025 ruling, the High Court of South Africa called this narrative "clearly imagined," stating farm attacks are part of general crime affecting all races, not racial targeting. Read the full story: www.wired.com/story/grok-w...
- Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) welcomes RFK Jr. to today's House Approps Committee hearing by ripping 1) his "disastrous" HHS budget request (it cuts $33B from HHS) and 2) his "misinformation and lies" about vaccines. "Mr. Secretary, you are gutting the life-saving work of the Dept of HHS."

View full threadAlsobrooks tells RFK he had "the unmitigated gall" to tell the committee today that "China is ahead of the U.S. in health care because China does not have DEI." RFK: "I didn't say that." Alsobrooks: "Well we can roll back the tape. You absolutely did say that."
- Alsobrooks: You made it clear today you have no knowledge whatsoever of "the absolutely amazing scientists and researchers who you have callously fired." RFK: "I didn't fire any working scientists." Alsobrooks: "That, sir, is not true either." RFK: "It is true." Alsobrooks: "It is not true."
- Alsobrooks to RFK Jr: "You are the wrong person for this job. And you had in this hearing today the unmitigated gall to say at the beginning of your testimony that China is ahead of the United States in healthcare because China does not have DEI."
- The first 3 letters of 'Sweden' and 'Denmark' spell out 'Sweden.' The remaining letters spell out 'Denmark.'

- The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

- GOP Rep. Jeff Hurd: "I have serious concerns with this so-called gift from the govt of Qatar- security concerns, ethical concerns... but it's also a gift from a govt that supports terrorist organizations like Hamas. If a Democratic president accepted a gift like this, we'd be outraged."
- Swedish rust experts examine a five year old Model 3, with exactly the kind of horrifying results you'd expect from Tesla's under-validated California engineering. When people say "Tesla makes great cars," they have no idea what they're talking about! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KX_...
- This Tesla is roughly half the age of the typical American vehicle on the road today. Half! And it's rusting to pieces, including around critical structural joints, brake lines, important things of that nature.
