RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Sweet Home Chicago! Don’t know what American was worried about by being concerned with that right wing! Sounds normal to me! See for yourself! #OHare#AmericanAirlines
Here we are on American Airlines flight AA0490, still at the gate in PHL 1hr 25 minutes after scheduled departure. Last we heard we were waiting for a tow to maintenance, about 15 minutes ago. People aren’t as cranky as you’d think - maybe watching the close MNF game?
AGAIN announcements right at my crabbiest. Maintenance gives the all clear to my great surprise. Keep getting updates on boarding times while everyone is stuck on the plane. I miss my cats.

Entering hour two of extra time in Philadelphia. What would otherwise be good news to me about the Eagles losing is leavened notsomuch by the Cowboys winning but the mood getting increasingly reckless.
In cheerier news, the new/posthumous Olivia Tremor Control album rips.
"being anti-AI is ablest" is the kind of argument that does not require trying to explain why it's wrong, it's ok to just say "no it isn't and also fuck you"
NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report.
Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.
Harrison Butker needs to spend more time practicing his kicking and less time practicing an esoteric Catholicism that you can only access after watching 1000 hours of YouTube and growing a little beard.
Thread 🧵: the fraudulent transgender mailers have a connection back to Dallas, Texas, where a local Republican megadonor used a similar playbook years ago when he funded a fake BLM group to send letters to wealthy white parents that were designed to discredit the BLM movement.
CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.
Fond memories of watching my dad supine under the sink, gently cursing under his breath while working the pliers, stopping to ask me if I can get the 5/16” feather duster from the mud room.
I have to say, this has been a real monkey’s paw situation for me.
In the nineties (a pretty oversexed time) pornography was rare and expensive. I envision myself in today’s environment being fat and happy. But I also see so many examples of pornbrain out in the world that I don’t think was there.
(But was it really so oversexed or did puberty “hit me” as well? Or did my own insecurities supercharge private desires? Or was I just 14 and Catholic? Would that life can be examined and clearly answered.)
But anyway, yes. The ease of acquiring and the quality of that acquired is vastly superior.

The Archive Org team using AI to help patch a real time hack seems … fine?
Everything about it is beyond my understanding. I also don’t know the +/- of alternatives or where to read about them.
I love the organization and I can’t see why this would affect my future donations.
Thought: this was an Anthropic leak to make the company look stronger, as normal people would focus on the top line but the charlatans would hand wave that as “future obligations.”
Their revenue increase coming in large part from two entities is pretty funny; Ed’s not going anywhere.
Was it them or one of the other ones where the CEO said something like “we’re the most profitable company of all time if you don’t account for our expenses?”
JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday.
Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.
Hawley/GOP tipped them it was coming, and this is the absolute best they could do without alienating their source.
Pathetic. Dangerous, reactionary, racist, barbaric, evil, etc. But mostly, pathetic.
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political movement, during a heated exchange at a town hall. https://cnn.it/4s7r1TL
So how was I supposed to know that Jesse Welles can shred? Like, incredibly well?
His band was like the Elton John Band classic lineup, except if you swap out Davey Johnstone with any guitarist in Iron Maiden during the eighties.
Ok gotta admit the new Tesla release somehow cut through all my cynicism straight to my child core & reminded me that sometimes shit is just cool. I truly cannot wait to get my own hat (yes I think it’s stylish fuck the haters) full of infinite rabbits
