Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Beyond the sheer distastefulness of this, and the cultural leeching as I’ve seen people call it, if an average influencer (enough reach to get noticed) made this hype vid, the studios that own these movies would be on them so fast with ALL THE LAWSUITS.

The number of times I've been poured a "hazy" or NEIPA I can easily see through, or a "west coast IPA" that's tropical, makes me think you might be right.

For a long time, I thought the modern history of Iran began with the CIA overthrowing Mossadegh and installing the Shah in the early 50s. But the tragedies of that poor country go back much further. Read β€œAn American Martyr in Persia” by Reza Aslan for an excellent introduction.

From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for β€œIAEA” wrong.
They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel

Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

no, it's definitely not our car-first infrastructure, definitely not that EVERYONE drives like total shit now, definitely no relation to the multiple other car v noncar ax in the same area in recent years, it's that the driver was undocumented. that's the only reason. (also, no charges filed? geez)

I know the endless sports gambling promotion was already bad enough but for some reason this stuff (also Giannis and Kalshi, substack polymarket embeds, etc) gives me End Times vibes. Just dark as hell, all of it.

We watched Cool Runnings, mostly to introduce the kids to it (hey, that’s the guy from Home Alone!) a pretty unlikely pick outside Olympics time.

Also, I realized that today, we are the same number of years away from when that movie debuted (1981) than the movie was at its debut to when it was set (1936)

Enjoyed showing my 6th grader the first Indiana Jones movie tonight. She liked it but was INCREDULOUS at the end. β€œThat’s it??! They just go β€˜get a drink?’ He’s supposed to win? Why are there so many boxes??? Ugh, that was the WORST!”

I was dying 🀣

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
