I've seen enough: Steve Toth (R) defeats Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) in the #TX02 GOP primary.
Any "What to do in Vegas" piece that fails to mention Omega Mart is suspect.

"Donald Trump, 79, Steps Out with Scabbing Neck Rash at Medal of Honor Ceremony"
Quite the news alert from People
That's a good one, but this one also sick.

two opinion pieces about the ROTOR Act.
Bizarre scenario in which WaPo's opinion section is covering the legislative response to last year's midair crash in DC, but the news pages are silent.
"Going to nationals this year in January was the first time I really watched figure skating since I competed"
Interesting nugget here. Sasha Cohen says she hasn't really watched figure skating since retiring in 2010.

Fun article, but something seems to have gotten garbled in the chart.
“If you’ve ridden trains in Europe, you’re going to say, ‘OK, these are pretty normal train sets,’” Mr. Mathews said. “But if you haven’t ridden trains in Europe, you’re going to walk through these trains and be like, ‘Holy crap, this is fantastic!’”

Three of the no votes are still on the court!
WSJ reports: Whistleblower complaint that has stalled under Gabbard pertains to Jared Kushner. About an intercepted call that "at least in part concerned issues related to Iran" in which 2 people talk about Kusher with allegations that "would be significant if verified." www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Truck freezes in Jersey Shore lake after driver cracked through ice doing donuts: Eagleswood Township Mayor Michael Pasternak called the man's stunt 'stupidity at its finest.'

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.
On the “talking filibuster.”

parenthetical explaining Bad Bunny is "from Puerto Rico, an unincorporated territory of the United States."
Even this parenthetical is insufficient. He's a United States citizen!
Who wants to anonymously tell him?
One of my kids used to love to play with little matchbox cars. Was obsessed with them. Then, one day in kindergarten he decided they were for babies and never touched them again.
These have been my running gloves for about 5 years, they sometimes are a little dodgy when it comes to phone but mostly work.

The NYT quoted Mary Matalin as describing Rush Limbaugh as "sweet, generous," when she actually said he was "sui generis."
Similar such fun in this Hall of Fame correction.

This is the top story currently
Sadly it's going take extra long to get home from work tonight due to the winter storm that's poised hit roughly 30 hours from now.
I only ever watched it because someone left a review VHS copy in the mailroom of the building I lived in. You won't be sad if you miss it.
Wait til you get to Crash, woof.
HED: "court removes restrictions on ICE's use of pepper spray, for now."
I suppose this new hed is slightly better but doesn't come close to conveying true real-world outcome.
I don't understand how that hed could have been approved at NYT, it's utter legalese gobbledygook.
US court allows ICE to arrest and pepper-spray peaceful protestors in Minnesota
Appeals Court Stays Restrictions on Federal Tactics in Minnesota The Eighth Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request to block, at least for now, a lower court’s injunction limiting how federal agents interact with protesters in the state.
One court decision, two different headlines.
Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?
Enrico Pallazzo not available?
The early pages can defeat you bc it's a lot of "Robert Moses was really good at reading bills" kind of stuff. I'd say if you don't read anything else, just read "One Mile," about the making of the Cross-Bronx Expressway. It's epic and you don't really need to have read anything before that.
