everyone's talking about how bright and charming zohran must be, which is true, but then you remember the spider-brained cryptkeepers trump's surrounded himself with since '15 and realize a single smile from mamdani must have hit like barbecue spare ribs down the gullet of a 12th century peasant.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery

The lesson: always rawdog air travel. Unless you're in the cockpit, of course.
Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

Shower shoes are all the rage
Is the shoe of the summer... the humble flip-flop? It marks a movement away from the Y2K redux styles that have dominated for several years, and more toward a mall-jock breed of prep.
Flip-flops are the shoe of the summer. Duh!
Pricey sandals from The Row and ERL have the fashion world in a frenzy.

PSA to scientists: Google calculator appears to no longer do basic unit conversion correctly!
n.b. the correct answer here is 223.4 Myr, a factor of about 60 larger than Google's answer.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Also this additional tidbit from the WSJ scoop. Focus on the words "according to people close to the administration." That means people OUTSIDE the administration know that Patel has been telling people that TRUMP IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES.

It’s weird how the white conservative guys at the NYT get to say whatever they want but anyone else has to watch what they say because it’s “too political”
So, Jamelle Bouie criticizes an attempted-gotcha on Mamdani at NYT, then NYT asks him to remove any criticism from social, but the author of the attempted-gotcha works with impunity? Do I have that right?

11. The bigger question for the House GOP: why the hell do you want this job? Congress is a coequal branch. Your decisions affect every American. If you think that you should only do what Trump wants regardless of the ask and even if your constituents don't like it you aren't a representative.

10. The substance of this bill is terrible. But the details really aren't the point here. If you think adding $5T to the national debt so you can cut billionaire taxes while you make Americans sicker and hungrier because - I dunno, fewer taxes on tips - you've got deeper ethical issues.
