I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...

The thing about being ruled by a gerontocracy is that cohort mortality is a probability density, meaning all these fuckers start dying around the same time -- in clusters. The same Weibull Distribution "bathtub curve" explains why batches of light bulbs and hard drives all die in the same month.

A line graph plotting the probability density function of a Weibull distribution over time. The horizontal axis represents elapsed time, and the vertical axis represents the probability of failure. The curve models a wear-out scenario where the shape parameter is greater than one.At the beginning of the timeline, the line starts near zero, indicating a very low risk of early failure. It remains low and relatively flat across the initial and middle stages of life. As time advances toward the right, the line curves sharply upward (called the "bathtub curve" because it resembles the back of a bathtub. It forms a steep, narrow peak that represents a concentrated cluster of failures near the end of the maximum lifespan. After reaching this maximum peak, the curve plunges rapidly back down to zero, indicating that nearly all subjects in the population have failed.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

a cool moment -- Kaitlin Collins tells Brad Lander that he won his primary live on air during an interview with him. Lander responds by saying, "I'm thrilled. I did not expect to be on air when the race was called."

I really love this legacy media environment in which I'm asked to pay $20/month to support traditional newspapers and then asked to spend another $29.99 for a supposedly essential book written by two reporters who could have already published that information in said traditional newspaper.
