“In addition, giraffes are now tall horses. Because that’s what they are. They’re just tall horses. Everybody knows it, they just don’t say it. I’m not afraid to say these things. And those so-called capybaras will be known as ultimate guinea pigs.”

I'm shocked to see Tuberville attacking furries given his past embrace of the community.
A jubilant Tommy Tuberville hugs Aubie, Auburn University's anthropomorphic tiger mascot, during a post-game celebration after a night game in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Aubie is wearing his typical 01 Auburn football jersey and holds a large orange AU flag.

Trump stumbles into an international incident of his own making in Ireland
The underlying issue is best approached with a nuanced understanding of history, culture, diplomacy and regional politics. Trump skipped all that.

As far as "books for kids" go I do sometimes wonder if the existence of a YA shelf robs young folks of the joys of early unsupervised exposure to the ranting of depraved communists and libertarian sex-weirdos in the SFF section, an important inoculation when it doesn't destroy 3-10 years of yr life

SAM ALTMAN

"You ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation, and without credit, to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed.
You are not liberating human creativity - you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft training data."

Trump said the repairs would cost $1.8 million. It ended up costing $14 million. The company doing the repairs got a no-bid contract that baked in a 20% profit margin. The typical federal construction contract profit margin is 6% to 12%. Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

All of these estimates presume the least favorable ancillary expenses for Sen. Van Hollen. In all likelihood, the service/grat was closer to 25%, the bill wasn’t tax exempt, and the minimum menu price was even higher. tl;dr this wasn’t the gotcha Kash was hoping for.
