Screenshot of, I think Threads, of a pic of Sen. Britt with that “oh shit” face realizing they fucked up the Jack Smith basketball thing. A user jonsavoy posts “When you realize the Chevy Bel Air wasn't offered with a 327 engine and a four barrel carburetor until 1964”, and Marisa Tomei from her official account replies “it’s a fact.”

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.
