So that Time100 list has Arch Manning on it (ok, whatever), but it was written by probably the biggest Texas Longhorn booster, Matthew McConaughey?

the fact that hegseth thinks stalking around a stage in front of a giant flag makes him resemble george c scott as patton is almost as funny as what patton would say if you told him how hegseth's iran war is going

My friend @ben-gt.bsky.social makes a good point: If aviation fuel stays high, we'll see the Dash 8 return in a big way. If Canada and Australia don't have them all.

Eric Scmitt: You were assisted by an FBI agent, correct? Jack Smith: I'm not familiar with this Schmitt: He let you into his Toyota Supra to escape the police. Said he owes you a 10-second car. Smith: I believe, I, uh. I don't recall that but it sounds like the plot to the Fast and the Furious

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

Garfield hates Mondays…but why? He doesn’t have a job; he doesn’t go to school. The answer is, I believe, a simple one though Garfield will never, ever admit it: he adores his owner Jon and is miserable when the weekend is over and Jon must return to work. *That’s* why he hates Mondays.

This is a photo of our home planet taken only a few hours ago! So what? We have photos of Earth taken from space every day. Ah, but *this* photo was taken by a spacecraft ON ITS WAY TO JUPITER.

From the source: "Mostly black space, most of Earth visible at the top right of the image. Part of a spacecraft visible on the left."

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.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

was earlier explaining to someone else on the feed why ST:TNG hit as hard as it did despite the first season being quite rough - you might think I was joking if I said “it’s closest competitor was ALF” but in all seriousness, this was *the* hit sci-fi TV show right before Encounter at Farpoint.
