I gotta go check the Delta subreddit this morning. People there are always bitching about the slowness of Delta WiFi (which, fair), because they don't use Starlink. And Ed Bastian recently noted it's because he doesn't want to work with Elon Musk. Gotta say, I'm with Ed on this.

Pro-tip to men out there: Leaning in to tell a woman attending a concert solo - where *everyone* in the crowd was singing & bouncing around - that she's "fun" after barely interacting with her all night? Never a compliment. It does, however, ensure she leaves the venue looking over her shoulder.🙄

Too long a story to type out, but I was internally shaking my head at being objectified at a concert this weekend. (I'm in my mid-50's!) So I'm just SHOCKED to discover men continue to objectify women doing their own thing in public. Thank you, Dan Levy, for being a decent human being.

This is an unadulterated abuse of power. It is a continued attack on Black women. It is fascism in the extreme. Trump is weaponizing the federal government to escalate his racist attacks against Rep. Omar, undermine her ahead of the midterms, and distract from his failures as president.

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

Definitely a Darwin Award. Not sure if there's an adjacent Leopard Eating Peoples Faces comment in there somewhere. And yes, a Siberian Tiger is just like your household kitty: it will not at all respond to a finger-wagging scolding and does what instincts tell it to do.
Partial Screenshot from The Sunday Times (of London). The article was posted Saturday October 10 2026, 6.25pm BST, and is bylined by David Collins

Large headline reads "Tiger Kills man who 'jumped into' pen at Yorkshire Wildlife Park"

Subheading reads: The man was pronounced dead at the zoo near Doncaster, which was evacuated with no harm to the tiger or anyone else

Underneath the subheading is a stock photo of a tiger in a zoo setting.

The opening four paragraphs of the article are present.  Text reads:

A man was killed by a tiger after allegedly jumping into its enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, police said.

A video on social media appears to show the man being attacked before wagging his finger at the tiger in an apparent attempt to stop the mauling. South Yorkshire police were called to the park at 1.35pm on Saturday.

The zoo was evacuated and the man was pronounced dead at the scene despite the efforts of paramedics. “The man’s family is aware and is being supported by specialist officers. Our thoughts are with them at this distressing time,” police said.

The tiger remained unharmed in the enclosure. “There is no wider risk to the public,” police said.

(Deleted and re-posted to improve the screenshot) *sigh* On a related noted, Target is still being Target
Partial screenshot from the Gothamist website. Blurb from the article "ICE agent shoots, injures immigrant man in NYC's Marble Hill, DHS says" initially published at 5:33 pm Eastern Daylight Time. Byline is Giulia Heyward and Arya Sundaram 

Text reads as follows:

Section heading - ‘Our communities are outraged’ 

Article text reads: The incident comes three days after eight elected officials representing the Bronx and Upper Manhattan sent a letter to Kingsbridge Associates, urging the company and Target to prohibit ICE agents from using the parking lot at 40 West 225th St. as a staging area. 

“Our communities are outraged,” Sanchez and seven other elected officials, including Councilmembers Carmen De La Rosa and Eric Dinowitz and U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat, wrote in the Oct. 5 letter. “This is private property operated by or for Target, where our neighbors shop, work, and bring their families.” 

The officials cited reports of ICE activity at the location. It was not immediately clear whether Thursday's shooting was connected to that activity. 

Sanchez, who represents the area, said the shooting occurred near the location where ICE agents have reportedly been staging. 

A spokesperson for Target said the shooting was not on or adjacent to company property.

“We have no agreement in place with ICE or any other immigration enforcement agencies,” spokesperson Lauren Frank said.
