This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

Great feature by @anamariecox.com on the Texas Senate race. It's a good story to say that James Talarico is using progressive Christian language to ju-jitsu the religious right. But the boring, accurate reality is that Texans are fed up with being governed by Republicans.

i know this is what "i never thought the leopards would eat my face" is exactly describing. but i'd argue what something like the Milo incident shows is that their version is even shallower than that. they're playing GTA and everyone but them is an NPC. life's barely real to them.
