Oddly reassuring to know that the Supreme Court also puts everything off until the day before deadline

I had one of those headbanging holiday flight experiences recently. Bad weather, serial delays, changing explanations, dropped calls/long holds on customer service. I got home 3 hours late. Here's what I found notable: not once did I notice someone yell, loudly complain, chew out the gate agents or customer service reps, cut a line, invoke premium status or urgency. Passengers with special needs companions, small children, etc, all quietly coped. People are, fundamentally, decent and civilized. Let's give 'em credit.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover that the odds being produced by a bunch of gamblers accessing a gray betting market through a VPN might be prone to manipulation.

this is too on the nose. Among RFK Jr's pets are ravens, a group of which are called a "conspiracy" nytimes.com/2024/06/19/us/po…

The presidential candidate keeps two of the free-minded birds as wild pets. They’re much better behaved than his old emu, Toby, who would attack his wife, Cheryl Hines.

HAPPENING NOW: Sentencing of Peter NAVARRO is underway for his defiance of a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee. Judge MEHTA immediately challenges Navarro attorneys' claim that he has "accepted responsibility" for his crime.
