Neckless F@ck Steven Cheung said authority who tried to do something was in a mental health crisis. And they’ve got tape!

Oh crap. I missed that one. At least he wasn’t killing it, stuffing it or wearing it as a headdress. Small miracles.
ETA: sadly, the early emu never did get the brain worm.

First, Tim Walz is a treasure. He’s an inspired pick by Kamala.
Second, I don’t watch CNN and I’m not very familiar with Dana Bash, so for those of you familiar with her - do you think she’ll be fair with Kamala/Tim on Thursday?

Trump is running a new NFT promotion. If you buy 20 of his trading cards he’s throwing in a headstone from Arlington National Cemetary.

In regards to NWKWJSWUTITJ6C, can commenters use a little more discretion when using abbreviations in comments? You lose the point of the comment when a custom or no-common abbreviation is used and not understood by a reader. Which is the fundamental utility of a written language.
By-the-way, the above is my abbreviation of the title of this morning’s MM for illustration.

I can’t bring myself to click on that video to watch it. It would have been helpful to at least give us a vague idea of what it entails.
If anyone else was willing to watch it, would you be willing to give a quick explanation?

In an update to the bizarre RFK Jr whale decapitation story, the NYT says what could get him in legal trouble is if there remained soft tissue on the carcass at the time he removed the head. Based on the story of whale fluids pouring into the Kennedy car and onto his kid during that 5 hour odyssey, the answer to that question sounds like a most definite YES.
If asked for comment, Tim Walz might have said something like this about RFK Jr going kooky at the mention of a whale:
From Tim Walz when he heard the details:
“My name’s pronounced ‘Walls’, and not ‘Whales’
So don’t come after me
With chainsaw and bungee
What you’ll lose sounds like ‘Balls’, and not ‘Bails’”

Joyce Vance put the new indictment most clearly, Smith is going after candidate Trump, not president Trump.
