Other false media statements identified in the Kash Patel complaint:
1. Special Agents do not, in fact, refer to him as “J. Edgar Shart”
2. Patel did, in fact, know that the FBI is part of the Executive Branch and that Wyoming is a state. He just always looks surprised when you tell him things.

True story: on my family's recent trip to Austria — including the Mozart House in Salzburg — just as we pulled into the airport for our departure, our van was playing "Rock Me Amadeus"
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED documentary about a ground-breaking artist: *Maintenance Artist*, opening Wed Apr 22nd at IFC Center in Manhattan. A truly moving portrait of an artist who honored labor and work. The only artist-in-residence of the NYC Sanitation department.

Wait until Kash Patel sobers up and found out he filed a $250M lawsuit against The Atlantic

Nothing beats that top notch Fanatics quality
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

I feel like "anti rich current reaches crescendo" is when the guillotine operators are getting OT not when you find a way to levy a new small tax on an undertaxed upper class

We have a family friend with a 9-year-old who’s getting into baseball and apparently he likes the Mets and I feel like encouraging that is signing him up for a whole lot of misery
Meek, the Mets
Weak, the Mets
On a nine-game losing streak, the Mets
And now it’s a nine-game losing streak…
I’m not sure what dimension you tapped into to conjure up that stream of words, but I’m literally LOL here at the mental image it created
Bear suit insurance fraud scheme
Whoa, damn that sounds good
you will (not) be shocked to know that this fate-worse-thn-death is continuing. what should be a 5 minute tech issue turns into 2 hours being passed around like a lefty reliever who's out of options.
Chatting with Verizon tech support is a fate much worse than death. Fucking hell.
I can't believe the guy who looks like he's on cocaine 24/7 — and who made a point of being spotted chugging beers with the USA men's Olympic hockey team — found a way to pass out and be unreachable

The Griffin and McGonigle extensions got me in a navel-gazey mood. Come investigate the economic belly button of free agency with me

-Weird bass lines
-Digital chants?
-Imperial alarm from Star Wars (WTF?)
I also read a piece last year that measured most of these over 100 decibels.

I also think turning off the stadium lights for any reason should stop. We need to pretend those LEDs take 30 minutes to power up like old stadium lights.
