"I saw him *put the gun together* and start shooting"

On this Kentucky Derby day, here’s your reminder that Secretariat was faster than any horse who has ever lived. The year is 1973 and this is his track record run. Untouched for 53 years. The GOAT.

Golden Tempo was literally dead last in the final turn and then outkicked everyone to win the Kentucky Derby. What an insane finish.

I regret to inform you that Ask Jeeves is dead. The site closed yesterday. Web 1.0 lost another founder. Ask Jeeves: 3 June 1996 - 1 May 2026. Send no memes.

Wow — Armed Services GOP Chairs @SenatorWicker and @RepMikeRogersAL: “We are very concerned by the decision to withdraw a U.S. brigade from Germany.”

The preponderance of the evidence gets ever more preponderant: here's a meta-analysis of longitudinal studies, in JAMA. Important finding for setting 16 as the age minimum:

Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event).

Paris has removed the paving from its city hall square and transformed it into an urban forest.

The two things Rs won in DHS shutdown fight: *ICE agents can continue to wear masks *There won't be a new statute requiring immigration agents to obtain warrants signed by a judges before entering your house. What they lost: *Time! Trifectas are rare; shutdowns chewed *months.*

There's a lot of good contenders, but I think TX-18 from 1992 might be the worst district ever drawn. With TX-30 as a close second.

Please read our incredible media writer @dbauder's final piece in his illustrious career at the @AP: A photographer has captured some 50 newsrooms to document places and lives endangered by the industry’s collapse apnews.com/article/newspa…

This is amazing and will save lives. It uses a neural net from 2021 and more quotidian AI methods like random forrest, decisions trees, and logistic regression have been around for years; in other words, not the large language models that dominate the news. Imagine if we invested as much capital into AI like this as we do in frontier LLMs.

@RepChipRoy How would this stop farm bankruptcies? You'd need to sell the farm to have a cap gains tax hit?

Rep. Roy is proud to be an original cosponsor of the No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act. This important legislation would help alleviate the tax burdens our farmers are facing. The House must make serious efforts to stop farm bankruptcies by voting on this bill immediately.

When Trump pulled out of the international nuclear agreement with Tehran in 2018, Iran lacked even a single bomb's worth of uranium. Since then, it accumulated 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium. @BlackiLi @WilliamJBroad nytimes.com/interactive/20…

It is very difficult for rats in a sewer pipe to know what’s going on in the outside world. Some color for the Iranian Leadership as they literally sit in the dark: 1. The United States has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz. 2. There is a hard currency, i.e. U.S. dollar, shortage. 3. Food and gasoline rationing are in place. 4. The entire international community has turned against you. 5. The BLOCKADE will continue, until there is pre-February 27 Freedom of Navigation.

At the worst possible time as farmers look to plant their crops, diesel prices have soared in ag states- it'll show up at your grocery store. Big weekly jumps: MI +75c/gal IN +60c/gal CO +53c/gal OH +52c/gal IL +42c/gal WI +38c/gal SD +31c/gal IA +30c/gal MT +30c/gal MO +29c/gal

A hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP today — 40 reporters and photo/videographers who've taken buyouts as our US news operation shrinks. They've broken untold stories, captured searing images, held power to account and made us all smarter. We'll miss them dearly.
