Dept of FAFO: College kid tells Jason Kelce his brother Travis is a "f****t" for dating Taylor Swift. Kelce calmly grabs the kid's phone + hurls it onto the ground, smashing it ... and then picks it up, depriving the kid of his YouTube video. (Brits: The word is NOT 'f*ckwit')

A new peer-reviewed study led by Sydney-based researchers Stephen Woodcock + Jay Falletta finds the time it would take for a typing monkey to replicate Shakespeare's plays, sonnets + poems would be longer than the lifespan of our universe. Well then. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Whereas Subaru says 97% of its cars sold in the last 10 years are still on the road. So, Ferrari wins ... for those 3 people in the world who cross-shop for the long term? LOL. motorauthority.com/news/1144909_f…

Kamala Harris on SNL cold open: great. Trump spox: "Kamala Harris has nothing to offer the American people, so she's living out her warped fantasy cosplaying w/elitist friends on Saturday Night Leftists as her campaign spirals down the drain." LOLOLOLOL. youtube.com/watch?v=e6Funs…

Tax filings show Florida’s legislative chaplain has been paid for years by the Fellowship Foundation, aka The Family, a secretive Christian group that sent a member of Congress to bolster Uganda against blowback from its new #LGBTQ+ death penalty. Oh. jonathanlarsen.substack.com/p/florida-hous…

Friend sent me this image, raving over the Citroen DS. As far as I know, this vehicle does not exist. Probably AI. But correct me if I'm wrong?

R.I.P. Quincy Jones. The man had so many musical accomplishments that it's hard to pick just one. But this routine always makes me grin—for multiple reasons, including his "Soul Bossa Nova." youtube.com/watch?v=zd11cR…

Trump Media (which trades as DJT) started today up more than 17 percent. But by early afternoon, trading had to be halted after a massive sell-off. It ended the day losing more than 18 percent from its peak, one of the stock's worst-ever selloffs. Huh. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
