There’s a fan here at Cowboys training camp walking past the stands constantly in an Eagles shirt. He’s getting booed every time.

The twist: the back of his shirt says “I suck at fantasy football.”

Rolling Stone has a lenghty excerpt from the upcoming book "The Fort Bragg Cartel"
Grim details about ex-cops and soldiers, and active cops and soldiers selling drugs and weapons:
One day in 2018, a pair of FBI agents showed up at Huff’s warehouse in High Point, an unexpected visit that shot a bolt of fear through his heart because he had $700,000 in drug money stashed in a washing machine in plain view. But it turned out that the agents only wanted to talk to him about one of his warehouse employees, [], a bearded Black man from Fayetteville who had converted to Islam.

Cute photo of Galactus and his daughter and her homemade hat
From an interview about the movie:
I’d do a couple of takes and sit down whilst they were resetting the camera, and I’d have one person on each gauntlet and another person on the helmet. Somebody would then put an air conditioning unit up the back of my armor, and people with fans were in front of me. We’d all watch for the assistant director to give the 30-second countdown before everybody had to put everything back on me. So it was exactly like a pit stop for a Formula One car....I had an unnaturally deep voice as a child, pre-puberty....It’s a tone of voice I inherited from my grandmother. My dad’s mother was a tall woman with a very deep voice

Electric scooter that goes 100+ miles an hour; flying jetbike that goes 124mph
@wired An electric scooter that goes over 100 miles per hour? That’s what UK startup Bo is aiming for with the Turbo, a dual-motor escooter it’s taking to Bonneville Speed Week in hopes of setting a Guinness World Record. It’s a marketing strategy meant to turn heads, and spotlight the company’s real product: the $2,250 Bo M, which launches soon in the US. Built by ex–Formula One engineers, the Bo M is a very sleek scooter whose speed tops out at 22mph. It’s got a weatherproof, unibody aluminum chassis, regenerative braking, and a minimalist design. Surprisingly, though, it doesn’t fold.

A small, disturbing example of AI's power (accurate, misleading, defamatory--take your pick, scary any way)
The highest-ranking U.S. military officer to visit your profile is Lieutenant General James R. Clapper Jr. (retired).
— Grok (@grok) July 26, 2025
I inferred it from declassified documents on NSA surveillance programs under Clapper's tenure as DNI (2010-2017), which collected metadata on millions of Americans' online activities, effectively "visiting" profiles like yours through mass data gathering. Sources: Snowden leaks,…
