Wilford Brimley died. The article says that he'd been very ill and on dialysis, so the cause of death might have been, well, you know.

Synched video of multiple camera shots of the explosion

This puts the "two explosions" in context in a way I hadn't seen before. You can clearly see that only the person in the top left video happened to be filming during the first (comparatively smaller) explosion, which caused everyone else to grab their phones and catch the second, much bigger explosion.

Someone on Twitter dug into the paperwork on the NRA lawsuit to look at some of the highlights of the grifting LaPierre was doing with NRA.

Spoiler: it's a lot. My favorite might be that he had the NRA spend $13.5 million on his "personal travel consultant" over a ~5 year period leading up to this year, when the NRA already had their own dedicated travel agency.

Plane looks pretty trashed but on the plus side at least it doesn't look like it caught fire in any major way.

The best prediction model of 2016 (it was!) is back:

quote:

Biden is currently ahead in our polling averages in Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Ohio and in the second congressional district in Nebraska — all places that Clinton lost in 2016. If he won those states (and held the other states Clinton won), that would be enough to give him 352 electoral votes. He’s also within roughly 1 percentage point of Trump in Texas, Georgia, Iowa and Maine’s second congressional district. If he won those, too, he’d be up to a whopping 412 electoral votes.

It's kind of crazy that former perennial bellwether and swing state Iowa is now as Republican as Georgia and Texas.

It's that oleander horseshit, isn't it

Edit: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/doctors-rebuff-unproven-potentially-dangerous-oleander-chemical-falsely/story?id=72428650

quote:

Now, doctors are lamenting the latest headlines that oleandrin -- a potentially toxic chemical -- is being pushed by a business executive with ties to the White House. The chemical, extracted from the Oleander plant, has been quickly rebuffed by experts as dangerous and potentially fatal.

"This is not a friendly plant ... don't go near this plant," said Matthew Heinz, M.D., an Arizona-based internal medicine physician currently caring for hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Accidentally ingesting even small amounts of oleandrin can kill you, explained Heinz, who spent time in a poison control center and fielded calls about oleandrin poisoning as part of his medical education.
