TRUTHBOMB: No matter who you are supporting in this election, one thing is for sure: Nobody knows nothing, and if they say they do, they are either lying, shilling, or just plain crazy.

MAKE BETTER RICE: COSORI Rice Cooker 10 Cup. #CommissionEarned We have a rice cooker and it does make everything taste better.
DEPARTMENT OF JUST MAKING S*** UP, MATT YGLESIAS EDITION:
UPDATE (FROM GLENN): I know Matt just pulled this out of his ass, but if it’s true it would be terrible news for the Democrats. They’ve had a lock on the felon constituency forever, and if it’s abandoning them along with lots of black and Latino voters it’s a bad sign. . . .
“EMPTY AND THOUGHTLESS RHETORIC:” UNL has several ‘land acknowledgments’ apologizing for American history.
THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT: White House Report Card: Total failure by Mr. Potato Head as US becomes irrelevant. “This week’s White House Report Card may be the worst yet for President Joe Biden and his administration, a rare double ‘F’ from our conservative and Democratic graders.”
YEP.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU DESPISE THE MEDIA, IT’S NOT ENOUGH: ‘Father Figure’: Mainstream Media Eulogize Hezbollah Butcher Nasrallah, Who Slaughtered Innocents Across the Globe: ‘Nasrallah was seen as a father figure, a moral compass and a political guide,’ writes WaPo.
Well, to be fair, he wasn’t a Republican.

OPEN THREAD: This is it.
ALL FAMILY BUSINESS IS BEING SETTLED:
There are unconfirmed reports in Iranian media of a helicopter crash in southwestern Iran.
It is reported that Mohammad Abdul Salam, the head of Houthi coordination in Iran, and several others have been killed.

FIGHT THE POWER: SpaceX’s Elon Musk calls on FAA chief to resign. I doubt the FAA’s bureaucracy — it’s currently stopping a ready-to-go Starship from launching until November, when it’s been ready since August — has much to do with safety. Frankly, I don’t think the FAA understands what’s going on well enough to contribute much.
SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT BE HIGHLY SUITABLE FOR COLONIZATION: Asteroid Ceres is a former ocean world that slowly formed into a giant, murky icy orb. “‘Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt, and a dwarf planet. I think sometimes people think of small, lumpy things as asteroids (and most of them are!), but Ceres really looks more like a planet,’ Sori said. ‘It is a big sphere, diameter 950 kilometers or so, and has surface features like craters, volcanoes, and landslides.'”

MAYBE IT’S A MISTAKE TO ADVERTISE THEM ON TV: Two studies find SARS-CoV-2 virus becoming resistant to antiviral drugs used to treat patients. I see ads all the time telling people to get on Paxlovid even if their symptoms are mild and their risk is low.

It’s true that a few generations ago, “spit on that thang” would have been considered obscene, but in 2024 America it seems downright wholesome.
HURRICANE HELENE IS ALL BIDEN’S FAULT: Just kidding. But a few years ago, my colleagues on the Commission on Civil Rights thought Trump was to blame for Hurricane Maria (and, of course, the notion that Bush was responsible for Katrina is gospel on the Left) .
MIGHT. Fertility treatments might increase heart defect risk in babies. Even if it’s true, and I’m skeptical, they’re talking about an increase in a low risk number: “The overall risk was still small — 1.84% compared to 1.15%.”

Order delivered. (Charlie)
Wafiq Safa is far more dangerous than Hassan Nasrallah. Some say he was the functioning brain of #Hezbollah. He was also eliminated yesterday along with Hassan Nasrallah. Let’s celebrate this. pic.twitter.com/21F5fjlO5g

CHRISTIAN TOTO ON FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA’S MEGALOPOLIS: Auteur’s Messy Prayer for Brighter Tomorrow.
Francis Ford Coppola has spent decades thinking about a movie project now known as “Megalopolis.”
And it shows.
The sprawling drama packs so many consequential themes into its two-plus hours it could have yielded a half-dozen films. Maybe more.
As is, “Megalopolis” is a glorious mess, a clash of tonal styles and belief systems that delivers until it leaves us confused, if not frustrated by its reach.
Star Adam Driver deserves an honorary Oscar for holding all the fascinating pieces together.
As John Nolte writes, Coppola deserves major credit for casting previously cancelled actors: Coppola told Rolling Stone, “What I didn’t want to happen is that we’re deemed some woke Hollywood production that’s simply lecturing viewers. The cast features people who were canceled at one point or another. There were people who are archconservatives and others who are extremely politically progressive. But we were all working on one film together. That was interesting, I thought.”
Unfortunately, Coppola’s risk taking isn’t translating into ticket sales: Box Office: ‘Megalopolis’ Bombs With D+ CinemaScore, ‘Wild Robot’ Soaring to No. 1.
