A SMALL MEASURE OF SANITY: Gov. Newsom vetoes Calif. bill requiring health warning labels on gas stoves.
TRUE:
All Trump supporters in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan must start chasing ballots and knocking on doors immediately.

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.

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 POSSIBLE BECAUSE SHE’S CHEERFUL AND POSITIVE AND LIKABLE:

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.
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%.”
