GOOD START:

ON TONIGHT’S TOP GEAR, THE STIG POWER TESTS JAGUAR’S NEW RECREATION OF THEIR LEGENDARY D-TYPE THAT WON LE MANS IN 1957!

Much like Anheuser-Busch producing a Super Bowl commercial with Clydesdales, eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Freebird,” and good ole boys rather than Dylan Mulveney, presumably Tata Motors, the Indian company that owns Jaguar is reissuing some of their classics and inviting drivers like Ben Collins to film road tests for YouTube in the hopes that they can put this 2024 monstrosity behind them:

BECAUSE THEY HATED LIMBAUGH, AND MERELY FOUND KHAMEINI DISTASTEFUL:

WHY, INDEED?:

NOAH POLLAK: “One of Trump’s greatest legacies will be how he blew up a half-century of western diffidence, restraint, and failure on terrorism.”

Blowing up a half-century of western diffidence, restraint, and failure is pretty much Trump’s wheelhouse, as Glenn wrote in 2022: Donald Trump and America’s New Class War.

ITS ORIGIN AND PURPOSE, STILL A TOTAL MYSTERY: 3 dead, 14 injured in Austin shooting; suspect identity confirmed as Senegal national.

Three people are dead and 14 others are injured following a mass shooting at Buford’s on West 6th Street early Sunday, officials said. The suspect was fatally shot by police officers at the scene.

CBS News has confirmed the identity of the suspect as Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized American citizen born in Senegal.

The FBI is now involved with the investigation into the shooting, authorities confirmed at a press conference around 9:30 a.m. Sunday morning.

It takes Austin’s CBS affiliate 16 paragraphs to get to these details:

Shot:

In 1964, the first heroic period of the Space Age was just opening; the United States had set the Moon as its target, and once that decision had been made, the ultimate conquest of the other planets, appeared inevitable. By 2001, it seemed quite reasonable that there would be giant space-stations in orbit round the Earth and—a little later—manned expeditions to the planets. In an ideal world, that would have been possible: the Vietnam War would have paid for everything that Stanley Kubrick showed on the Cinerama screen.

SO WE WON’T BE HEARING MUCH ABOUT THIS SHOOTING:
