Just came across this on X and I thought I would pass it along.
Note: Can't speak to the truthfulness of the the numbers
It's links to Elon's X account because he was responding to it not posting it

Remember that article that said San Fran's problems were because SF has been controlled by Rs for too long that read like it was written by the Babylon Bee but they were being serious?

Well along those lines enter the LA Times with a why haven't the Rs fixed CA problems article?

"But I love everyone!"

I love how a legal immigrant puts her and her nonsense in her place. In fact if it weren't obviously an immigrant, I'm betting she wouldn't have been as smarmily apologetic (while still being an ass).

How about Linda Hunt playing a man in The Year of Living Dangerously and winning an Oscar for the role?
She IMHO did a darn fine job but lets not lose sight of the fact she was just acting.

Seriously underrated movie that seems forgotten nowadays

I agree about Hunt's talents but I have never watched that movie.
I enjoyed her all too short appearance in the 1984 version of "DUNE" as the Shadout Mapes.  She was even more enjoyable as the principal in "Kindergarten Cop".
I'm just disappointed that she has turned into another "lap-licker".

The state of Indiana was ordered to cover the cost of gender-transition surgery for a transgender inmate who murdered his baby stepdaughter.

A federal judge ruled that Autumn Cordellioné, who was born Jonathan C. Richardson, had been subjected to 'cruel and unusual punishment' after being denied gender-affirming surgery according to the ACLU, which filed the suit.

The sad part is it would probably be cheaper all around for someone to arrange the death of that inmate and deal with any wrongful death lawsuits.

Listening to this one finally.  This person seems incredibly selfish.  They want doctors to implant all the organs into a man's body needed to house a fetus and carry it to birth,  and then remove all the implanted organs.   No thought about the health of the baby or the effects on the baby of all the anti-rejection drugs among other things.  Not to mention a man's body will not respond to pregnancy in the same way at all.

Do you get the impression these are people who would be happier with a king/tyrant telling them what to do all the time?

And they also refuse to accept responsibility for anything they do.

US Navy Oiler Runs Aground, Forcing Carrier Strike Group to Scramble for Fuel

Quote
gCaptain has received multiple reports that the US Navy oiler USNS Big Horn ran aground yesterday and partially flooded off the coast of Oman, leaving the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group without its primary fuel source.

First reported on the gCaptain forum and by maritime historian Sal Mercogliano, a leaked video and photos show damage to the ship’s rudder post and water flooding into a mechanical space. US Navy vessels don’t typically transmit AIS signals, so we don’t know the exact location of the ship but a Navy source confirms she is anchored near Oman awaiting a full damage assessment.

Fortunately, no injuries or environmental damage have been reported for the ship. This is significant because the 33-year-old vessel is one of the single-hull versions of the Kaiser-class oilers.
