Seriously everything, EVERYTHING about the RFK/Nuzzi/LIzza moment is an argument for a newsroom where you pitch stories in front of each other and editors who shield you from your own worst impulses.

Oooohhhh turns out I *didn't* know what that word means.
Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I don't know how I've missed it because it's *right on the documentation home page*, but if you use {glue} for nice string interpolation in #rstats and you have {stringr} loaded (likely through the tidyverse), you can use str_glue() instead of glue::glue() or loading library(glue) glue.tidyverse.org

Counterpoint; Russia knocking out the internet globally for a couple months would be an absolute win for humanity…
Ireland’s pivotal location on the edge of Europe means that an attack on its undersea cables could disrupt financial markets across continents, spark devastating internet outages and profoundly damage the Big Tech infrastructure upon which the island has grown rich.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

While the story itself is more than 4000 words (all gold, honestly), it can be told through this single visualisation. Here, with tools from Starboard Maritime Intelligence, we see traffic routes of oil tankers flagged to the Cook Islands in August 2024. NB: Oil tankers don’t deliver oil to Russia.
