Here you can learn more about Tapper. Source: Breaker Media via Chris D Jackson
The actual Original Sin began in May of 2015, with Beau Biden at Walter Reed National Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland and the family rallying around during the final days of his life. Tapper called Hunter repeatedly on his cellphone, according to three people familiar with the situation. Those calls went unanswered. But then Hunter received a call from a blocked number. So he did pick up. It was Tapper, who allegedly asked Hunter to call him when Beau died. "Go Fuck yourself Jake," is what those who were present at the time recall Hunter telling Tapper. When Puck's Dylan Byers reported on this situation last week he included a statement from Tapper who called the accounts "a patently false lie. "At no point in my life have I ever called Hunter Biden-I've never even had his phone number-and I would never have contacted a person's immediate family during such a challenging and personal time." (A statement Tapper repeated to us). When we reached Hunter he told us: "It would be impossible to forget or misremember something that upsetting and out of line during one of the toughest moments of my life. It happened. I was furious. And I told him so the next time I saw him, which was at the Super Bowl." At that game Tapper approached Hunter to shake his hand. But Hunter responded that he was still so enraged about what had happened at Walter Reed that he would knock him out if they were not in a public setting. We are told Tapper would later demand an apology from Biden for his son's behavior. spokesperson for Tapper doubled down. "The idea that Jake could do something so heartless-and yet the Bidens would subsequently offer him multiple sit down interviews as well as agree to him moderating the debate, all without anyone hearing about it until now — completely defies logic." It's rare for the two protagonists of a story to disagree so profoundly, so we dug into the details. We found, for example, that Tapper did in fact cover those drug allegations. According to two other people who spoke with Hunter directly after the Walter Reed incident Tapper did call. "It was obviously transparent niceties and then right to business as if the one thing Hunter is thinking about as Beau is dying is let me give Jake Tapper an exclusive," a person who was with the Biden family at the time told Breaker. "He was furious about it." It also defies logic that the campaign, rather than CNN, would get to choose who moderated a debate. And we can only find one instance where Tapper interviewed Biden when he was President. Those in the Biden world note Tapper had long been frustrated with the Bidens over a lack of access. Just before Biden's 2024 State of the Union address (as is customary) a number of network anchors were invited to the White House for an off-the-record briefing from the President. As the speech was to be centered around the economy, CNN's Erin Burnett was picked over Tapper. According to two people familiar with the matter, Tapper had a "meltdown" and called numerous people in the White House to vent his anger at the decision. "He was raging I'm Jake Tapper and this is my network," according to a person on the receiving end of one of Tapper's calls.

I gave my daughter a box of dots for one of her last day snacks before braces. She ate the whole box quickly, and now she's telling us ideas for a series of Ryan Reynolds movies where he dies really early in the movie.

Slow day at the office; I'm trying to figure out the McDonalds mascots alignment chart. Yep, Grimace is chaotic neutral. He runs the ice cream machine, that's literally the definition of chaotic neutral.

So now that it's out there, I've officially chosen to follow the @ottawaredblacks.com as my choice for CFL team to follow.

Also; it's pretty fun to have a team name be much cooler in French than English, unlike some teams, where it's not great in both language...right, Montreal?!

I feel like the kind of person who parks their cart across the aisle at the grocery store and then pretends that nobody else exists has a chapter in an FBI profilers' manual.

Everyone's hung up on The Claims Adjuster being a rich, Ivy League-educated tech bro, but forget that Batman is just a billionaire's kid with a fear of bats.

You ever watch world events and think "damn, I really hope this doesn't give anyone any bright ideas."

My daughter just explained to me that Grimace is the one who makes the milkshakes, and thus is why the ice cream machine is always broken.

Now it all just makes sense.

I'm trying to figure out how BlueSky figured out how to return me to where I was browsing if I click on a skeet, but every other social media I've ever used either dumps me back at the top of my feed, or randomly somewhere else (hey look, an ad!).

Is anyone else seeing a huge influx of AI picture accounts? I'm blocking them as they pop up in my feed, but man is it annoying.

Am I the only person who pronounces it "blu-ski", and thinks about the friend who seemed to be everywhere on campus all at once, but would always stop what he was doing to come over and say hi?

And after two posts, I have to go make breakfast for my kids. How the hell do you post about things that makes you happy 80 times a day, let alone post about something you hate enough for mold to grow on your walls?

Now excuse me, I'm going to go make breakfast and shitpost about college football

Next is the de Havilland Sea Vixen.

Planned as an all-weather fighter-interceptor to replace the Sea Venom, in Fleet Air Arm tradition, it ended up doing all of the roles. It also had about a 38% loss rate, as seemed to be the norm during those days for Royal Navy fighters

Here we go.

First up is the F7U Cutlass. US Navy fighter. Could carry missiles.

The engines were underpowered, and it did not land on carriers very well.

A Cutlass that had an emergency landing was donated by the Navy to that airport. That's how bad it was.

I'm going to try something this weekend.

I've seen people like Graham Linehan and Joanne Murray spend an exceptionally inordinate amount of time posting about other peoples' sexual organs.

I have no interest in other peoples' sexual organs.(1 of ???)

I interacted with a singularity that suddenly appeared in my bedroom. Doing so caused my body to split into two beings, each a different side of my personality. A great light suddenly flooded the room, with a golden voice.

Here's how that experience taught me about B2B medical device sales...

It's always fun when you meet someone who likes Monty Python, and you say that you're a Mr. F.G. Superman supporter, and they mention they're big fans of the Knights Who Say Ni.

And you realize that you've reached advanced dorkness.

Does anyone know the ratio of BlueSky likes to reddit points? I ask because I have no idea what these are for.

I know reddit allows for points to be redeemed. I sent away for a boombox by spending a bunch of points, but never got the boombox. I wasn't scammed, right?
