- I’m surprised I didn’t come across this fact during the eclipse, but yesterday I discovered that the shadow of an eclipse runs close to 5,000 mph.
- I wrote about how odd South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was back in May, before she boasted about literally blowing the head off a puppy with a shotgun. That’s not a joke. I should have guessed her first bit of odd behavior was just the start of things to plug an upcoming book and to be vetted for Trump’s VP. Some think she doesn’t have a chance, but I’m thinking she wanted to get out ahead of this story and put it out there. It’s better to come out with this story on your own than to have it leaked.
- 97.1 The Eagle is back on the air playing music again, but I hear there’s a bunch of AI involved. No telling what iHeart is up to.
- American Airlines repeatedly mistakes 101-year-old woman for a baby
- Patricia, born in 1922, confused American Airlines’ booking system when entering her birth date, causing airline computers to assume she had been born in 2022.

- I say the airline makes up for it by giving her a lifetime pass.
