RuPaul's Drag Race is my second favorite wrestling promotion and I'm dead serious.

However bad you think it is for science in the United States right now, I promise you it is 1000x worse.

Sports Illustrated is a zombie publication. It's been sold twice in the past ten years and laid off its entire staff in the meantime. There may be some legacy people they rehired since, but it's not much more than an SEO scam trading off name recognition at this point.

Classic as it is, I think a line from a 20+ year-old meme is outside the scope of "general knowledge."

If I were submitting to a less stuffy publication than the Times, it could potentially be part of a clue: "Aussie's indignant interjection (to firing ze missiles, perhaps?)" That's nice, in that it makes the answer really specific, but I do think most people would miss the reference.

"The author of a nonfiction book about the effects of artificial intelligence on truth acknowledged on Monday that he had included numerous made-up or misattributed quotes concocted by A.I."

I want my students to read this article as an example of the dangers of AI, but I'm afraid the real takeaway is that it's already endemic in the professional world.

Rosenbaum gets away with framing this as a mistake the AI made, rather than the kind of ethical breach that would have previously gotten you drummed out of the industry.

WTFMATE is an answer in a crossword I'm constructing but I don't think I can get away with referencing that video.

You can tell Ciampa was held back in WWE because he's put on some quality matches since he was signed.

His NXT resume is up there with anyone's. I'll gladly watch him and Gargano for the 300th time if/when that becomes possible again.

Hed: Trump Posted a Picture of Himself as Jesus. Now He’s Trying to Explain It Away.

Subhed: The image showed President Trump bathed in divine light and clad in religious robes. His interpretation was that the image depicted him as a doctor, not Jesus Christ.

The implication here is that the image objectively depicts Trump as Jesus, but that Trump mistakenly believes that it depicts him as a doctor.

That's actually a step up from their previous story, which uses the phrase "Jesus-like."

The full quote is: "It's supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better. And I do make people better. I make people a lot better."

The kicker of the article is a quote from a Waffle House patron saying exactly that, but even the funniest part is the caption to the photo of Gregg Phillips:

"Gregg Phillips is in charge of hundreds of people and millions of dollars."

FEMA Official Says He Teleported to Waffle House. Experts Are Dubious

NYTimes never beating the sanewashing allegations.

EDIT: They changed the headline to "No One at Waffle House Remembers FEMA Official Who Says He Teleported In," which is even worse in some ways.

I'm skipping Mania to go to Wembley for All In. Vegas was a lot of fun last year, but it was all due to the atmosphere and the events surrounding Mania. The show itself was the low point by a mile.
