Ouch.

A bride has been shot dead at her own wedding when a stray bullet from celebratory gunfire hit her in the head. Mahvash Leghaei, 24, got married at Firuzabad in Iran by a guest, who is believed to be a cousin of the groom.

That there is a tough apology to render to your cousin.

This pic of Elon Musk on vacation is like a trainwreck. I am unable to look away.



Is that a spawn of "Alien" bout to burst through his gut?

I'm kinda hating this report with video of small black girls being ignored by a Sesame Place theme park character, because it seems likely someone out there will have opposite case videos with white children being ignored. Maybe I'm wrong, but that seems likely.

Fascinating.



Probably not what Clarence Thomas expected when he wrote his Dobbs concurrence.

Its somewhat relieving that there is some Republican support, that will bode well for the Senate.

Not so sure. They need TEN Republican Senators. I have no firm idea if they have enough, but probably not.

I’m kind of doubtful they have 10 GOP votes in the senate as well.

Collins
Murkowski
Portman

Who else? Maybe some retiring ones?

News: Republican @SenRobPortman will cosponsor the Respect For Marriage Act, the House-passed bill to codify legal same-sex marriage, his office tells me.

He made the decision last night after evaluating it.

In other news Biden approval rating his 37.1% today on RealClear's average the lowest point yet.

"The President’s approval rating has dropped 12 points since this time last year and is now 1 point lower than former President Donald Trump’s worst rating. Soaring consumer prices and recession fears have been the main drivers of Biden’s sinking standing among Americans." Fortune Magazine

Musk must take after his father.

His mother is a model and former beauty queen, with two masters degrees in diet and nutrition. She says he doesn't take her advice.

At 74 she is the oldest model to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
