Things We Wouldn't Know If We Didn't Have Twitter -- August 5, 2024

Locator: 48329DEADBEARCUB.

That story about the dead bear cub being run over and killed by a bicycle in NYC's Central Park?


Turns out it -- the dead bear cub -- was planted by RFK, Jr, who is currently forecast to receive 6% of votes to be cast for US president. 

The New Yorks Times reporter that reported the story? RFK, Jr.'s second cousin, Tatiana Shlossberg. 

She says she "didn't know." LOL.

From Powerline over the weekend:

****************************
Meanwhile, Iran's Rapid Response

Not so rapid.

If there's going to be a regional way, apparently Iran wants it to be fair: Iran delaying attack to allow US Navy to get into position

Overnight headlines:

  • no attack yet
  • a lot of reservations
    • Iran says it reserves the right to attack
    • Israel says it reserves the right to attack first if attack seem imminent
    • Turkey says it reserves the right to invade Israel if it wants
  • Blinken is frustrated; Biden sleeping; Kamala laughing; Trump mum
  • Iran says it will attack its six Mideast neighbors if any of them interfere
  • including UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia
