ME ON A TRAIN: Oh no, I accidentally clicked a video with sound! Oh god, people heard a second of loud sound from my phone. I have torn the social contract.

EVERYBODY ELSE ON TRAIN: Shit yeah, train time, time to watch the loudest TikToks

If a broken clock were president, NYT would have a headline twice a day about how the president "actually has a good point about it being 2:27."

500ft in 30s is 1000fpm. Thatโ€™s otherwise a pretty normal descent rate on approach. This was dramatic because it was ascending and did that?

Unless itโ€™s the copyright statute. But itโ€™s in the public domain now so I guess we survived that.

Helping your 5yo with a complicated puzzle so he feels you are โ€œdoing the puzzle togetherโ€ but also not doing the parts HE wanted to do should be an Olympic sport.

It just seemed that they must all look forward to that nightly event where they latch on to the common charging block.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

Weโ€™ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Elon Musk Could Make Mars His Next Business Venture Even as Muskโ€™s work at the Department of Government Efficiency appeared to consume him, his top adviser created a set of companies named Red Planet I, II and III.

I sure hope he takes an on-the-ground leadership approach. Like, maybe go ahead and relocate.

Could This Secret, Decaying Railway Be New Yorkโ€™s Next High Line? It was once a busy branch of the Long Island Rail Road. Now, coyotes prowl one of New York Cityโ€™s last wild places. What will it become next?

โ€œโ€˜I like the way the branches move in the wind โ€” it creates interesting geometry with the railroad tracks,โ€ said Jason, 17, who lives nearby and occasionally walks the abandoned tracks. โ€œIt feels like nature taking over a war zone.;โ€โ€ฆ first of all, this 17yr-old gets my vote for president in 2044.

Sorry but it drives me absolutely insane when news organizations say "Department of Government Efficiency" without saying so-called. It is not a cabinet level department. Stop!
