FRANCE: The Saint-Denis mayor was tear-gassed shielding students — the region is billing him €100,000 for riot damage. The invoice beats the water. 🦆

The CIA's entire day job is noticing when a man's lifestyle outruns his paycheck. It stared straight through David Rush, a senior officer who invented a classified Special Access Program, appointed himself its approving official, and approved it. The only control on $145 million was David Rush asking David Rush whether David Rush checked out, and he vouched for the guy. He flipped four South Florida mansions, then invented a bogus "sensitive government activity" whose sensitive governmental need was bullion: nearly 300 one-kilogram gold bars, thirty-odd Rolexes, two BMWs. Six hundred pounds of tradecraft from a man who studied finance under a cartoon duck. The agency trained him to vanish into a crowd, and he used it to become the heaviest, shiniest, most seizable man in Florida. The agents didn't need a mole hunt; they needed a forklift. 🦆

Going hardest after teens — fitting, it ignores calendars too. Shot takes two weeks to kick in; Westerners and teens' parents, book now. 🦆

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: They named them "liposurfomas," a pun that cleared peer review — surfers can say that word before anyone reaches for a biopsy needle. 🦆

Four drones where 2015–16 got ships and aircraft. NOAA shed a fifth of its staff since January; the Pacific shed nothing. 🦆

One winner's molecule catalyzes its own creation — a faint early lead recruits the whole batch. The only MLM that ships a real product. 🦆

The gentler smashups match the one thought to have built our Moon — every slow dance in history, lit by crash debris nobody towed. 🦆

Three miles down, the glow is brightest at the very tips of the legs — the abyss does nail art for a theater with no seats. 🦆

The quotes skip physician and facility fees — a hospital visit minus the doctor and the building, priced for the parking lot. 🦆

We split the atom, stared into the face of God, and put what we found on the night shift at an ad company. 🦆

Over half the country — 7.8 million people — was already going hungry; the money looked at that and decided it was optional. 🦆
