The Associated Press doesn’t specify, but I looked in the Albuquerque Journal and I can report that the unmanned, flying sex toy was a dildo, specifically. apnews.com/article/lifest…
I think the best part of the story is the challenger who got dildo-droned accusing the incumbent mayor of Albuquerque of sending the dildo-drone, and the mayor replying that he’s not enough of a threat to warrant throwing a dildo at.

The media handled this poorly but I think the even worse performance is in scientific and health policy institutions, which showed an even more stifling ideological monoculture than the press did.
You could see this in, for example, the ACIP proposal not to recommend an age-based approach to vaccine phasing, even though it would save more lives, because of “equity” concerns. Whatever woke nonsense is ongoing in press is much farther along in the health bureaucracy.
And then you had the bullshit about how, because ACIP hadn’t finalized the recommendation, it was improper to discuss it or something. Total “shut up, they explained” nonsense.

The thing I don’t get about bottle service — besides the astronomical price — is, if I’m at a fancy establishment, having very expensive drinks, shouldn’t I at least be getting them in the form of properly made martinis or manhattans or whatever?
Like you pay a goddamn fortune and you’re having vodka with cranberry juice?
That — in my very limited experience — you may well have to pour yourself?

why aren't other states copying Ohio's Vax-a-Million lottery?
As an aside, one reason Democrats are in such miserable shape in Ohio is that Ohio Republicans, unlike Republicans in certain other states, actually try hard to be popular with a clear majority of the electorate.
Okay it seems that Oregon, Maryland, Arkansas and New York are doing variations on the Ohio thing.

It damages the NYT’s reputation to have a key reporter on the most important story of the year say a valid news angle shouldn’t be discussed because it has “racist roots.” Aren’t they supposed to be in the news business?
But basically reporters at the NYT are allowed do whatever they want on social media, however damaging to the paper’s reputation, so long as they have the right politics.
The core issue here is that management at the NYT is cowardly. They are afraid of their young, noisy, leftist reporters. So they don't manage, and insubordination is rampant. And it's very damaging to the product.

What the fuck, apparently Ryanair is cool with a passenger being kidnapped so long as they eventually get the plane back?
I know Ryanair’s signature is bad customer service but WTF
EU countries should revoke Ryanair’s operating license

This study is total methodological garbage, but people will cite it because it favors a desired political narrative.
30% of the “incidents” with race data in this sample (“incidents” defined to include accusing the CCP of covering up a lab leak) are Donald Trump personally.
The political narratives being pushed here are that white supremacy is at the root of every social ill, and that fighting hate incidents does not conflict with de-policing proposals.
