OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s groovy.

IT’S COME TO THIS: Dre Greenlaw wonders if Antarctica is ‘a lie’ during 49ers’ Australia trip.

Many San Francisco 49ers plans are experiencing Australia for the first time this week.

Yet, 49ers star linebacker Dre Greenlaw seems to be more concerned with another continent. He made that known during a wild exchange Greenlaw had with reporters on Tuesday morning.

A reporter asked Greenlaw, “Do you have any questions you’d want to ask Australians?” per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. San Francisco is in Australia ahead of their NFL regular season opener against the Los Angeles Rams.

“I mean, how far are we from Antarctica? That’s what I got. We’re right on top of it, huh? Does It snow probably pretty bad here? So Antarctica, is it a lie?” Greenlaw responded.

After being told the continent is indeed there, Greenlaw said, “Y’all been there before?”

Hey, back in 2023, NPR warned us that “Antarctica is melting and we all need to adapt, a trio of climate analyses show.” I blame Trump for how quickly it completely disappeared.

UPDATE: Steelers’ DK Metcalf Believes Antarctica Has ‘Civilization Inside Earth.’

When did the NFL become a hotbed of Antarctica thrutherism?

CHARLES COOKE: Look Back in Anger at 9/11.

Nothing good came of September 11. Pearl Harbor, like Operation Barbarossa, brought about the conditions that guaranteed the Allies would win the war. Antietam led to the Emancipation Proclamation and, eventually, to the defeat of the Confederacy. September 11 had no salutary consequence. We would, without doubt, be better off if it had never happened. A quarter of a century later, I still find myself fantasizing idly about going back in time to stop it. When I visit New York, I look at the skyline and wonder if, somehow, the Twin Towers will magically be there. Even now, when I see the footage, I hope, impotently, that, perhaps this time, the planes will miss. They never do. They never will. Each time I watch it, three of the four will ineluctably hit their targets, and I will sit in stunned disbelief as if I were seeing it for the very first time. I cannot make it go away. It is indelible.

It could have been worse. We now know what we did not at the time. We know that such attacks did not become commonplace. We know that the day’s events did not represent the opening salvo in a world war. We know that they did not permanently scar America’s sense of self — and, indeed, that, far from dwelling on it, Americans now have to be urged to “never forget.” I am at no risk of that.

But many will, alas:

AGING: It Looks Like We’ve Made a Big Step in Combating Alzheimer’s. “In mid-July, the FDA approved Leqembi, a series of injections that specifically target the plaques that build up in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. Those plaques are what cause the memory loss, behavioral changes, and terminal decline.”
