Good 60 Minutes story on Venezuela. Makes clear post-Maduro country would be chaotic - unless the Venezuelan army is on board with regime change. Also makes clear Maduro would be in stronger position if US military buildup turns around and goes home.

On the one hand, the stuffed pork loin recipe turned out pretty good, but a tad bit dry.

On the other hand, you should double check whether the meat thermometer is set to Celsius before you use it.

The Post editorial steals some bases, but it’s not completely wrong.

🙂‍↔️ According to this story, data centers aren’t causing higher electrical bills, but renewable energy requirements are.

There’s a reason electricity prices are rising. And it’s not data centers.
It’s not data centers or AI, it’s something else.

Neo-classical elements aside, the renderings show a ballroom that will dwarf the size and scale of the existing White House.

🧐 “Consistent problem w/progressive American cities, which mixes admirable impulses toward aesthetic preservation w/2 related failures: failure to make room for necessity of substantial development/change & failure to apply same aesthetic sensibility to new developments as to older ones.”

One of the most scathing book reviews I’ve read in a while.

Review | In her new book, Biden’s former press secretary lets Democrats have it
Karine Jean-Pierre’s memoir offers a critique of Biden and the Democrats that is outdated, impractical and driven more by personal grievance than policy.

A House of Dynamite on Netflix is excellent & everyone should watch it! Especially right before it’s bedtime so you’ll be up all night thinking about it.

Column: Yes, the pictures of the destruction of the East Wing were shocking, but not so shocking as all the things we don’t know about this project, which is being paid for by some of the wealthiest people and corporations on the planet.
Column | Demolition is part of Trump’s master builder image
By Thursday, the White House’s East Wing was gone. The speed of destruction, and the projection of power, are part of the strongman playbook.
