The oven is kapot, so it's a "melted cheese (raclette) for Thanksgiving" year.
This pivot, thankfully, easily preserves the main holiday tradition - watching the Lions after eating way too much.

"These changes were super radical and destructive, but not bad enough to make me go to a summertime meeting" is poetry
When liberals secured a majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2023, they changed internal procedures—over the objection of the conservative chief justice, who claimed they were taking away her power. Today the justices released MESSY details about the affair...

Are they the biggest environmental threat? No.
Are they an environmental threat serving no real purpose? Yes.
And sure, widespread backyard tire burning might motivate recycling upgrades, but there are better ways to get there.

a) The social harms of AI are vastly under-appreciated and go far beyond displacement of labor
b) The environmental harms of AI, though not trivial, are nevertheless small potatoes compared to many other industries like farming (and AI demand may even help accelerate electrical grid upgrades)

...plans?
The crazy thing about Trump II is that we really have no idea who is drafting the war plans or the peace plans, or even how much Trump is in the loop on either.

Pete is out here creating new avenues of accountability for any future Democratic administration.
1. I do not think this is going to go well for them, because it is going to be just as clown shoes as everything they've tried to throw at Comey or James
2. "we can go after ex-military congressmembers for things they say in public" is really not a pandora's box the GOP wants opened

Major US news outlets are increasingly unable to cover anything outside either a sports or gambling framework.
What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

The EU "peace plan" including a "US guarantee that mirrors Article 5" is so deeply representative of the EU's inability to honestly evaluate the current moment.
If you give Ukraine a US security guarantee and five euros, Ukraine walks away with five euros. The US is not a credible partner.

It's worth remembering, though, that Rubio speaks with all the authority of a ficus.
So, to recap, Ukraine and Europe understand that America has effectively endorsed a 28-point plan to force Kyiv to capitulate, set a Thursday deadline to accept it, and threatened to cut off all aid.
Now Marco Rubio says it's all wrong, that's not the plan, there's no deadline and no threat.

Okay, who put happy juice in the water?
Reporter to Trump: Elise Stefanik calls Mamdani a "jihadist." Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist?
Trump: No, I don't. But she's out there campaigning, and you say things sometimes in a campaign. She's a very capable person.

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

The thread does a nice breakdown, but the "peace plan" is fundamentally a 'great power deal' where Ukraine isn't a country but a set of bargaining chips.
Some notable things in what's being called the "Trump peace plan" but which could not have been more clearly written in Moscow if it came with a 2 for 1 deal on tickets to the Bolshoi Ballet. 🧵

Continually surprised by European leadership's ability to be surprised.
Trump has repeatedly - and loudly - signaled his position here. Hell, the guy invited Putin to the US.
Hoping for a sudden change of heart, and crossing your fingers that the US is a credible partner, isn't a viable strategy.

Europe totally caught off-guard by US-Russia peace plan: contents, seriousness and speed White House is pushing for agreement
- crisis talks at G20 among European leaders being planned
- still no clarity about Trump's position on it
- “It basically means capitulation [to Moscow].”
