As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor

Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes

Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day

The feds raided a Washpost reporter’s home today, seizing her phone, two laptops and a Garmin watch. The reporter isn’t the focus of the investigation, apparently.

And yes, this is highly unusual.

Welcome to SURREAL WEEK, where calories don't count, drinking is governed by airport rules, no one cares how you're dressed, and marathoning old movies is the norm. You have until January 5th when doing absolutely fucking nothing becomes embarrassing again. Do nothing with it wisely.

New: WaPo staff are fuming about the new AI personalized pods, noting they have errors like misattributing/inventing quotes, inserting commentary.

WaPo's standards editor privately called the mistakes "frustrating," another editor said "if we were serious we would pull this tool immediately."

RIP Raul Malo of The Mavericks. Incredible singer. I had recently listening to 1994's WHAT A CRYING SHAME, one of my favorite 90s country records. Just listen to this guy's voice. Big time talent.
