Pie shakes! 😲
Appears to be some discourse about Pies.
Two thoughts
1) Pies are one of the greatest methods for food delivery, both working for both savoury and sweet
2) There is an amazing place in Iowa City that does PieShakes and frankly its probably the closest I'll get to nirvana

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Here's the full RDW statement in English: www.rdw.nl/en/news/2025...
RDW response following Tesla’s call to action
On 22 November 2025, Tesla published a message on X regarding Full Self Driving Supervised (FSD Supervised), in which the RDW was mentioned. We do not share details about ongoing applications from manufacturers, as this concerns commercially sensitive information. However, we can state that the RDW and Tesla have established a schedule, according to which Tesla is expected to demonstrate in February 2026 that FSD Supervised meets the required standards. Both RDW and Tesla are aware of the efforts needed to reach a decision on this matter in February. Whether this timeline will be met is yet to be determined in the coming period. For the RDW, (road) safety is paramount.

When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding,
Sweet lovers love the spring.

I’ve been thinking about this Hitchens thing constantly since yesterday.
Nothing better demonstrates white racists than a man who vehemently opposes immigrants to Britain, but thinks he and his ilk have the absolute right to emigrate to any country of their choosing.

Just a periodic reminder.
Wish people would stop saying Trump has done a U-turn on Ukraine. He does this every few weeks. Putin then makes a violent point of ignoring him. Trump's alleged change of heart is just a prelude to his next humiliation by Putin.
