Normally, I work Thanksgiving week because "save the vacation, they're easy days anyway", and then I'm bored and wondering why I didn't just call off. This year I broke the cycle and called of -- it's fun but a little disorienting, and I have to make a conscious effort to not check email.

Tough beat for McLaren, but it still cracks me up that in a sport of multi-million dollar rocket sleds, they determine if the car is too low to the ground by putting a piece of wood on the bottom, measuring it before and after the race, and see how much scraped off.

The “peace deal” is garbage. It basically amounts to “Russia gets everything they want, the US gets paid to look the other way, and all Ukraine gets is a fuzzy agreement that can be easily broken.”
And ohbytheway, it also repeatedly positions NATO as some “other” that the US sits on the outside of.

Dear @fetterman.senate.gov . Take good notes. Mamdani went into the Oval Office, stood firm, and didn’t have to sell out any of his principles so that his book might sell a few more copies.

Next Bus Book: bought it a few months ago, but set it aside and kinda forgot about it. Time to take another run at it.

Point Breeze. Penn Ave at the Wilkinsburg border. A detective started a traffic stop and the suspect immediately took off and flipped their car over. There is now a five vehicle accident with multiple injuries as a result. City wide response from PD and six medics dispatched.

President Trump has called for Democrats to be executed for sedition. The voters expect Democrats to come to the table with a real counter-proposal and negotiate a mutually acceptable compromise. That’s doing politics the right way.

I don't want to be too whiny about people doing their job, especially when they're trying to help, but it did seem a LITTLE odd to get a call from my doctor telling me that the appointment that's two months away moved by 10 minutes because they moved from 20 to 30 minute blocks.

Cool how CEOs feel comfortable just coming out and saying “hey we bribed the President”, and for half the country, electing a black man twice will still be the greater offense against democracy.
