Make turkey if you want for the holiday, but you don't have to. I don't love turkey. In past years, have made Momofuku's Bo Saam pork shoulder which is easy + banchan from H Mart. This year: Korean fried chix (purchased), cava, + ikura to replicate the offerings at Cocodaq, a restaurant in NYC.

Chicago may experience less tear gas use as Operation Midway Blitz winds down. Cold and wet weather reduce effectiveness, while wind adds unpredictability.

A coalition of Jewish groups has condemned the pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for creating the so-called Mamdani Monitor, calling it a "blatantly Islamophobic" and racist targeting of New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

I've heard today from someone who tried to get a covid shot in the same VaccinDirekt yesterday that they were out, having "brist." Another year that FHoM orders too little covid vaccine.
We got covid shots today at VaccinDirekt (Region Stockholm). A walk in with 30 min wait, but no problem.

Sweden is one of the least dense countries in Europe, with a healthy population and many people living by themselves. Note the carefully selected 2020-2024. Sweden had huge mortality at the start, compared to our neighbours. Note too "all cause excess death" metric cherry picking. Jay's at it again

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

Pay to play.
Apparently Timothy Mellon, the billionaire Trump donor who gave him $130 million to the pay the military during the shutdown, is obsessed with Amelia Earhart. I think the speculation is that he had something to do with it.

This woman is 32. Sheesh. Isn't she a wee too young to write a memoire or do people figure that all the brilliant people die at 35, and they, for sure, are freakin' brilliant giants of industry, media, or whatever.
I'm not sure which part of this is I'm finding more disorienting, the extremely pompous title or the fact that the official description says Nuzzi retreated to "self-imposed exile at the edge of the country" as if California is America's Irkutsk. www.amazon.com/American-Can...

And nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physicians assistants— this is very bad and needs to be stopped.
🚨Dept. of Education proposes to exclude public health degrees from the “professional degree” category.

That means new public health experts could lose access to key higher ed resources, like loan limits & reimbursement.

A bold strategy to let infectious diseases win! 🦠

😮 (to MS revoking email access of Khan)
The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

At the same time the New York Times was running nonstop stories on Hillary's email server, they were sitting on this emails (and photos of Trump with Epstein victims, apparently).

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.

This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

So Wolff could have tanked Trump’s 2016 campaign and didn’t because Epstein said nah?
NEW: A week before Donald Trump surged past Hillary Clinton to win the presidency, author Michael Wolff approached Jeffrey Epstein with a proposal to "finish" Trump's candidacy.

"Interested?" Wolff wrote.

Epstein, apparently, declined.
