Tiramisù doesn’t require baking, feeds a crowd and actually needs to be prepared in advance, making it a great contender for a Thanksgiving dessert. Cranberry, pumpkin and apple give this creamy no-bake classic a fall makeover with festive flavors.

This is, indeed, cool -- I made a donation to Courier as a thanks, and I suggest y'all do the same: secure.actblue.com/donate/couri...
This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.
Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

Good thing the CDC is at the top of its game and has not been decimated by an administration of nincompoops.
UPDATE: Person infected with bird flu in Washington state has H5N5. It's the first time H5N5 has been found in a human
The person is an older adult with underlying health conditions and remains hospitalized.
The patient keeps a mixed backyard flock that had contact with wild birds.

Related to this, I have a pending FOIA request with UVA for the retainer agreement and billing records/invoices from McGuireWoods regarding UVA’s interactions with DOJ. It was filed on *July 2* and I still haven’t received a substantive reply. (The deadline is a maximum of 12 working days.)
Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.
It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

I’m guessing they liked the things he provided them, including a lot of coerced sex with underage girls. Which is apparently more popular than I’d feared.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????
