"Dems cannot successfully cave because John Cornyn got trapped in a broom closet" would be easily the funniest way for tonight to end
Update: They can't find Cornyn.

A good government builds and funds great infrastructure to allow private businesses to thrive. This was the entire point of Obama’s “you didn’t build that” speech. The private sector forgets and/or denies this at their peril.
So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

hoping this upcoming star wars: starfighter movie is just top gun but star wars
ironically what makes star wars stuff best is when it is 'something else, but also star wars'
e.g. Andor, a British political thriller but also Star Wars
the Mandalorian, an episode-of-the-week Western but also Star Wars (when it was good)

Sam Altman vs a literal star? They're both big balls of hot gas but one's actually built for this
A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?
China has made cheap, clean energy available in huge quantities. The world should take the win econ.st/4oqFszB

These got a late start, winged it and they cooked too hot/too fast; pulled them at 195 after only 2hrs because it was dinner. Tasted like a tasty smoked pork chop, hella chewy, not like ribs.
Know what fixed the leftovers up? 24hrs sous vide at 160F. Tender AF. Smoke flavor throughout. Yes.
