Top Court Clears Path for Democrats to Redraw House Map in New York
The ruling could allow Democrats to tilt anywhere from two to six G.O.P.-held seats leftward. Republicans vowed to challenge any gerrymandered map. nytimes.com/2023/12/12/nyregio

Buried in the bill that passed through the Commons today is legislation that enables the government to override the Supreme Court. That was the real payload. Close all legal routes for asylum seekers and engineer a huge backlog of processing claims. Problem. Solution.

RT by @EUintheUS: My last “official lunch” as 🇪🇺 Ambassador to the U.S. is done!

Great conversation between the NSC’s Kurt Campbell and a few of my EU and Indo-Pac colleagues in DC.

Will miss them all - and will miss breaking bread with so many old and new friends around my big table in DC! 👋

Another medical practice, another place where I'm one of the few masking. Wastewater testing proves COVID is surging again, yet our Governor (Hochul) refuses to impose a mask mandate in medical facilities, somewhere most people would agree would be reasonable.

I need a haircut.

I finally managed to track down the last couple of street art mosaics in Wilma van der Meyden's Glasgow Street Swallow series. This beautiful one on James Watt Street is made from the type of unglazed porcelain tiles often uses to make threshold mosaics on older Glasgow buildings.

It's alive! I was pretty frustrated that my DIY keyboard did not work even though I did not make any obvious mistakes soldering all the basic components. Turns out that the Atmega came with a bootloader but without the firmware. The vendor has an image on their website. I flashed it and now I can type using a cable. Next step: Adding many, many Mill-Max hotswap switch sockets.

And then we get some nonsense about how a “male presenting” entity can’t understand something because of external presentation. They took what could have been an amazing moment (non-binary, non-binary, and the DoctorDonna) and turned it into culture war "woke" nonsense.

This is where Doctor Who being “British” is getting annoying. So much British cultural propaganda seems to be embedded into the stories.
