I wish Spotify gave me the option to hide all tracks that are:

Cowboys 'trade secrets' may have potentially revealed WR move at NFL deadline https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/onsi/news/dallas-cowboys-trade-secrets-potential-revealed-wr-move-nfl-deadline
I currently read “It can’t happen here” by Sinclair Lewis from 1935. It's about fictive events in the US in 1936: an election won by a senator turned dictator. It reads like a description of the US 2024/2025, except dear leader is Democrat, not Republican. I'm on page 90 (just finished chapter 11), almost 300 more to read, it really is hard!
As the Trump playbook follows Project 2025, are we completely sure that this is NOT just a rewrite of Lewis' novel?

The FBI reportedly recorded Donald Trump’s border czar -- Tom Homan -- accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover agents who were posing as business contractors last year.
A new report from MSNBC on Saturday reveals that the agents recorded Homan, six weeks before the 2024 election,
allegedly promising to assist in securing government contracts across the border security industry during Trump’s second term.
Six sources familiar with the matter told MSNBC that the FBIand just…
Good Morning #Canada
This morning, our old Mazda goes in for new brakes, front and back, and install the snow tires. While sipping my coffee, I was wondering about auto stats in Canada....
- Canada ranks 23rd worldwide in vehicles per 1,000 people. USA ranks 10th.
- COVID put and end to rising car ownership. In 2020 there were 473 vehicles for every 1,000 people. Today, it's estimated to be 408.
- 11% of Canadians own 3 or more vehicles, 2% own 5 or more.
- 9% own an electric vehicle or hybrid.
- 78% of Canadians say it would be impossible for them not to have a car.
- 41% wish they had better transportation options to avoid needing a car altogether.
- Compared to 2024, car ownership costs have increased 9 per cent, rising from $5,025 to $5,497 annually.

We also wrote a "Snapshot of Modern Mathematics", a short article about the so-called "4-sample-theorem" for Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Gaussian Graphical Models.
We submitted it to MFO in Spring 2024 but sadly they have not yet dealt with it. We never put out a preprint, thinking this would have been a very short process. But it is not.
So here is the preprint now, exclusively posted on the Fediverse:
