Trump wants to limit credit card #interest rates at 10%. Thatb idea is fraught with issues.
Why not go after the #usurious Payday Loan industry?

No matter how you twist or turn it, Mr Drumpf has done one good thing for the world.
It has made the rest of the world take a look at themselves and ask one very critical question: "Do we rely too much on USA?"
And I think that in most cases, the answer has been "Yes. Yes, we do", and many countries has already started the process of changing this.
So, credit where credit is due, I suppose...

Good Morning #Canada
The month of December will typical put a dent in your paycheck, or January if you're using your credit cards, so it's tough to save any money. Canadians rank 21st worldwide with regards to how much of our salary we put into a savings account. According to World Population Review, we put away approximately 7% of our paycheck for a #RainyDay, far behind South Korea at 35%. I'm retired and therefore not a saver at this point, but even during my most successful earnings period I can't imagine I would have been able to put away a third of my salary.
I suspect the savings percentage is driven by a small group of high wage earners as individual Canadian debt has increased. According to Equifax, total consumer debt in Canada reached $2.56 trillion at the end of 2024, a 4.6 per cent increase over 2023.

I've re-watched the BBC's Fortunes of War, for research purposes. I saw it as a kid but it's much tougher to watch as an adult.
Credit to the writer/screen adaptation, it does show characters criticising colonialism, and from a variety of perspectives.
The polite put-downs the British use when jockeying for position in the class system are also painful to watch.

I have a lot of credit cards ... too many credit cards. It is part of a medium-term strategy but I am planning to collapse them in, this year. One of them offers a $10 per month doordash credit on retail and I discovered that it works on sushi from Kroger. If you pair that with one of their regular "50% off $25 " deals, you can get $40 worth of mediocre sushi for $10.
It is truly mediocre sushi, but it's also only $10.

I get the outrage, and the injustice of those sanctions, but 'Amazon', Uber, better off without those.

At the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, President Donald Trump spoke from prepared remarks as he discussed the persecution of Mariam Ibrahim.

Meta-learning three-factor plasticity rules for structured credit assignment with sparse feedback
Dimitra Maoutsa
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.09366 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.09366 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.09366
arXiv:2512.09366v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Biological neural networks learn complex behaviors from sparse, delayed feedback using local synaptic plasticity, yet the mechanisms enabling structured credit assignment remain elusive. In contrast, artificial recurrent networks solving similar tasks typically rely on biologically implausible global learning rules or hand-crafted local updates. The space of local plasticity rules capable of supporting learning from delayed reinforcement remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a meta-learning framework that discovers local learning rules for structured credit assignment in recurrent networks trained with sparse feedback. Our approach interleaves local neo-Hebbian-like updates during task execution with an outer loop that optimizes plasticity parameters via \textbf{tangent-propagation through learning}. The resulting three-factor learning rules enable long-timescale credit assignment using only local information and delayed rewards, offering new insights into biologically grounded mechanisms for learning in recurrent circuits.

Good Morning #Canada
Did you know that Interac, the Big Brother organization that knows if you're naughty or nice based on your shopping habits, tracks the busiest shopping day of the year? According to their data, Canadians are apparently getting smarter. A decade ago, December 23rd was traditionally the busiest day of the year for retailers based on how many debit and credit cards they swiped. About 5 years ago it began to shift to earlier in the month and in 2025 December 19th was forecasted to be the pinnacle of purchasing. Maybe we ran out of money 4 days earlier.

A young Black scientist discovered a pivotal leprosy treatment in the 1920s − but an older colleague took the credit
Historians are working to shine a light on Alice Ball’s legacy and contributions to an early treatment of a dangerous and stigmatizing disease.
