Trump’s threat to impose fresh tariffs on eight European countries
– UK, Norway and six EU member states
– is a wrecking ball to the carefully stitched deals he concluded with those countries last summer.
The two biggest voting blocs in the European parliament,
🔸the European People’s Party (EPP) and
🔸the Socialists & Democrats (S&Ds),
said on Saturday night the deal with the EU cannot be approved in the present circumstances.

Rewriting Systems on Arbitrary Monoids
Eduardo Magalh\~aes
https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.10564 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.10564 https://arxiv.org/html/2601.10564
arXiv:2601.10564v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce monoidal rewriting systems (MRS), an abstraction of string rewriting in which reductions are defined over an arbitrary ambient monoid rather than a free monoid of words. This shift is partly motivated by logic: the class of free monoids is not first-order axiomatizable, so "working in the free setting" cannot be treated internally when applying first-order methods to rewriting presentations.
To analyze these systems categorically, we define $\mathbf{NCRS_2}$ as the 2-category of Noetherian Confluent MRS. We then prove the existence of a canonical biadjunction between $\mathbf{NCRS_2}$ and $\mathbf{Mon}$.
Finally, we classify all Noetherian Confluent MRS that present a given fixed monoid. For this, we introduce Generalized Elementary Tietze Transformations (GETTs) and prove that any two presentations of a monoid are connected by a (possibly infinite) sequence of these transformations, yielding a complete characterization of generating systems up to GETT-equivalence.

Been starting a habit of writing down story/game ideas as I have them even though most of them will never seriously get started, let alone finished. It's been fun since writing things down gives me a chance to think them through a bit more than just pondering them in my head. Anyways, here's a #GameDesign idea:
"Grand" - is a "reverse metroidvania" in which as a grandparent, you slowly lose movement options as the story progresses, requiring more and more convoluted routes through the map to reach the same areas. You do still explore "new" areas in memory mode (and unlock movement options like a bike in your memories) before traversing the areas again in the diegetic present. The story follows your quest to protect a grandchild from the machinations of a Kafkaesque state, first trying to track them down within the system and then trying to get them released. Each "boss" is "fought" through an abstracted conversation system where memories, keepsakes, and various kinds of emotional/logical appeals wear down your opponent's nihilism and/or fear until they're willing to help you. Normal "enemies" are just people on the street who might bump into you and drain some of your stamina as you pass by if you don't issue a properly-timed "excuse me" or the like.

It’s still unclear to me whether that incident was •targeting• the high school or merely •next to• the high school. I’ve heard conflicting reports from neighbors on that. One rumor is that school staff were abducted, but I don’t yet have solid confirmation on that I trust. I’ve also heard that Bovino was personally present at that raid / attack at the high school.
Either way…yeah, you can see why they’d cancel school.
