Zero days of the week have the word "fish" in their names. However, if you are referring to the 3-letter sequence "f-i-s-h", two days contain this exact string: • Tu fish day (Tuesday) • **** fish ing (no days contain the exact word fish, but 2 have the letters) Wait, let's look closer at those spellings! None of the days of the week actually contain the exact word "fish" (or even the sequence "f-i-s-h") inside them. Here are the standard spellings: • Monday • Tuesday • Wednesday • Thursday • Friday • Saturday • Sunday It turns out it's a bit of a trick question! You'll have to wait for "Fishday" to get a real one.

Al Overview Emma Thompson has performed the Stephen Sondheim ballad "Send in the Clowns" in a cabaret setting, offering a reflective, nuanced interpretation. While often associated with dramatic irony, Thompson's renditions or related performances frequently blend sharp, comedic wit with her signature soulful, intellectual style, often noted alongside her musical theater roles. Substack +2 • Performance context: Thompson has performed "Send in the Clowns" during cabaret performances. • Style: Her interpretation has been described as a nuanced take on the classic song, which was originally written for a non-singer.

How it started: "If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace." - Trump, 11/1/24 "I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars." - Trump, 11/5/24 How it's going: The Constitution grants Congress alone the power to formally declare war, something that even Republicans on Capitol Hill sought to remind Trump of this week. In his video remarks, the president indicated that he understood this operation to be a war, citing the possibility of American casualties because "that often happens in war." His declaration that "no president was willing to do what I am willing to tonight" speaks to the likely unilateral decision-making from the White House.
NYT headline: New A.C.A. Plans Could Increase Family Deductibles to $31,000
high stakes Pentagon meeting today Sec Hegseth gave Anthropic head Dario Amodei ultimatum to allow the Pentagon to use Anthropic's Al model for mass domestic surveillance and kinetic autonomous operations without human oversight or face censure and be labeled "supply chain threat." According to a source familiar: The meeting was cordial, not a dressing down, not a screaming match, all business. Hegseth praised the Anthropic product but then said if by Friday Anthropic does not agree to the Pentagon's use of the model without restrictions, then Hegseth would terminate the contract and use the Defense Production Act to force Anthropic to comply AND/OR designate Anthropic a supply chain threat and national security risk. (EDIT: Both are mutually exclusive. You can't be a supply chain risk but also invoke the DPA to say that the country needs this product so much for national security that it will override any restrictions put in place by the company that limits govt access to the product. Both cannot be true.) At issue is Anthropic's two stipulations that its advanced Al model currently used in the Pentagon's classified systems is NOT used for autonomous kinetic operations (Anthropic currently requires human oversight of autonomous operations when used to kill things for safety reasons because they don't know how the autonomous system will react and could even endanger soldiers using the model; soldiers and others could lose control of the model and automatically start killing large groups without humans in the "kill chain.") Second Anthropic bars its models from being used for mass domestic surveillance. Hegseth wants these restrictions lifted. According to a source familiar with the talks, Anthropic has never objected to the use of its models for "legitimate military operations." It also told the Hegseth it never complained to the Pentagon or Palantir about the use of its models in the Maduro raid.
