Airlines affected by the widespread recall of Airbus A320 jets to correct a software glitch must complete the required fix before the aircraft’s next scheduled flight, except when conducting a repositioning flight to a repair facility, according to an Airbus bulletin issued on Friday. This would involve some 6,000 jets, or over half the global fleet.

Had some leftovers from a sahti x stout run I recently made for a birthday bash. Not enough of the crucial Viking Malt Chocolate Light to replay the well-received recipe, though, and the hops box was on its last crumbs of whathaveyou. I decided this is the time to be brave...

Bought a bag of frozen blueberries (200 g). Mashed a dark brew with a colourful ensemble of malts (Simpsons Maris Otter pale, Simpsons Premium English caramalt, Viking Black malt and Chocolate Light, and Tuoppi rye caramel malt). Infused the blueberries in 1,5 L of water (no boiling) with 20 g of Amarillo pellets. Realised my only option for first hops was Citra – well at least it's high in alphas, in we go at T minus 45 minutes. Brought the infusion to boil and added to the wort at 20 minutes. Scraped the last of a Kent Goldings bag for a 15 min addition.

I've never been a fan of beer with seasonings, so this is quite the experiment. We'll see what kind of animal comes out the tap in due time.

Waymo might be expanding its autonomous taxi services to northern cities like Minneapolis and Detroit, but back in Santa Monica, the company’s strained relationship with local residents has reached a breaking point.

According to the Santa Monica Daily Press, the city council has issued a formal demand that Waymo end overnight operations at two charging facilities there. City counselors unanimously approved the measure, which doesn’t mention Waymo by name, but instead orders two lots the company uses to charge and dispatch vehicles to cease nighttime operations.

We recently looked at Tiny vinyl, a new miniature vinyl single format developed through a collaboration between a toy industry veteran and the world’s largest vinyl record manufacturer. The 4-inch singles are pressed in a process nearly identical to standard 12-inch LPs or 7-inch singles, except everything is smaller. They have a standard-size spindle hole and play at 33⅓ RPM, and they hold up to four minutes of music per side.

Several smaller bands, like The Band Loula and Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and some industry veterans like Blake Shelton and Melissa Etheridge, have already experimented with the format. But Tiny Vinyl partnered with US retail giant Target for its big coming-out party this fall, with 44 exclusive titles launching throughout the end of this year.

It’s a fun new format, but finding a place in the market may be challenging.

When Donald Trump withdrew his endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, the far-right Georgia congresswoman who rose to prominence as one of his most loyal allies, on November 15, many dismissed it as just another episode of political theatre. But the moment marks something far more significant than a personal falling-out. It reveals a deepening civil war inside the Republican Party over who will lead the conservative movement after Trump, and over what “America First” should really mean.

The dividing issue is no longer simply immigration or the economy. It is foreign policy, and at the heart of it lies Israel. For the first time in recent decades, the Republican Party is publicly fighting over whether Washington’s unconditional support for Israel truly serves American interests. This fight is reshaping the American right and could redefine how the United States engages with the Middle East. For countries in the region, especially those seeking a just peace for Palestine, this split offers a rare opportunity to engage with a changing political landscape in Washington.

Israel is now at the centre of a Republican civil war

Trump’s break with Greene exposes a deeper struggle inside the American right over what ‘America First’ truly means.

Before an Afghan refugee, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, yesterday shot and seriously injured two National Guard members who had been deployed by President Donald Trump to Washington, D.C., military commanders had warned that their deployment represented an easy “target of opportunity” for grievance-based violence. The troops, deployed in an effort to reduce crime, are untrained in law enforcement; their days are spent cleaning up trash and walking the streets in uniform. Commanders, in a memo that was included in litigation challenging the high-visibility mission in D.C., argued that this could put them in danger. The Justice Department countered that the risk was merely “speculative.” It wasn’t. There are costs to performatively deploying members of the military—one of which is the risk of endangering them.

Lakanwal’s exact motives are still unknown; he worked for the CIA during the Afghan War. He is now in custody but apparently refusing to speak. Trump offered a predictable response to the shooting: pausing immigration for anyone from Afghanistan, a move that conveniently ignored how Lakanwal had gotten to the United States. He came as part of Operation Allies Welcome, admitted for his assistance to U.S. troops, and was reportedly granted asylum status after vetting by the Trump administration earlier this year.
