Last week, a Rustup change caused widespread CI breakage. The change itself merits discussion as it gets at the tension between ease-of-use and rigor, but more interesting was the reaction: folks in both the Rustup community and the broader Rust community worked together to brainstorm a fix. The result was, as @steveklabnik.com wrote, "a happy for Rust." Today @ahl and I will be joined by Steve to discuss; join us, 5p Pacific!

Don't travel to the U.S.
This is not a boycott situation.
I'm telling you this for your own safety. This is not hyperbole.
The probability that you will be held in a "detention center" (read: concentration camp) until your scheduled departure from the U.S. is extremely high and worse could happen to you.

US Palestinian college activist Mahmoud Khalil has been illegally arrested by ICE over the weekend.
Khalil is a green card holder and there is no known legal justification for his arrest. This appears to have been an arbitrary arrest at the direction the White House. Last I heard Khalil has not been allowed to speak to a lawyer. He has been transfered over 1000 miles to ICE detention in Louisiana.

“Ontario slaps 25% increase on electricity exports to U.S. in response to Trump's trade war”
it is the deliberate uncertainty against which the Ontario Premier is reacting. this trade war against US *allies* is just plain stoopid: “Until the threat of tariffs is gone for good, Ontario won’t back down. We’ll stand strong, use every tool in our toolkit and do whatever it takes to protect Ontario.”

From Wikipedia: “The Mistress of the Copper Mountain (Russian: Хозяйка медной горы, romanized: Khozyaika mednoi gory;[a]), also known as The Malachite Maid (Russian: Малахитница, romanized: Malakhitnitsa), is a legendary being of the Ural miners.. said to be the Mistress of the Ural Mountains of Russia.. A character of Slavic mythology and Russian fairy tales…
The Mistress of the Copper Mountain has the appearance of an extremely beautiful young woman with green eyes… or sometimes a mature woman, though unmarried, as indicated by her unscarved hair… Some of her more distinctive features include dark braided hair, ribbons from thin tinkling copper, and a gown that is made from malachite. She wears a diadem decorated with malachite and precious stones… The mistress can appear as a lizard herself… sometimes wearing a crown… and has the mountain lizards under her command… She may also assume the form of a snake.”
