You can believe that the secret service just lets random people walk into the oval office without credentials

Or you can believe that someone in the WH wanted TASS in that room

There is actually no wiggle room here
This is a bigger scandal than people realize.

It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance.

If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was.

Putin.

A Clippy lint to simplify Rust format expressions is being voted on to become "style". I think it improves code readability and eliminates some bugs. Please vote rust-lang.zulipchat.com#narrow/chann...

Rust v1.85 is out! Clippy now allows 3rd party crates to tag format!-like macros, like `log::warn!`, so any code misusing them will now be linted too. It only took me 2 years to get it working :) github.com/rust-lang/ru...
