The annual Portland Fermentation Festival took place last week in Oregon, at a time when sauerkraut, kimchi, and other funky foods are in the social and political spotlight. Waking early, I put a small jar of my sauerkraut into my messenger bag, hop on my bicycle, ride to Seattle's King Street Station, and board a train heading to the Portland Fermentation Festival, the yearly gathering affectionately nicknamed "Stinkfest." Usually the sheer existence of a festival like this is enough to get people revved up to come together and talk about their favorite ferments, but in an interesting twist, fermented foods are enjoying a popularity boost from a different crowd. The MAHA movement, and particularly the Donald Trump cabinet, are big into fermented food, eating meat, usually steak, with fermented sides like kimchi or sauerkraut at every meal . I've come to Portland, Oregon, wondering if there was going to be any overlap in the Venn diagram between festival attendees and the MAHA steak-and-ferment crowd. I mentioned this to my cousin-in-law Erick, who's been part of the Portland food scene for years, and he laughed out loud.

Two US senators say the Trump administration is breaking the law by withholding the FISA court decision while it presses Congress to renew America's most sweeping surveillance program. Two Democratic senators who have long overseen US intelligence say the Trump administration is illegally withholding a secret court's findings from Congress until lawmakers renew a program that lets federal agents read Americans' communications without a warrant. Seven months ago, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court objected to search filters that let intelligence analysts pull Americans' messages from intercepted data without the approvals, written justifications, or records the law requires. The court approved another year of surveillance anyway. The ruling has never been made public, and Senators Ron Wyden of Oregon and Adam Schiff of California say the administration's own deadline for releasing it passed in September.

The wonder of the online world was built by a community of eccentric volunteers. Can it survive the A.I. models it helped train? In a world where state policy is shaped by A.I. hallucination, it's cute to remember that consulting Wikipedia was once seen as irresponsible. Schools banned its use, and journalists were shamed for credulously repeating its hoaxes. "Reads like Wikipedia" was a literary insult.
