I watched the highlights of that Brady comeback the other day and even having watched it live and knowing full well what happened, still couldn’t shake the feeling Brady was going to lose. Just an unreal comeback.
Worst case scenario for me: Tom Brady vindicated, that comeback vs the Falcons looking even more impressive.

Duggan going independent to thread the needle of taking credit for Detroit's progress, without being associated with the "what the Democrats did to Detroit" mindless rhetoric. Will probably work.

Detroit / Grosse Pointe border. An example of what you can do with demographic data from @Esri now available in @regridapp's nationwide parcel data: Map shows all occupied homes (per Regrid land use and USPS vacancy data), color coded by block group level 2024 median household income from Esri Demographics. Endless ways to be amazed by how little space separates such a distance in wealth here.

Having the only extant Stargate, naturally Project Stargate should headquarter in Detroit’s Hart Plaza
Announcing The Stargate Project The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies. The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman. Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements. As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system. This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle. This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services. All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.

That low in 2014 was during Motor City Mapping when @regridapp and others were working with a few hundred people surveying the condition of all 400,000 properties in Detroit. Fun times except when the tablet screens got too cold to work.
Low temperature was -14°F both days January 6-7, 2014 in Detroit. Trying hard to match that next week. -14°F from ECMWF 12z for Detroit Metro.
