Over nearly nine months,
the lawsuit challenging Trump’s attempt to slash foreign aid funding
has ricocheted around the federal judiciary
but still has not reached a final resolution.
It has been reviewed by 21 judges,
spawned thousands of pages of filings
and lumbered forward
even after the administration dissolved the U.S. Agency for International Development,
the government office responsible for disbursing much of the contested funding.

The Monthslong Legal Battle to Save Foreign Aid
One lawsuit, underway since February, has sought to compel President Trump to honor Congress’s vision for foreign aid. It still has a long way to go.

@me@social.jlamothe.net consistency comes with a lot of practice,nand some locks just don't rake well. Try finding a quiet space, closing your eyes, and *really* feeling each pin and how it moves. Start at the very back, and gently slide your pick forward until you feel it ramp up against the farthest back pin. Test it. Is it binding, bouncy, frozen, loose? Then move to the next pin forward and repeat. You should be able to visualize the state of each pin as you go. Did it set high or low? Di…

As we continue down this path of escalating nihilistic meme violence, it can feel like the worst things have become viral. We are drowning in the memetic effluent of a capitalist media that profits by maximizing engagement. But I wonder if anyone remembers "Pay it Forward?"
A movie came out in 2000 about a kid who started a viral kindness campaign. The idea was that you do something nice for someone else with the expectation that they do the same in the future. I never really saw the movie, but I do remember the time. There were a few weeks, maybe a few months, where people started doing it. People would just be randomly nice, and everything actually just started feeling better.
Over time, the world caught up. Capitalism consumed the whole thing, and life went back to normal. 9/11 happened the next year, and the US started down the path of becoming the most twisted and evil version of itself. But there was a short time that doing nice stuff was a viral meme, a thing that people just started doing.
Gun violence doesn't have to be the only viral meme we have. We can make good things happen too.

Carnelian intaglio set in a modern gold ring. The motif is oriented vertically. Hermes is facing left. He wears a hat (petasos) and a cloak (chlamys) draped over his arms. He is in a crouching position, with his left leg parallel to the ground, and stepping forward with his right leg. In his right hand, he holds a wreath indicated by a circle of dots; in his left head he holds his staff (kerykeion or caduceus). The other side of the gem (not shown) is crafted to look like a scarab beetle.

I got in a nice 7km run tonight, feeling better after having had a cold. Did the first 30 min or so in HR zone 2, then got irritated with the pace and decided to go a little faster for the last half hour. That might be the plan going forward. I believe in the expanded fitness levels that zone 2 builds, but it suuuucks!
Dedicating this run to my friend @…, wishing hi…

The chart of my heart rate: zone 2 for the first half, then mostly zone 4 for the last half. My average was 144 BPM which is the absolute floor of the zone 4 estimation.
My running stats: 7km in 1:02:49 for an average pace of 8:56/km

Entrywise preservers of sign regularity
Entrywise functions preserving positivity and related notions have a rich history, beginning with the seminal works of Schur, Pólya-Szegő, Schoenberg, and Rudin. Following their classical results, it is well-known that entrywise functions preserving positive semidefiniteness for matrices of all dimensions must be real analytic with non-negative Taylor coefficients. These works were taken forward in the last decade by Belton, Guillot, Khare, Putinar, and Rajaratnam. Recently, Belton-Guillot-Kh…
