There are always good reasons to head over to the Ojai Music Festival (OMF) come early June, for avowed fans of contemporary and modern music
— modern as in, say, from Stravinsky’s 1913 Rite of Spring forward.
More general-purpose, musically curious types are also welcome, especially on more populist programs such as the Rhiannon Giddens–directed 2023 fest.
But this year’s model, running from June 11 to 14, exerts an extra double-barreled magnetism.
This year marks th…

1996-2004: being a nerd, exploring tech but not everyone shared/understood my interest
2004-2012: fewer arguments over whether tech's useful, it's just part of life
2012-2023: yeah, tech is OK but look at how the big corps treat women, privacy ...
2023-now: tech can get the f*** out of my life

I got myself a Tuxedo laptop some months ago. It's been Linux only for a while now. No more Apple.
Besides not wanting to pay US big tech I don't really trust MacOS any more.

My previous daily driver - MBP M2 - kinda runs Asahi Linux but not well enough for work, so it's been demoted to tinkering.

With Trump’s backing
scandal-plagued Ken Paxton
has won over John Cornyn
in the Texas GOP primary for senator
– but he might lose in November against James Talarico,
a Democrat with a groundswell of popularity
Paxton comes with significant political baggage,
National Republicans worry they will have to spend significantly more with him as the nominee.
Paxton was impeached in 2023 after being accused of corruption,
and reported to the FBI…

This Cyndi Lauper tune is probably my favorite track off this brilliant all Inuktitut cover album.

Alabama cannot use a new Republican-friendly map in this year’s midterm elections
because it was drawn to intentionally discriminate against Black voters,
a panel of three federal judges ruled on Tuesday.
The decision blocks Alabama from using a congressional maplawmakers passed in 2023
-- but never went into effect because the same court found it was drawn with intent to discriminate.
Alabama was eventually ordered to adopt a map with two majority-Black distri…

Three-Dimensional Velocity Analysis and Particle Size Dynamics from Multi-Site RGB-Photometry of Noctilucent Clouds

arXiv:2605.21687v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A method for measuring the altitude and particle size of noctilucent clouds, based on positioning and photometry from wide-angle three-color cameras, has been developed to determine the three velocity components, particle radius, and its derivative with respect to time for different cloud fragments. The updated method is applied to observational data of bright clouds during the summers of 2023-2025. Meridional motion of the cloud is found to be the principal factor driving the change in particle size. The effect of particle size evolution in the presence of a strong latitudinal temperature gradient is also studied.

I guess it's "Public Education" be damned.
----
"Don Avison, a former deputy minister of education and former board chair for Emily Carr University, has been tasked with suggesting fixes that don’t rely on additional provincial funding."
---
me: Students, Insitituions, and previous NDP government reviews have been warning about this for years.
----
"Freedom of Information requests obtained by student advocates showed that Wright was warning the province as early as 2023 about the dangers of colleges and universities relying on international student tuition — and that further increasing international enrolment wouldn’t solve financial issues."
"In its submission to Avison, the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators said the undermining of B.C.’s resource economy by U.S. tariffs makes having a robust system of post-secondary education outside the Lower Mainland even more vital.
It said public post-secondary institutions are “widening access, stabilizing households, and giving people the tools to stand on their own two feet.”"
