Weird #fediverse issue. I'm following a person on a very small instance. That person is also following me. Their posts, boosts and likes reach me.
What I don't see is their profile pic. For whatever reason it's not appearing in the profile view or timeline. Going to the instance, the pic is there.
unfollowing and following didn't do anything. Any idea?

Dear mastodon.social, why are you hiding/limiting @…’s account?
Is it policy on mastodon.social to hide/limit pro-Palestinian / anti-genocide accounts?
(Someone there wanna check my account also, just in case?)

I didn't realize so many Quick Build projects were failing this badly to reduce injury crashes. On some of these streets I *feel* safer since the changes, but the numbers don't lie. These are failures and SF must reevaluate its whole approach. Concrete > flex posts

Vision Zero lacks a vision, experts say
As San Francisco hit the 10-year anniversary of its 2014 “Vision Zero” plan to eliminate all traffic fatalities, the effort has failed: Nearly as many

Sometimes, even though I know my "joke" posts might come off as humorless, I say "fuck it" and post it anyway, because amusing myself is more important than someone else's feelings. Only sometimes though.
It's only fair to make myself laugh every now and then.

I just discovered that one can register to vote when filing the California tax forms.
California has a qualitatively different voting policy than those retrograde states. Here one can vote during a period of weeks, postage is free on mail ballots, you can register and vote (provisionally) at the same time, you can drop a ballot at any precinct in the state, there are mobile voting centers that will come to you, and there is a state law that promotes voting by every person who is eligi…

"Let’s pause here. What would happen if the #NYTimes suddenly hired a #Palestinian filmmaker with no journalistic background, who had recently publicly “liked” posts that called for “pushing Israeli Jews into the sea,” to co-write several of its most sensitive and contested reports?"

Extraordinary charges of bias emerge against NYTimes reporter Anat Schwartz
New doubts are emerging about the New York Times’s coverage of sexual violence in the October 7 attack. The paper must explain why it broke its own rules by hiring a clearly biased writer who endorsed racist and violent rhetoric toward Palestinians.

Arthur packets for pure real forms of symplectic and special orthogonal groups
Arthur packets have been defined for pure real forms of symplectic and special orthogonal groups following two different approaches. The first approach, due to Arthur, Moeglin and Renard uses harmonic analysis. The second approach, due to Adams, Barbasch and Vogan uses microlocal geometry. We prove that the two approaches produce essentially equivalent Arthur packets. This extends previous work of the authors and J. Adams for the quasisplit real forms.
