I am loving the story of Road & Track taking down a fantastic article on Formula 1 and failing to provide any suitable explanation for doing so. The article is a wonderful piece of sports journalism, and if the aim is to expand the audience for F1, it achieves its goal. Road & Track is now experiencing the Streisand Effect in full. Anyway, I recommend reading the article (which is on the Internet Archive of course):

Behind F1's Velvet Curtain
If you wanted to turn someone into a socialist you could do it in about an hour by taking them for a spin around the paddock of a Formula 1 race. The kind of money I saw will haunt me forever.

Content warning: #USpol

Good article on yesterday's voting results for POTUS.
I keep thinking of how the media is pushing these (inaccurate) polls. I expect it to be a key context for the inevitable shenanigans we'll see from Republicans.
They'll claim voter fraud (as always), find a way to push some swing state vote counts to the courts --> SCOTUS --> installation.
And even non-partisans will refer back to "all those polls over the past few months showed it was really cl…

Text from article:

So, to sum up, the pollsters are using the 1% “weirdos” who bother to complete polls, whom they know are political extremists, to create datasets and publish polls that are way, way off, creating totally false narratives and expectations.

Pollsters can’t be too openly critical of their own industry because that would put them out of a job. But these polls are so useless and wrong that the public is actually worse off from being told about them at all.

If the national poll…

I coded a thing, just because https://github.com/rock3r/sandbox-demo
Don't yell at me for the possible performance optimisations and missing features. Open a PR :)

Continuum Many Different Things: Localisation, Anti-Localisation and Yorioka Ideals
Combining creature forcing approaches from arXiv:1003.3425 and arXiv:1402.0367, we show that, under CH, there is a proper $ω^ω$-bounding poset with $\aleph_2$-cc that forces continuum many pairwise different cardinal characteristics, parametrised by reals, for each one of the following six types: uniformity and covering numbers of Yorioka ideals as well as both kinds of localisation and anti-localisation cardinals, respectively. This answers several open questions from arXiv:1805.11005.

Hey @…, quick question:
Is the issue of instances not seeing certain replies, AKA "back-filling", an ActivityPub thing or specifically something Mastodon has implemented? Just curious.

UK’s ‘addiction’ to fast fashion creating cost strains for second hand clothing market
The UK is consuming more clothes per head than any other country in Europe, but is failing to adequately support the reuse and recycling sector to find new markets for used textiles, with WRAP citing concerns about low-quality fast fashion items.
