Avram David "Avi" Lewis is the leader of Canada's
New Democratic Party (NDP).
Lewis: “Our NDP has a different offer for this country.
Our plan is to Trump-proof the economy

A public housing developer.”

ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black and white image of a mountainous landscape with rugged terrain in the background. Two tall metal transmission towers dominate the foreground, with power lines stretching horizontally across the sky. At the base of the towers, rooftops of buildings peek through the vegetation. The scene contrasts natural majesty with industrial presence, highlighting how infrastructure intersects with untouched land. The monochrome effect adds drama and starkness to the co…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A close-up black and white photograph of a metal wire fence with a diamond-shaped pattern. Dense foliage surrounds and weaves through the fence, with large, broad leaves suggesting a mature plant overtaking the structure. The contrast between the rigid geometry of the fence and the organic curves of the leaves highlights nature’s quiet persistence. The monochrome palette emphasizes texture and depth, drawing attention to the interplay of light and shadow on both …
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A narrow, unpaved alleyway winds between overgrown vegetation and a low stone wall. The wall is topped with broken ceramic shards, possibly remnants of dishes or pots. On the right, a wooden fence post leans amid wild plants. In the distance, small brick structures peek through the foliage, suggesting an abandoned or rural setting. The black and white tone evokes nostalgia and quiet decay, capturing a moment of stillness in a forgotten place. 中文替代文字： 这是一条狭窄的未铺设小径…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A moody black and white photograph featuring the silhouette of a leafless tree branch in the foreground. On the right, leafy branches add texture. In the background, faint outlines of a road, vegetation, and power lines stretch across a dim sky, possibly at twilight or under overcast conditions. The composition evokes solitude and quiet contemplation, with stark contrasts between the dark branches and the pale sky. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白照片，画面前景是一根光秃的树枝剪影，右侧有些带叶的枝条增添层次。背景…

Content warning: NZPol US oligarchs supporting the Right Wing even in Aotearoa

I think this should be off-putting for any self-respecting NZer. The parties should also, perhaps, lose popular support due to their willingness to accept the money. rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/589237

The Dying Grove: A Novel Born from the Collision of Joyce and Mycorrhiza
Some books are written. Others are grown. "The Dying Grove" belongs to the second category, and that distinction is not metaphor but method. This novel, the first in a new series called Fractional Fiction, emerged from an experiment in literary hybridization: what happens when you take the formal architecture of modernist masters and seed it with contemporary scientific research? The result is…

Gail Slater,
the chief antitrust enforcer at DOJ,
has just resigned,
-- a prelude to this settlement happening.
Slater was cut out of the negotiations with MAGA lobbyists on the Live Nation case.
DOJ is just a corrupt shell at this point.

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) Image 3 – Alt Text (English) A black‑and‑white photo of a tall, symmetrical building with two towers, each topped with an antenna. The building has a grid pattern of windows. In the foreground, out‑of‑focus plants or branches partially block the view. The sky is clear. The contrast highlights the straight architectural lines behind the softer shapes of the foliage. Image 3 – Alt Text (Chinese) 一张黑白照片，主体是一栋高大且对称的建筑，两侧各有一座带天线的塔楼。建筑外墙呈网格状窗户。前景有模糊的植物或枝叶，部分遮挡视线。天空晴朗。画面呈现…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) Image 1 – Alt Text (English) A black‑and‑white photo showing a tall building seen through a chain‑link fence. The fence is close to the camera and has a bent or damaged opening in the center. Through this opening, a multi‑story building with many windows is visible in the background. The building appears rectangular and modern. The angle is slightly low, making the building look taller. The focus is on the fence, while the building behind it is somewhat softer in deta…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) Image 2 – Alt Text (English) A black‑and‑white close‑up of a vine with several leaves in the foreground. The vine is sharply in focus. Behind it, out of focus, is a multi‑story building and a roadway or overpass with vehicles on it. The background appears urban, but details are softened by shallow depth of field. The contrast highlights the difference between the natural vine and the built environment. Image 2 – Alt Text (Chinese) 一张黑白特写照片，前景是一根带叶子的藤蔓，清晰可见。背景模糊，可看到多…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (6x6) Image 4 – Alt Text (English) A black‑and‑white photo of a concrete wall with a tiled base along a sidewalk. Shadows of tree branches and leaves stretch across the wall and ground, creating irregular patterns. The shadows are long, suggesting low sunlight. The scene contains only the wall, sidewalk, and shadows, with no people present. Image 4 – Alt Text (Chinese) 一张黑白照片，画面为一面混凝土墙及其下方的瓷砖基座，旁边是人行道。树枝和树叶的影子投射在墙面和地面上，形成不规则的图案。影子较长，显示光源位置较低。画面中没有人物。
