European Left Party: A Double Boost. The European Left Party’s practical value is measured by whether the decisions taken in Brussels lead to concrete action. By Uwe Sattler.
europa.blog/en/european-left-p

A year ago this week,
Zohran Mamdani’s surprise victory in the Democratic primary for mayor upended New York politics.
Now, in the closing days of another primary season,
he has thrown himself back onto the campaign trail,
this time risking his political capital in a high-stakes bid to catapult fellow leftists to primary victories against the old Democratic guard.
Mr. Mamdani and allies are attempting to unseat two Democratic incumbents,

Content warning: Don't Pray for the Left (Parody)

I've long wanted to write something about the Nazi musician Tom MacDonald, whose recent song “Pray for the Left” was so outlandish that people enjoyed it for thinking it was a parody of itself. In that idea, I began rewriting the lyrics of that song, thinking I might some day make a cover but from the perspective of the left, that's what this post is about, tell me what you think:

As described in the post. In the background, left, dark spruce woodland. There are two steel gates to the left of the tractor, one new, one relocated. The tractor is in the middle, between the gates, with an old but sound wooden gate loaded into the box, leaning against the roll bar.

The reasons we consider plagiarism to be cheating in school and malpractice in professional contexts are many of the same reasons that LLMs are not going to replace all knowledge-based human labor. (Details left as an exercise for the reader.)
And yes, a whole lot of what LLMs do •would• count as plagiarism if one of my students did it manually, and •should• count as plagiarism just the same if they use a machine to do it — not just in a “that’s cheating!!” sense, but more importantly in a “that’s not really doing the work” sense.

This image captures a serene and picturesque mountain summit, blending natural beauty with a touch of human presence. The foreground is dominated by vibrant blue gentian flowers, their striking color standing out against the rugged, rocky terrain. The flowers are in sharp focus, drawing the viewer's attention to their delicate petals and adding a sense of vitality to the scene.

The background features a wooden cross, a common marker for mountain peaks, standing tall against the clear blue sky.…

You can see a glimpse of orange dining chair bottom right, and a faintly twee tall white wood cabinet on the left. There are blue skies, the garden is very green, and the wall behind the radiator is in a state as we've just had an air source heat pump fitted and 10 radiators replaced 😱 It's prompted us to repaint the dining room, probably in a pale green.

When the iPad is propped up using the cover in the photo, the home button has to be on the right. But I'm left-handed, so whenever I want to use the home button for the Touch ID, I have to reach across the tablet. It's not hard, but it's slightly awkward.

Robert Hughes wanted it both ways. In the final moments of "The Shock of the New," his landmark 1980 BBC series on modern art, he declared the avant-garde dead and then, in the same breath, described its beating heart. He told us that the radical project of art was finished, that the market had swallowed it whole, that the institutions had filed its teeth down to nothing.

Unfortunately, GA is one of the very few states that requires runoffs in races where nobody got 50.0001% or more of votes in a given race, so we’ll do this all again in 4 weeks.

crime: Rosenfeld crime network (1991)
A network of associations among suspects, victims, and/or witnesses involved in crimes in St. Louis in the 1990s. Data are derived from police records, via snowball sampling from five initial homicides. Left nodes are people, right nodes are crime events, and edges connect people to particular crimes events they were associated with. Metadata includes names, genders, and roles (suspects, victims, and/or witnesses).
This network has 1380 nodes…

The result that should really cause you to update your beliefs about this year’s midterms is not in the topline or the Times’ official reporting, but hidden deep in the poll’s crosstabs.
A big story of the 2024 election was that Donald Trump made inroads with non-voters who traditionally leaned Democratic, and even got some of them to turn out for him.
But now it’s looking like he has squandered those gains and put his party on the path to midterm defeat in the House

I was feeling caffeine deprived but not foxy when this snow squall hit but I figured "other people will believe in me if even if I don't" (like my hero Peter Parker!) and sure enough I ran into these two between the Rhodes Hall loading dock and the 7-11; maybe the last time this year I went out in my winter phase

Moving from one social media platform to another shows how unimportant you are.
This just came to my mind today when I posted one photo in my Instagram story where usually about 50-80 ppl watch it.
And after repeatedly telling that I'm moving away, almost noone followed. It was the same when I left Twitter.
Having followers doesn't mean having their loyalty. Even though it would just be one app install..

Both are wearing a professional multi layered suit, yet only Erik Uden is wearing a children's propeller hat. In the background on the left you can see another person wearing such a propeller hat.

No One Left…
First they came for the drugs, and I didn't care because I don't use drugs. Then they came for the raw milk and I did not speak out because I am squeamish about very low levels of risk. Then they came for the sporting guns that are no more powerful or dangerous than any modern hunting rifle and I did not speak out because guns are scary and complicated, and I don't like to think.

In a significant victory for the party’s left wing, Chris Rabb took roughly 45% of the vote in Tuesday’s contest, comfortably ahead of early frontrunner state senator, Sharif Street, who fell to under 30%, and surgeon Ala Stanford.
Rabb addressed supporters, in an emotional victory speech, who had powered a grassroots campaign backed by the Philadelphia Democratic Socialists of America and the Working Families party.

Yes, I am subtooting.

Water in the Colorado River is dwindling to levels that haven’t been seen in decades,
and the seven states whose residents and farmers depend on the river can’t agree on a fair way to divide up what’s left.
Negotiations are going nowhere despite more than six months of ongoing talks, plus cajoling by the Trump administration, which twice gathered governors in hopes of a breakthrough that never came.

U.S. political thought has long assumed that extremism carries the seeds of its own correction
— that the system, left to its own natural cycles, will eventually drift back toward balance.
Under that logic, the Republican Party’s future goes something like this:
After two presidential terms and the MAGA coalition that Donald Trump built, the party will eventually self-correct, nudged back toward stability by growing dissatisfaction with Trump’s low approval ratings, unstable …

much like what the Trump administration is reportedly consi…
