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.

6 days after returning from Panama, I had outpatient surgery for a total left knee replacement. This was my third joint replacement (Rt Knee Jan 2016, left hip Nov 2025). Look Out Col Steve Austin. All is going well, but knees are tough, one must strictly follow the rehab exercises especially in the first two weeks - there's a limited window to get range of motion back 😰.
So far so good. I’m keeping up on exercises, and ditched the walker for a cane today. 🤞
Wife left the car unlocked, #meshstatic unit stolen (Heltec v4, they left the mount though).
Battery died, but I'll see if they're smart and dumb enough to plug it in within range of my network - probably not though 😄

The Avant-Garde Never Left: Robert Hughes Described the Revolution and Then Declared It Over
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.

"I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character."

A year ago, my sister cooked the engine in her car and because she was still paying the note on it, she just left it in my parents' back yard.

I've noticed how people who are 'left' in their politics are happy to identify themselves that way. People on the 'right', however, seldom identify themselves that way, as it tends to reflect poorly on them - 'right' connotes selfish, bigoted, greedy, mean, cold, ignorant, religious, pragmatic rather than principled... I propose we adopt new terms for the political spectrum rather than 'left'<->'right', namely 'noble'<->'ign…
After reading the article from The Ditch in relation to the Greens’ Galway West by-election candidate Niall Murphy and due to my own loose affiliation through a Vote Left Transfer Left campaign that he is also involved in, I felt a statement must be made.

Still don't know what's happening with the wee one. There was a MEETING today but we haven't heard the results yet. I am leaving for Civic in an hour, and husband was planning to drop my friend and me off at the nearest Rapid bus stop before making his way north to pick up the wee one from preschool. Left a message at CYF explaining our movements and that we need to know what's been decided (if anything) but haven't heard anything yet. Interesting times.

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.
Still an important job and I’m happy to do my part.

U.S. political thought has long assumed that extremism carries the seeds of its own correction

Under that logic, the Republican Party’s future goes something like this:
