Government argues ICE facility protest was actually left-wing terrorist plot
The prosecutor displayed photos on a courtroom television of evidence seized from the garage of defendants on trial for alleged involvement in a radical left-wing conspiracy:

Photocopiers, a bookbinding machine and leaflets called “zines.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Shawn Smith asked the FBI agent on the witness stand to identify the evidence.

Having a cup of tea and a chat together to see how we can continue collaboration for the Galway West By-election like we did on Catherine Connolly's presidential election.
The momentum built during Catherine's campaign will live on. We must keep this as a left seat. And with a Vote Left Transfer Left campaign, we think that can be a reality.

6 candidates from the Galway West by-election sitting down at a table together. From left to right, Mark Lohan (SF), Míde Níc Fhionnlaoich (SocDems), Niall Murphy (Greens), Denman Rooke (PBP), Sheila Garrity (Ind), Helen Ogbu (Lab).

Since coming back from Germany for HARRIS I've been chasing a weird issue on my ThunderScope 100baseT1 test setup.
Before leaving for HARRIS I unplugged the TS, left the rest of the setup untouched, and brought the TS with me to demo to people while traveling.
After coming back the TS appears fine (passed calibration, and gives good-looking eyes on 100baseTX).
But when hooked back to the same, theoretically unmodified baseT1 test setup, I get weird diagonal distortion, …

The left end of the arc is obscured by a stand of aspen with leaves turned golden at the top and still green at the bottom. A field of brown grasses and low bushes stretches across the bottom of the image. Across the middle some low mountains lie beneath the rainbow, partially hidden by mist, or possibly rain.

The Banqueting Palace, 2026
A looming building in a dark grey, rain soaked painting, with figures in the middle ground, on a bike, one riding on the handlebars, reflected in the wet pavement. Bare winter trees are in either side in front of a blue sky. 

Anderson explains: 'This is the painting of a memory. I wanted to recapture a walk home from school. The canvas is dominated by a dark sky. Devoid of people, it evokes the twilight of a suburban winter afternoon in England. A lot of the time th…

A striking, simple blue and yellow beach scene, with a single black woman in the middle, in a bikini, with her sun on her head and shoulders. The foliage behind her is portrayed by the absence of the blue background so the yellow wash shows through.
Untitled (Red Flags), 2004
The epic scale of the dark green jungle foliage behind this beach, stretching high above to fill the frame, dwarfs the crowd of people on the beach. There are red dangers flags in front of a red and white parasol. In the distance on the right, a line of fierce surf can be seen. For something so colourful and innocent, this picture of a busy beach gives me a surprising sense of ominous dread.

Lots of progress and a lots of pain. However, all of the Sisyphus modules have been implemented and I'm currently running a test across the `2.0.0b2` version. The most painful thing I fought was literally tailing a log file. Got lazy and brought in `hpcloud/tail` because it did what I needed it to, but what it _didn't_ do was work well for my application. After a day or two of battling it, I removed it and went with `bufio.NewReader`and a nice `context.CloseWith` setup and now it…

A screenshot of the 2.0.0b2 client running on `encoder01` in two terminal windows.  The top-left window shows the log output of the client, the bottom-left window shows current CPU load via `btop`.  The webpage in the background shows the progress of all the encoder clients and what jobs they're running.
