Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old lawyer turned doctoral student, is the latest candidate to rise from the party's left flank and boot establishment-backed candidates.
That includes two self-described democratic socialists and a progressive who won their Democratic primaries in New York last week.
Kiros' victory adds to a nascent but clear uprising, stirred by frustration among some voters, that has vexed party leadership.

Just thinking about the political discussion going on here these days... Seems to me we need better labels. 'Right' in English has the unfortunate connotation of 'correct', and 'Left' the connotation (but perhaps only among the better read) of 'sinister'... I think new terms without that baggage are required. I propose that the Left<->Right spectrum be replaced by the Nobel<->Ignoble spectrum, which is more objective accurate in any case.

Photo of a high alpine landscape with three different valleys in bright hazy morning light. In the bottom left corner, still in the shade, a meandering creek is flowing down the rocky hanging valley formed by its former glacier. A small talus field in the sun, next to the path. Further in the distance much larger, deeper valleys, their floor occluded and only the upper sections illuminated. Glaciated peaks along the whole horizon, partially blanked out by intense bright light. Clear blue sky.
A small footpath, surrounded by talus fields, leading into the distance. Behind, on the other side of the invisible valley, some of the immense, imposing, glaciated peaks of the Kreuzkamm, specifically Talleitspitze (3406m) and Kreuzspitze (3455m). Not much is remaining of the formerly grand Eisferner in between these peaks. Clear blue sky.

If you followed that route you likely have many small teams that need to coordinate with each other for every change you make.

headed to the post office to mail a couple mix tapes to ypsilanti and rockingham (va)

Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels.

Tape 1 (purple with green polka dots)

A solid violet-purple background covered edge to edge with dozens of hand-painted green dots, scattered in loose clusters rather than a strict grid — playful, almost confetti-like. Simple two-color palette, high contrast.

ALT by Claude
Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels.

Tape 1 (magenta/red top, red with painted loops on bottom)

The top panel (the label area over the cassette windows) has a pink-to-magenta gradient sitting above a red band flecked with small blue dots, like leopard-print texture. Below the cassette hubs, the second panel is a solid red field with loose, looping line-drawings in blue, purple, and maroon — they read like abstract scribbled circles/knots rather than representational shapes.

ALT by Claude
Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels.

Tape 2 (dark abstract/textured — reddish brown)

This one has a more painterly, textured look: a mottled rust/copper background (looks like it could be a marbled or sponge-textured paint job) with a large dark navy/black organic blob in the upper left, a bold red circular "eye" or button shape right of center, and a thin lavender line running along the bottom edge. Moodier and more atmospheric than the other tapes.

ALT by Claude
Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels.

Tape 2 (green/red with wormlike shapes)

Top panel: green field over a red stripe, straightforward color-blocking. Bottom panel: bright green background with two long, wavy worm/snake shapes — one red-and-pink striped, one green-and-lavender striped — winding across the panel, surrounded by small dark magenta polka dots.

In the sure and certain knowledge that the problem probably really was insuperable and sooner or later you will be stopped by a subtask you cannot complete... And that will have to be left as an insuperable problem for the next day. Rinse and repeat.

Just started listening to this one, and I'd absolutely recommend it. It's great.
It's really hard to explain how complicated beliefs can be, especially to folks in an urban bubble. The truth is, part of my anarchism came from listening to #rural folks. I didn't really live in a big city until I was like 18, but I came to those places already with a set of liberal biases.
Some of the things I experienced in those places pushed me towards being a Communist. But there are some strangely anarchistic tenancies, even in those who profess to be politically the opposite.
My stance on guns was largely shaped by understanding and extending the arguments of rural gun owners. They continued to evolve long after, but it took actually listening to break through my liberal biases and understand the ways in which gun control can actually intersect with other forms of oppression. There is a lot more nuance than I had grown up to believe.
And it goes both ways. Conservative gun owners have absolutely no intellectual against anarchist gun arguments. They're generally either gonna fall into racism that you can talk about, or start to radicalize left. There are plenty of similar pathways.
But also, not everyone in rural areas is conservative. There are plenty of rural anarchists and communists. They just get buried under stereotypes.
Anyway, this has been great to listen to and I'd recommend it.

“Who are you when you stop outsourcing your self-definition?”
A provocative question, to answer as a person, and also as an actor. (Who we are and who we are as an actor may have little overlap.)
I did not encounter this question today the way Kelly Rook Daly did, but I’m glad I did.

Blake could barely make a living illustrating other people’s work, and it left no time for his own art.
He yearned for a different technique that could achieve the same result in less time and with less toil.
No such technique existed.
So he invented it.
Rather than cut the shapes onto the plates with his sharp steel burin, he painted directly onto the copper with a quill or brush dipped in acid-resistant varnish, then bathed the plates in acid, which stripped a layer …

Both the SF Congress race and the California gubernatorial have this weird dynamic where the viable candidate with the most-left platform is an ultra-rich person self-funding their campaign. I don't like it, but nor do I like that the alternatives — the candidates of relatively humble origins — are selling out *to* ultra-rich people. It seems like a symptom of our new gilded age.

There are warning signs for Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries,

If Democrats win only a narrow majority in the heavily gerrymandered chamber in November,
it will give each vote outsize importance
and Jeffries critics more opportunities to influence policy.

Screenshot of settings screen - arrow shows Share Text Format set to display both the emoji grid AND accessible text describing the grid) PLEASE turn this on.
Another screenshot of the settings page. This one has an arrow pointing to the “Pre Header Line” Text box. Text entered in this box will be saved and persist across games. The text in this box will appear on the header line directly before Wordle. No space is inserted between this text and Wordle - so if you want a space, leave a space at the end of your text.
This allows you to add a hashtag (#) which, with no space after it would result in a header line starting #Wordle

Nice day in the #OakWoodlands of Golden Gate Park where along with oaks I saw bush monkeyflower, California sagebrush, hummingbird sage, coast buckwheat, beach strawberry, common yarrow, Hooker's evening primrose, and even a little rooreh by the path.

Various shrubs and herbs, including bush monkeyflower, also known as sticky monkeyflower, with its characteristic light-orange trumpet-like flowers, said to resemble a monkey's face. In the foreground, an herb, coast buckwheat, with white flower clusters, and deep green leaves belonging to coast strawberry creep down a small stone.
Hooker's evening primrose plants, tall herbs with big yellow flowers. Oaks behind them.
Common yarrow (herb with white flower clusters), orange California poppies that have closed up for the evening, and a hummingbird sage next to the poppies. The area is mulched and has teal flags to indicate plantings.
Rooreh, also called miner's lettuce, a small stout plant with wide leaves shaped like satellite dishes, to the left of a wooden step on a trail.

Authorities have called it the first-ever federal terrorism case associated with “antifa.”

In a pair of rulings yesterday, a federal judge dealt two blows to Trump’s stewardship of the Kennedy Center, which he took over last year:
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ordered the removal within two weeks of Trump’s name from the institution,
which Congress established as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy in 1964,
and he partially granted a preliminary injunction, saying that the center had to halt plans to close.
