Eight people were sentenced to prison June 23, 2026, in connection with the nonfatal shooting of an Alvarado police officer outside the Prairieland Detention Center July 4, 2025.
Authorities have called it the first-ever federal terrorism case associated with “antifa.”

The idea of Vote Left, Transfer Left was pretty strongly adhered to in Dublin Central as the count went on.
What happened was that the voters didn’t consider SF to be left.

Our first Echium has finally flowered this year. They are supposed to flower in their second year but this one took three.
It's very popular with the bees.

Evening on Billy Goat Hill

A variety of plants, with green shrubs in the middle, yellow grasses in the foreground on right, and a deep green tree or large shrub in the back. Two plants that I can identify are bush monkeyflower, with its cream-orange flowers, and yarrow, with its rounded white flower clusters.
A dirt path curves around some shrubs and a tree as it approaches a hillside. SF skyline is on the left side of the image.
A California buckeye on a hillside blooms with cylindrical clusters of white flowers. In the distance a residential road climbs along a ridge.
View from a hillside of residential areas and a distant grassy hill crowned with a radio tower and trees. To the left at the bottom of that distant hill, the bay peeks out. The sky fades from gray-blue up top to pinkish orange at the horizon, and there are scattered dark gray clouds.

In what world would you think I would want an “AI Companion” panel *taking up almost half the application screen*? And that apparently *I cannot turn off* in the application settings itself… and instead have to login to the Zoom website to go into the settings *there* to turn off this panel?
This is the kind of behavior toward users that is turning people off to all things related to #AI

It was a fabulous warm day with so many mountain flowers in full bloom and clouds forming/drifting between the passes and nearby peaks, later developing into a heavy thunderstorm (thankfully only when I was already descending again...)

Is it possible to achieve environmental justice without justice for laborers in the Global South? Can we apply Western notions of environmentalism to Latin America? Why are workers’ lived experiences so often left out of conversations about resource extraction and allocation? Dr. Pablo Lapegna’s University of Georgia class is examining these questions in a display at the museum titled “Fiber, Food and Fuel: Mexican Environments, Labor and the Taller de Gršfica Popular.”

Alberto Beltrán's lithograph "Grinding Sugar Cane" shows a worker crouching to feed cane into a trapiche, a mill used to extract the juice that beomes sugar. In the background, a mule walks in a circle to power the mill.

Single panel comic.
Saint Peter is standing at his kiosk in front of the Pearly Gates. The little halo above his head confirms his identity. In front of him a cat is sitting on a cloud. A fireman has climbed to the top of a ladder poking through the cloud, in front of the cat. He is holding out an opened can of cat food. The fireman is saying to the cat, “I don’t know how you got up here, but I’m here to help you down.”

A man is laying alone on a double bed, under covers up to his armpits. His phone is atop a side table at his left. There’s a small lamp atop a side table on the other side of the bed. A cat is sitting on the man’s chest looking at him. The cat is saying, “You’re in my personal space.”

Content warning: Minor spoilers for "A Psalm for the Wild-Built"

Just finished "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" by Becky Chambers. Overall it's good but I also have some Thoughts.
First, it was very pleasant to finally read some non-trite utopian solarpunk after having read stuff like Octavia Butler recently. Both hope and despair can be poisonous on their own IMO, so getting some balance in is nice. It's definitely a very valuable thing to be able to lay out an actually desirable and in many ways imaginable future given our grim present. Chambers is no LeGuin though. I'll probably be reading more of her work and maybe she fleshes out these ideas elsewhere, but at least in this book there is no focus on either how the transition to a better society could happen nor on how the better society holds up in the face of adverse events and inclinations. Compare LeGuin's "The Dispossessed" or N. K. Jemisin's short story "The Ones Who Stay and Fight" and it feels like there's something important missing from Chambers' portrait of a future society. Of course, maybe the point is to make a cozy book, in which case fine, there's certainly a place for such things, and I can look for deeper inspiration elsewhere.
The second big thought I had was that Chambers' worldview seems not well-informed by certain indigenous perspectives, and this creates some contradictions. For example, (minor spoilers) when Dex enters the wilderness there's a whole bit about understanding humankind's place in nature and how human settlements are what we're used to but they're only a brief interruption of the vast untouched wilderness. Along the same lines, much of the world is intentionally left untouched by humans as a way to keep it pristine and natural. Later however, a character makes the point that humans *are* animals. The indigenous perspective that I appreciate would agree with that, and would further question the value in distinguishing between human influence on ecosystems and influences that others have. More sharply, one might observe that there's a bigger difference between how different kinds of humans relate to and influence their environments than between how less-disruptive humans and various animals do the same: the strip-mine-operator vs. migrant tribesperson impact difference is probably much greater than the migrant tribesperson vs. beaver gap, for example. Rather than talking about limiting human disruption, then, as if all human-environment interactions are disruptive and must be minimized, we could/should be talking about how to create human societies that have beneficial relationships with their environments and acknowledging that we actually have many positive examples of that, both historical and contemporary. Chambers' utopia is a "humans dominate nature but restrain themselves so that their disruptions are minimal and thus nature can thrive" vision, but what I'd even more like to see would be a "humans study old ways and make new ones so that they can interact positively with ecosystems again" vision, including some of "here are the places that sometimes breaks down but also the patterns and institutions that ensure repair of those breakdowns and thus long-term sustainability."
Final big thought: Chambers' utopia is too homogenous for my tastes. Of course it's hard enough and valuable work dreaming up and sharing any utopia and Chambers' transcends triteness in a number of ways, so this criticism is a bit rude. But the single shared religion, lack of mention of conflicts around shared decisions, especially historical society-defining ones, and nagging questions like "what about the people indigenous to the now-uninhabited lands?" and "what about the indigenous peoples who weren't part of the factory-building societies?" leave me wishing for more nuance in this direction.
All in all: a good book, and I'm criticizing out of a place of appreciation, not scorn. I've got there sequel out from the library as well and will probably detour to a few other books but get to it pretty soon.
Sadly I don't remember who, but I got this one because of a recommendation on here, so thanks if you're someone who recommended it!

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.

Deeply ambivalent on this piece in the FT. On the one hand as @… lays out so well, we're polluting the atmosphere and destroyo astronomy with these satellite launches, and there's a real risk for Kessler syndrome.
On the other hand, I've used Starlink myself (in Antarctica) - it's extremely useful and Europe is indeed being left far behind.

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:

Verizon didn't even bother to seal up the hole. Just drilled a hole in the brick, ran the fiber through, and left a welcome mat for any ants (or other insects) and water to come right in. I fucking hate cable and telephone companies.

Close-up on a brick wall. A hole with white fiber-optic cable is coming through. Below it, the brick dust from the newly-created hole. There's no caulk or anything filling the hole, just the cable going into it (which is like 1/10th the diameter of the hole).
The other side of the brick, showing the hole with the fiber optic cable and no caulk or other sealant. A flashlight is shining next to the hole so you can see stuff.
Same (opposite) side of the brick, but this time without the flashlight. You can see the white cable, and where the cable goes into the hole you can see daylight shining through the other end.

Kim Jong-un declared that steadily expanding North Korea’s nuclear forces was
the “most correct and unique way” to cope with an increasingly unstable world,
citing what he described as growing threats from the US and its allies.
The remarks were just the latest in a recent stream of commentary from North Korea’s leadership that has seen Kim pledge to equip warships with nuclear missiles,
