Gorton and Denton - a rough vote analysis.
Green vote gain (10,200) was 2,000 short of Lib/Left reductions
Reform vote gain (5400) 3250 more than Tory reduction.
Suggests broadly that Greens got the Lib/Left votes and Reform the Tory ones, but some Labour went to Reform.
However the stay at homes likely to have been different population each time, with Greens mobilising former abstentions and Labour having more abstensions this time.

E.J.Hughes only wanted to be left alone to paint. He made hundreds of paintings in his 70 year career and lived long enough to hear on the telephone that one of his paintings fetched over $1m in his lifetime. Not many humans have that experience!
I was lucky enough to be invited to a preview at Emily Carr Uni - and I am very glad we went. Hughes was one of a kind!

A painting of Taylor Bay BC, in 1952 with a fishing boat in the foreground and a steamship in the background. There are a couple of waterside cabins and trees take up much of the top of the picture with a distant mountain on the left. The painter is E. J. Hughes and the picture is currently on display at the Audain Gallery in Whistler.

EyeBrain: Left and Right Brain Lateralization Activity Classification Through Pupil Diameter and Fixation Duration
Ko Watanabe, Pooja Pol, Nicolas Gro{\ss}mann, Shoya Ishimaru, Andreas Dengel
arxiv.org/abs/2604.23562 arxiv.org/pdf/2604.23562 arxiv.org/html/2604.23562
arXiv:2604.23562v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The relationship between brain lateralization and cognitive functions is well-documented. The left hemisphere primarily handles tasks such as language and arithmetic, while the right hemisphere is involved in creative activities like drawing and music perception. Eye-tracking technology has shown the potential to reveal cognitive states by measuring ocular metrics such as pupil diameter and fixation duration. However, the ability to distinguish lateralized brain activity using these ocular metrics remains underexplored. Here, we demonstrate that pupil diameter and fixation duration can effectively classify left and right brain hemisphere activities. We obtained a considerably high classification performance, with an F1 score of 0.894. The results suggest that ocular metrics are robust indicators of lateralized brain activity and can be applied in cognitive monitoring and neurorehabilitation. Our future work expands on this by integrating these methods into real-time applications EyeBrain, potentially broadening their use across various cognitive and neurological domains.

Next week, the grad students and I will be discussing Don Wright's biography of my forebear at the University of Toronto and English Canada's national historian, Donald Creighton. It's an expertly crafted book that, while sympathetic to the famously cantankerous Creighton, doesn't pull its punches. It tells us much about how the academic discipline of history developed alongside a certain strain of conservative nationalism through the middle decades of 20th-century Canada.

For #footpathfriday I'm sharing this one again. It's really one of our most liked trails.
Even though it doesn't gain a lot of elevation, the path along the shore of the lake is all I like:
narrow, pretty nature like, absolutely great views, bends along the shores so that you don't see too far, and mountains all around ... what else would you need 🙂

A breathtaking lakeside trail scene unfolds in this image, capturing the serene beauty of a rugged coastal path. The foreground features a narrow, rocky trail that winds along the edge of a steep cliff. The trail, bordered by patches of grass and shrubs, invites exploration and promises stunning views.

To the left of the trail, a calm lake stretches out, its tranquil waters reflecting the sunlight. The lake is nestled amidst the cliffs and trees, adding a sense of peaceful solitude to the scen…

Late in 2024, Elon Musk endorsed Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland. We document that after this, Tesla sales rose by up to 30 percent in right-leaning districts relative to left-leaning ones [..] Divestment in second-hand markets shows no partisan differences, consistent with resale requiring a larger identity cost from Tesla’s image shock than non-purchase. Our lower bound-estimate for the overall loss in Tesla sales is [..] worth at least €241 million."

Panel (a) reports event-study estimates using new registrations of other electric vehicle
brands as the outcome variable. Panel (b) examines political polarization in private Tesla listings on a large second-hand market.
Two maps of Germany at district level: The left panel shows the change in new Tesla registrations by district between the first half of 2024 and the first half of 2025. The right panel shows district-level vote shares for the Alternative for Deutschland in the 2021 federal election.
The upper panel shows event study estimates of the Alternative for Deutschland vote shares in the 2021 federal election on new Tesla registrations. The lower panel shows event study estimates of the Green Party vote share in the 2021 federal election on new Tesla registrations.

Jayden Daniels: Last season left 'bitter taste' espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/488937

Three doctors gathered and told the couple that the longer Waldorf’s cervix remained open and her uterus exposed to bacteria,
the higher her risk of developing a life-threatening infection.
The standard of care, they explained, would be to quickly empty her womb. 
But they couldn’t do that, one doctor said apologetically, sighing deeply.
The baby still had a detectable heartbeat, and stopping it would run afoul of a state abortion ban that snapped into place after the…

Harman Switch Azure (FF)

English

A street scene with a vendor truck parked on the right side. The truck has a banner in Chinese characters and is selling bags of apples, some stacked on the truck bed and some on the ground. Two people are near the truck, one standing and one sitting. In the foreground, a person on a bicycle is slightly blurred, carrying large white bags. The background shows a city street with buildings, trees, and a few pedestrians.

English

A city street at dusk, with a street sign in both Chinese and English reading "Guanghua St" and "Guangxin South St." The sky is orange, indicating sunset or heavy pollution. A row of blue lanterns hangs from a traffic light pole on the left. In the background, there are tall apartment buildings, and a bare tree is visible on the right.

Harman Switch Azure (FF)

English

A hazy cityscape at sunset or sunrise, with the sun appearing as a bright spot in the orange sky. The skyline is filled with tall buildings, and the foreground shows silhouettes of structures and possibly a bridge or overpass. The atmosphere is hazy, likely due to pollution or mist.

中文

日落或日出时分的城市景观,太阳在橙色天空中呈现一个明亮的光点。天际线布满高楼大厦,前景是建筑物和可能的立交桥或高架桥的剪影。大气朦胧,可能是雾霾或薄雾所致。
Harman Switch Azure (FF)

English

A park or temple area at dusk, featuring two traditional Chinese pagodas in the background. The sky is orange-pink, suggesting sunset. Leafless trees line a paved path, and the area is surrounded by low bushes and greenery. The scene is calm and serene, with no people visible.

Trump’s likely casus belli for an attack on Iran
– which would be the largest US intervention since the Iraq war
– is fraught with contradictions,
and his top advisers have been left to cover for him as the White House makes the case for intervention.
In his State of the Union address this week, Trump alleged that Iran posed a direct threat to the US
and that the country was “working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America”.

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:

Content warning:

I was told today that "capitalism" or, more accurately, German "Kapitalismus" is a leftist "Kampfbegriff", essentially an idiological term to influence public opinion, as I understand it.
I have never even thought about capitalism as something other than a normal word meaning a specific thing. Of course, people have different attitudes towards capitalism itself. Left-leaning people would regard it as negative.

The video then pans to the left where there's an identical looking cat sitting by the window, staring directly at the human filming. The cat moves it's head slightly up as if signaling to the person that it knows... It knows...

The rains lifted houses and cars, inundated farms, swept through grocery stores and left a thick layer of mud in streets, homes and ga…

Two attempts to simply extrapolate the brightness of #Kreutz comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) from what happened in the past few weeks, from all visual observations reported to COBS (left) and from all CCD observations of the past month which would have the brightness climb a bit faster. But as the previous post in the thread has shown even in the geometrically preferred southern hemisphere MAPS is lost in twilight from about March 30 to April 7 - and even in the optimistic model the comet has reached only 6th magnitude when it is lost and is down again to 5th when it is recovered: unless something drastic would happen *all* hope for an interesting show rests on a possible post-perihelion dust tail. Good luck ...

A bona fide financial crisis has not broken out since the US housing meltdown of 2007.
Even the Covid pandemic and subsequent upsurge in inflation didn’t lead to financial upheaval.
The jitters produced by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in 2023 were soon forgotten.
Given this stability, it might take some effort to convince financial markets that another big one is around the corner.
But it is.
