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.

What a morning and long day it was last week! Was already out & about for 3 hours when I got to this place, earlier mostly taking hundreds of images of the nearby (~500m away) Breslauer Hut and vicinity during sunrise... The first large (and loud) group of people already got up at 4AM, getting ready for climbing Wildspitze, another group left an hour later, as did I. Maintenance/repair works on the hut continued at 08:30, taking lots more pictures to document, interviewin…

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.

Left exact monoidal localizations from tidy maps
Mathieu Anel, Georg Biedermann, Eric Finster, Andr\'e Joyal
arxiv.org/abs/2606.04263 arxiv.org/pdf/2606.04263 arxiv.org/html/2606.04263
arXiv:2606.04263v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We put Goodwillie's calculus of functors and Weiss' orthogonal calculus in a unified framework. We do so in two ways. On the one hand, the relevant categories are all symmetric monoidal and controlled by their compact objects. We introduce the notion of tidy map as a means to generate symmetric monoidal localizations in this setting. These localizations are always left exact. Then we show that both the Goodwillie and Weiss towers are generated by such maps. On the other hand, the relevant categories are also topoi, for which there is a general theory of completion towers of left exact localizations. We had shown in a previous work that the Goodwillie tower is an instance a such a tower. We show here that the Weiss tower is a completion tower as well, and therefore that the general theory applies to orthogonal calculus.

#art #painting

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…
Passenger Opportunity, 2023-24, Reworked 2026
A huge panelled work featuring verdant scenes on the right and urban on the left. Subjects included slavery - lines of slaves in irons on the right, and family and community on the left. The colours are vibrant acrylic. At the bottom are images of departure, arrival and farewells.
Miss Sylvia, 2011
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.

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.

After about two days, the toddler would walk up to Izzy and bend over so his face was close to Izzy and she would give him a kiss. When they left after four days, I think Izzy was sad to see him go. #DogsofMastodon

Tucker Carlson said he left the GOP because of the administration’s fervent support of Israel and the trajectory of the Iran war.
But he was vague about ideas for a third party’s platform, though he said he would not be a candidate himself.
Building a third party is not a new idea
— many have attempted to do it,
and third-party candidates do successfully run on local and national ballots.
It’s important work, proponents told NOTUS,
but gaining power outs…

I've painted the utility room! And myself a bit. Gone is sickly peach and in is a startlingly bright and fresh green. It wasn't my first choice but it's turned out to be exactly right. It feels like it brings the outdoors green inside, which is exactly what I'd hoped to achieve. Tails is exhausted from making so much fecking fuss at being kept out of the way. Sparks had the right idea and slept through it all under our bed. Pics show the lobby between the kitchen and the util…

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 …

The neoconservatives,
who dominated the Pentagon and the White House after 9/11
believed the US could use force to remake the Middle East,
and their project left us with two enduring concepts that still shape American military power and politics today:
creative chaos and strategic deception.
These are the intellectual doctrines of neoconservatism,
an ideology that bears constant re-examination.

these are currently in staging.left-wordle.com. They will make it to production hopefully by week’s end. I’ll announce here the intended cutover date / time for prod.

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

As soon as he left office in 2021, the vacancy sign turned on.
Memberships in his tacky golf resorts increase, as well as the fees, while he’s president.
After he leaves office, they drop off.
