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.
The SF candidate’s big transfer moments came from Steenson and Hutch.

It’s Primary Eve in New York.
On the ballot on Tuesday?
A series of raucous Democratic contests with the potential to radically reshape New York City’s congressional delegation and push it further to the left.
Plus, a Democratic race to challenge Representative Mike Lawler,
a vulnerable Republican incumbent who holds a Hudson Valley-area seat that Democrats are desperate to flip.
But here we will focus largely on the New York City primaries,

Will New York Swing Further to the Left? Here’s a Preview of Tuesday’s Primaries.
The city’s high-drama, high-spending primaries will offer clues of progressive momentum and Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s influence.

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.

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.

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

The image displays a Zoom user interface featuring a time display (6:50 AM, Sunday, May 24) on the left, with icons for a new meeting, joining a meeting, scheduling, sharing a screen, and notes. The right side shows an AI Companion panel with a prompt box at the bottom and different boxes offering ideas for what to ask such as scheduling or coordinating meetings.

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.

(latest 8x6" Kallitype print from last night)
This mountain is the tallest peak in the Tannheimer Alps, here seen from a narrow ridge path in the north east. 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...)

Phone picture of a 8x6" kallitype print of a large mountain peak partially shrouded in clouds forming around it. In the foreground is a narrow ridge with a very similar profile as the peak. A small group of low-growth trees next to it and a large valley running down and opening up from the pass on the left. Dark moody sky.

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.

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.

Limit the number of artist photo uploads
As long as multiple artists share the same page then photo battles are always going to part of LastFM but, more and more, I'm seeing people simply flood the photo section with dozens of images in an attempt to drown out any possible alternatives. I propose limiting users to ONE image upload per artist. Pages don't need 100+ images, all uploaded by the same 2-3 people.
