Vote Left Transfer Left.
Having a cup of tea and a chat together to see how we can continue collaboration for the Galway West By-election like we did on Catherine Connolly's presidential election.
The momentum built during Catherine's campaign will live on. We must keep this as a left seat. And with a Vote Left Transfer Left campaign, we think that can be a reality.

6 candidates from the Galway West by-election sitting down at a table together. From left to right, Mark Lohan (SF), Míde Níc Fhionnlaoich (SocDems), Niall Murphy (Greens), Denman Rooke (PBP), Sheila Garrity (Ind), Helen Ogbu (Lab).

Starting a day with severe depression is a matter of looking at a pile of problems all of which seem insuperable, picking one, breaking it into smaller problems which still seem insuperable, tackling them one by one slowly. 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.

I've got the growing feeling that DevOps/SRE Microservices was a surefire way to slow down any business almost to a halt.
If you followed that route you likely have many small teams that need to coordinate with each other for every change you make. Nobody can make decisions or talk authoritative on overall things anymore because everything has been decomposed and shifted left to the poor developer doing everything now.

Next to the table, a few boxes are stacked with a 3D printer looking out of the top one. On the right wall there are wooden component drawers. On the wall behind the lab table there are blankets covering the windows. Amazingly, barely anything is lying around on the floor and only four boxes are visible in the picture.

I'd forgotten Slow Streets used to have not just the "local traffic only" sign, but "road closed to through traffic" as well. Both gone now. Slow Streets got so watered down. (2022 photo)

Tree-lined residential street with a row of three posts at the entrance, extending from the right side about 1/3 across the roadway. From left to right, a flex post, a "local traffic only" sign with pedestrian and bicycle icons against a bright yellow background, and a "Slow Streets" sign with icons for various types of pedestrians and nonmotorized wheeled implements. On the sidewalk, above a diamond sign warning of speed humps ahead, a square sign with a white background says "road closed to t…

Metadata includes names, genders, and roles (suspects, victims, and/or witnesses).

Some #LeftWordle enhancements:
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 the header from Left-Wordle. Arrow pointing to gear Icon - click that to get to the settings (preferences) screen
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

“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.

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.

as the city of nearly 103,000 markets itself as Los Angeles’s sports hub.
Major streets are freshly paved and lined with new digital billboards that remind Arnold of the contours of the World Cup trophy.

This wasn’t a headline I expected to read, but it kinda makes sense. Connie Chan has been milquetoast in her criticism of Israel compared to Saikat. She supports the Block the Bombs Act, but conspicuously left open the option of supporting so-called “defensive” aid like Iron Dome. Makes sense AIPAC would want the general election to be her and Wiener, not Saikat and Wiener.
