Shelley Caroll (and likely other Toronto councillors) are joining Doug Ford on asking for an injunction the Al Quds Day protests and linking it to acts of violence against synagogues.
Is there anything out there showing us that the two are related?
I'm happy to be proven wrong, I just don't see the connection.

I have a common problem with several work-related projects. After quite a bit of pondering, I believe I have found the solution in my archives - a bash script linking a few very cool utilities that I wrote 20 years ago in the heady days of Egressive. Probably took weeks to get it right (it automates a business-critical backup process). I'm very chuffed my archives are still with me. You can never tell when they might come in handy. This will likely save days of work.

So a Replyguy just replied with "linking directly to the article to avoid Bluesky shit" to my post.
Dude, the "Bluesky shit" is the thread by a scientist I was linking to specifically because it destroyed the stupid lies in the article you linked to.
Maybe try reading the "Bluesky shit" first before hitting the reply button, idk.

There are investigations linking specific no-name Twitter accounts with less than 30 followers as the source of Musk's and Trump's disinformed beliefs. We are able to trace Trump's conspiracy beliefs of the gold being stolen in Fort Knox to just some random account on Twitter claiming it.
Whoever runs that account has more influence than you. You don't even need Russia or China to plant disinformation on a mass-scale, apparently all it takes is some Twitter Account.
I keep seeing #HamRadio antennas using all sort of huge devices to create links between band segments. Alligator clips. Wago blocks. Mueller clips. Mostly with the antenna wire tied to something stiff that makes it hard to roll up neatly, rather than using flexible cord. I keep looking for and not finding examples of my approach to linking.
My solution is so simple, neat, and tidy…

Requests are being spread on fediverse to use hashtags not inline but at the end, because screen readers. I am aiming for accessibility.
At the same time, I like using hypertext in full and not as a digital copy of printed materials, and highly value terms being links when first used, not with the main expectation that they are followed, but for clarification (eg. of definitions) and semantic linking.
Can and should I indicate such "soft" (non-intrusive) links in HTML?
I'm looking at a bunch of open clipart icons and some of them have straightforward licenses like CC or public domain.
But others are using more software-oriented licenses like GPL or LGPL. I'm... not entirely sure how that is supposed to work.
If I load a GPL'd icon PNG into my application is that "dynamic linking" in a way that would require my entire application to be GPL? There's no code involved, no symbol manipulation, and the icon isn't compile…
Modular interpretation of the Weil-Petersson metric asymptotics for abelian varieties

Abstract: As a first step towards a refined description of the asymptotic of the Weil-Petersson metric on the moduli space of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds we investigate the concrete case of abelian varieties by linking such asymptotic with the multi-scale collapsing limits of the parametrized flat tori, as explicitly classified by Odaka.

An analytical model of Disequilibrium and decentralized productive Exploration

Abstract: This paper studies the economic role of persistent dispersion in allocations across agents. We develop a tractable model in which firms allocate resources under imperfect information and behavioral updating, generating sustained heterogeneity in beliefs and actions. While dispersion induces static misallocation, it also fosters decentralized experimentation, allowing the economy to explore a broader set of productive opportunities. We show that the economy converges to a stationary equilibrium with strictly positive dispersion and that, under plausible conditions, such disequilibrium can dominate the perfectly coordinated benchmark. The model provides a novel interpretation of observed dispersion in productivity and returns as reflecting both inefficiency and productive exploration. It also yields testable predictions linking dispersion to growth and innovation dynamics.

A tautological continuous field of Roe bimodules

Abstract: We generalize the notion of a continuous field of C*-algebras to that of Hilbert C*-bimodules. Given a partially ordered set $P$ and a monotonically non-decreasing family of ternary rings of operators (TROs) assigned to the points of $P$, we equip $P$ with a certain zero-dimensional Hausdorff topology and use a certain compactification $\gamma P$ to get the base space for a continuous field of Hilbert C*-bimodules over $\gamma P$.
As a motivating example, we consider the set $D(X,Y)$ of coarse equivalence classes of metrics on the disjoint union of two metric spaces, $X$ and $Y$. Each such class gives rise to a uniform Roe bimodule, a TRO linking the uniform Roe algebras of $X$ and $Y$. The resulting family of TROs is non-decreasing with respect to the natural partial order on $D(X,Y)$ and thus yields a tautological continuous field of Hilbert C*-bimodules over $\gamma D(X,Y)$.

$k$-graph algebras are iterated Cuntz-Pimsner algebras -- from the bottom up
Valentin Deaconu, Menev\c{s}e Ery\"uzl\"u Paulovicks, S. Kaliszewski, John Quigg

arXiv:2603.20923v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We introduce a new method of expressing a $k$-graph $C^*$-algebra as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. Kumjian, Pask, and Sims have done this directly, using a linking algebra approach and a $(k-1)$-graph algebra. This can be iterated downward. Our process, on the other hand, starts at the bottom, with Pimsner's theorem for graph algebras, and iterates upward. We actually work with product systems over $\mathbb N^k$, and the result for $k$-graphs is a special case. Our iteration step involves a ``decategorization'' of a recent theorem showing that the Cuntz-Pimsner construction is functorial at the level of ``enchilada categories''.
