Across the country, Republican lawmakers have been working to undermine or altogether undo the will of the voters -- by making it harder to pass amendments and laws through citizen-led initiatives.
In #Missouri, the 2025 legislative session was dominated by Republican lawmakers trying to reverse two major measures that voters had put on the ballot and approved just months before;

Red State Voters Approved Progressive Measures. GOP Lawmakers Are Trying to Undermine Them.
In the wake of ballot measures that increased abortion access and improved sick leave for workers, a coordinated effort is unfolding across the country to restrict direct democracy — and shift power to partisan legislatures.

Was going to one bar but it turned out to be karaoke night so hard pass.
Walked on, past a bar called “The Eccentric“, and obviously I had to check it out. I am after all something of an eccentric myself, I hope.
The name is not misleading. You enter down a few steps into what looks like their liquor storage. The bar has more bottles of booze than I have ever seen in any bar. Apparently in fairly random order, but I am sure they have a very sophisticated system. Only customer so …

Calamus 18 City of my walks and joys!
A celebration of Manhattan. I love Whitman's embrace of cities as being just as vital as nature unspoiled. It reflects the humanist aspect of his joy in the world, not a Thoreau-like rejection of civilization.
I also love that Whitman is writing about cruising the streets, making eye contact with potential lovers, celebrating offerings of love.
as I pass, O Manhattan! your frequent and swift flash of eyes offering me love
Offering me the response of my own—these repay me,
Lovers, continual lovers, only repay me.
Whitman punched up the first line in later editions, escalating to "City of orgies, walks and joys!"

Bad pass by Alex Roldan leads to a goal? 🫤 This is not my surprised face.

Its good to have many tests in your R package, but it can be a pain to debug some failing tests when it happens. {lazytest} for the rescue: only rerun the failing tests, until they pass: #RStats

Enantiosensitive locking of photoelectron spin and cation orientation
When electrons pass through chiral molecules, their transmission is strongly influenced by the orientation of their spin: molecules with opposite handedness preferentially transmit electrons with oppositely aligned spins. The underlying nature of this striking phenomenon, known as chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS), remains controversial: its observed strength far surpasses predictions based on the typically weak spin-orbit interaction. A significant fraction of CISS phenomena are driven…

Single-File Diffusion of Active Brownian Particles
Single-file diffusion (SFD) is a key mechanism underlying transport phenomena in confined physical and biological systems. In a typical SFD process, microscopic particles are restricted to moving in a narrow channel where they cannot pass one another, resulting in constrained motion and anomalous long-time diffusion. In this study, we use Brownian dynamics simulations and analytical theory to investigate the SFD of athermal active Brownian particles (ABPs), a minimal model of active colloids. B…

Who Bears the Cost? High-Frequency Evidence on Minimum Wage Effects and Amenity Pass-Through in Spot Labor Markets
This paper provides causal evidence on the short-run effects of minimum wage hikes in a spot labor market, using confidential contract-level data from Timee, a Japanese job-matching platform. Leveraging high-frequency variation and a bin-level difference-in-differences design, we find a 2 percentage point decline in employment within affected wage bins, with losses concentrated below the new threshold. Transportation reimbursement--a flexible nonwage amenity--remains largely unchanged, indicati…

Densetsu no Stafy: spin spin spin
When renewing my subscription to Nintendo Online it was only marginally more to upgrade to the expansion pass, which has given my sons access to the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, will provide me with upgrades for Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch 2, and also gives me access to the N64, GBA and MD libraries. Tempted as I was to immediately start playing through Streets of Rage 2 again, I instead had a look for anything new and interesting.

Tempted by a challenge, but the easiest, safest, very likely most sensible thing is to do nothing and let the temptation pass.
… But if the gamble is taken and it pays off … ?

The next Tech Pizza Monday happens on the first Monday of the month, so you know what that means! That's right: Sticker Club! Bring your stickers and we will exchange them! Follow your heart and trade 1 for 1, or take one and promise to pass it along to a friend. As usual, the pizza is real, and we encourage hardware demos, especially if they're free and open. (The hardware, we mean.) April 7th, 6 PM, Victory Cafe, 440 Bloor St. W. Meet us at the sign!

Having fun exploring Atomfall - not really following main quest at all yet - but it's hilarious to me that this game was day one on Game Pass yet totally breaks under Quick Resume... I can't imagine how that snuck past Xbox testing.

This gives me hope in humanity.
Also gives me hope that if we got this much signatures (like 60% I think?) in just two days maybe we can still get the Stop Killing Games thing to pass too.
