For a decade, Donald Trump’s rallies were intertwined with his political identity.
His big crowds were how he first got the media and the Republican Party to take him seriously,
and they provided real-time feedback.
Those who followed him closely could watch his positions take shape from one rally to the next
—an offhand comment that got a strong reaction would become a talking point at the next rally,
and then a core part of his pitch.
And he took notic…

Good Morning #Canada
On this day in 2012 Leonard Cohen releases "Old Ideas", an album that becomes No.1 in 10 countries. It easy to forget just how big an impact Cohen made in music from the late 60s through to this album. Many fans were introduced to his music via his song "Hallelujah". Cohen first released it on his 1984 album Various Positions, though it gained massive popularity through covers by artists like Jeff Buckley and K.D. Lang. He had an incredible journey, starting as a poet, enjoying stardom in the 70s, retiring to a monastery in the 90s, and having to tour later in life to rebuild his fortune after suffering embezzlement by his agent.

I am being a bit cheeky, but I really do think this is a powerful psychological force that shapes orgs far more than we realize: it can be emotionally damaging to have people tell you “no” or question your ideas, and leadership means getting that •all the time•. People in management / executive positions — who are in fact very much people, all too human — will go to great lengths to protect their own psyches from the injury of pushback.
This is a •powerful• force in orgs.

Today I've figured out how to reply when another couch philosopher tells you that obviously "there are job offers, it's just people who are too lazy to work". You just ask them "then why aren't you changing jobs?"
Free market is clear on this: if the supply of job positions exceeds demand, wages rise. And if employers lack employees, then they're ready to pay more, so you benefit from changing jobs! Isn't capitalism just great?

Pressure on Senators •is working•. Previously head-in-sand centrist Senators are actually coming out to vote against ICE funding. Their positions are still weak and insufficient, and more need to cave to pressure — but they are visibly buckling.
Again, we should not and must not wait on elected officials to save us — they will not — but we can and should deploy pressure on them as a strategic tool in moments when that can be useful.
Now is such a moment. KEEP IT UP.

Hi, I'm Thomas. Back in 2005 or so I've practically invented in-browser animations with HTML elements.
PLEASE DO NOT ANIMATE USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS FOR NO REASON.
Do not animate icons, change positions of buttons, do "fun liquid glass animations"; definitely under no circumstances move in or fade in whole blocks of text (unless your design goal is that you want people looking at your website to become nauseous).
Only use animation when it's helpful to the user—for example, when they need to pay extra attention to something because there's a risk of data loss or to pass the time while showing that something is going on when there's a process which takes a bit longer.

Abstract: In the maintenance of optical fiber networks, there is a growing demand for high-precision measurement of optical loss distribution and fault locations over long distances. In this study, we propose an OCDR method incorporating periodic pseudo-random modulation (PPRM), and demonstrate that it enables the acquisition of loss distribution based on Rayleigh scattering and the positions of reflection points in an approximately 100-km optical fiber, with a spatial resolution of about 19 cm and a measurement time of about 20 seconds.

Just finished "The Word for World is Forest" by Ursula K. Le Guin. Can't believe I didn't read this one earlier, and this strengthens my resolve to finish off the rest of her stuff I have yet to read sooner. I think it benefits somewhat from having read it after "Four Ways to Forgiveness" which gives more of the Hainish context. Certainly none of the blurbs I had read about it did it any measure of justice, which is one reason I hadn't prioritized it. More than being about colonization, it's about a solution to the paradox of tolerance, and both the price and imperfections of that solution. As usual with Le Guin's science fiction, it's a rich companion to anarchist thought.
I think the typical objection to seeing it as an answer to the warlord question would be that it serendipitously positions the indigenous population with more power and a less ruthless opponent than in the imagined scenario, and it uses the League of Worlds as a sort of deus ex machina to foreclose further retribution. Ultimately that's why I think it's more about the paradox of tolerance than anything else, but I also think in regards to the warlord problem that we are too quick to underestimate just how numerous and enthusiastic the opponents of a warlord might be, and to overestimate the strength of technological weapons wielded by frail (and psychologically unarmored) humans.
In any case, Le Guin gives this book's alien humans yet another fascinatingly credible capability, and getting to see the introduction of ansible technology with all its implications is pretty cool too. Maybe not

ICE is really hoping this whole town blows, trying to make it happen.
I think they underestimate us. The Twin Cities have layers of care and community these pathetic little people can’t even begin to imagine.
I’m still worried. They’re going to drag us through hell trying to make things explode. And folks in positions of leadership here damn well better make sure the folks on the streets believe that somebody’s doing something.

Content warning: UKPol - Green Party Broadcast
Run Zack Run!
Glad to see lots of people liking and sharing the Green Party England&Wales broadcast this week. It's striking.
Hope it's happening in the corporate spaces too, though presumably the capitalist leaders there suppress it with their algorithms.
Zack is in general doing such a great job of speaking my mind really it's unreal.
All the other leaders just seem dazed and confused, trying hard to maintain the status quo, ensure that capital power persists and they don't offend their corporate donors.
Or worse, just blaming the poor and the helpless and threatening that hurting people will solve the problems England and Wales face (it won't).
Here's hoping it has some impact and the Green Party make huge progress because the country seems likely to just get worse and worse under any of the other party's policies and positions.

Guess 4 was a throw away word to get some letter positions. Totally a waste of effort. Left me more confused then when i started. I wound up getting the clue from one of my starter words and was able to piece it together. #Wordle

Dr Susan Monarez, the former director of the CDC, will lead California’s new public health initiative, the Public Health Network Innovation Exchange (PHNIX).

Many of us are in @… and @… ’s situation here: plastics are collected for recycling, but few/none enter the recycling stream. In that situation:
- Robin’s response is the first and best one: use less.
- In addition, I’d advocate for (1) continuing to recycle what you can’t avoid using and (2) give that city gov endless headaches about their failure to recycle. Show there’s demand for recyclability, get whatever tiny fraction does get recycled out of the waste stream, •and• make headaches for people in positions of power for plastic failing to live up to that demand.
I would •not• just stop recycling. Don’t just give up. My 2¢.

Content warning: Advent of Code Day 11
Day 11 of #AdventOfCode is a classical graph problem like we're used to from previous years.
Unlike previously, I immediately thought of checking what the graph looked like with a visualization tool. Luckily, `petgraph` allows to export a graphviz file which can be then used to visualize the nodes and edges.
From that, it was clear that a few nodes were acting as "bridges" between largers subnets of nodes with no particular arrangement besides being directed towards the next "bridge" layer. Those bridge layers comprised 4 to 5 nodes in my input, and were the only ones with more than 6 incoming edges, so I used that as my filter criterion.
To gather them, I sorted the graph in topological order and chunked them by their position offset compared to the previous node. When doing this, all the nodes from a bridge layer end up being at most 20 positions away from the previous node in the sorted list.
Finally, I progressed through each subnet, collecting information about how many paths lead to each one of the end layer's nodes. By multiplying with all the paths leading to each start layer's node, we get the overall total number of paths.

Coastal First Nations group (comprising multiple First Nations on the North Coast of BC) tell the Prime Minister to shove it...
“We also made our positions very clear and reiterated those positions around our stance regarding the oil pipeline, and that has not changed.”
OK, not exactly that undiplomatic, but I'm sure the feeling is the same in Alberta. Thank you to these First Nations for having the decency and good sense to stick to their guns.
There will be no more pipelines. None. Ever, in BC. That is the way it must be.

Good Morning #Canada
On the eve of #RemembranceDay, it's fitting that we wish a ##HappyBirthday to Charles Cecil Ingersoll Merritt, who was born on this day in 1908. Merritt was the first Canadian recipient of the Victoria Cross in #WWII, the highest award for bravery among troops of the British Empire. He was also the son of Captain Cecil Mack Merritt, who was killed in the Second Battle of Ypres on April 23rd, 1915. Merritt commanded The South Saskatchewan Regiment, Canadian Army, (Canadian Infantry Corps), and led his regiment at the failed Dieppe Raid on August 19th, 1942. He led multiple charges against fortified positions, was wounded twice, and stayed on the beach to defend his troops as they were withdrawn. He was captured by the Germans and remained a prisoner until the end of the war.
