Debates on the left are typically framed as a division between moderates and progressives,
with the two sides wrestling over how best to form a governing coalition.
Yet, in many ways, this divide obscures a much bigger fault line:
-- the class divide.
The fact is, many of the Democratic party’s ideological factions consist almost exclusively of college-educated professionals.
As a result, the priorities of this class tend to dominate the party’s appeals.

It's so confusing choosing sides in the heat of the moment,
just to see if it's real,
Oooh, it's so erotic having you tell me how it should feel,
But I'm avoiding all the hard cold facts that I got to face,
So ask me just one question when this magic night is through,
Could it have been just anyone or did it have to be you?

Hoping to get one populated front side tomorrow then do firmware dev over the week.

The Impact of Circumgalactic Rotation on Ly$\alpha$ Radiative Transfer
Hee-Gyeong Kym, Seok-Jun Chang, Max Gronke, Kwang-Il Seon
https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.08396 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2609.08396 https://arxiv.org/html/2609.08396
arXiv:2609.08396v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Hydrogen Lyman-alpha (Ly$\alpha$) is a prominent emission line from the circumgalactic medium (CGM). Due to its resonant nature, Ly$\alpha$ carries imprints of the physical properties and kinematics of the cold CGM. In particular, CGM rotation can modify the Ly$\alpha$ peak separation, which is often interpreted as a tracer of H I column density. We present 3D Monte Carlo Ly$\alpha$ radiative-transfer simulations in a CGM-like rotating medium and examine how the emergent spectra depend on rotational velocity ($V_{\rm rot}$), H I column density ($N_{\rm HI}$), viewing angle, clumpiness, and intrinsic source width. We find that rotation broadens the integrated spectra and increases the peak separation, with the strongest viewing-angle dependence when rotational Doppler shifts dominate over frequency diffusion. At high $N_{\rm HI}$, numerous scatterings reduce the sensitivity of integrated spectra to rotation, producing a degeneracy between $V_{\rm rot}$ and $N_{\rm HI}$. Consequently, Ly$\alpha$ peak separation alone can overestimate $N_{\rm HI}$ in a rotating medium. Spatially resolved halo spectra provide a clearer diagnostic: opposite sides of the rotating medium show systematic redshifted and blueshifted asymmetries associated with the line-of-sight velocity of the last-scattering gas. Such rotation-driven signatures can also contribute to velocity-map patterns often interpreted in terms of inflow or outflow, highlighting the need to consider rotation in spatially resolved Ly$\alpha$ observations. We further show that the main signatures persist in simple clumpy media, while the halo signatures are largely insensitive to the intrinsic source width. Our results demonstrate that spatially resolved Ly$\alpha$ observation is essential for disentangling CGM rotation from radiative-transfer effects.

and other similar cases have already been filed.
