I think every Democrat running for Congress has sent me a spam text asking for money. Just since the start of the month. That's not counting the ones that do throughout the year.
I support y'all, I want the GOP to lose big, but holy hell, how is text spam helping your cause??? Does anyone actually give you money that way? I sure as hell won't.

This is incredibly important.
Computers (writ large) have historically been tools that help humans solve problems which do not intrinsically demand computers but need complex computation (possibly including text transformation!) which humans cannot do as well or as fast.
The fact that we have grown a subculture of people who only really know computers has led to the situation where “computer-people” disregard other issues & the concerns of everyone else.

Zurbaršn was definitely a bit bonkers. Genius, sure, but woa, some of the symbolism is out there! The cherub heads with wings are a recurring theme, hovering with holy payloads. Check out the alt text for all the details.
#art #NationalGallery

Saint Margaret of Antioch
Francisco de Zurbarán
about 1630-4

The story of Saint Margaret tells how she emerged unscathed after being swallowed by a dragon. Zurbarán depicts the unruffled saint in luxurious shepherd's dress, with a carefully drawn fabric saddlebag sling over her arm, and the dragon in the shadows, subdued behind her. Her expression says "yeah what about it?"
The Immaculate Conception
Francisco de Zurbarán
1632

Mary appears standing on five cherubim (round heads with wings, no more!) occupying a half moon. She is wearing a necklace with the anagram A(ve) M(aria), while a host of stars and angels emerge from the clouds in the halo around her head. Two young students pray on either side below her.
The Vision of Saint Alonso Rodríguez
Francisco de Zurbarán
1630

Alonso Rodríguez was an early proponent of venerating the hearts of Christ and the Virgin Mary - seen here emitting rays of light that zap the poor saint right in the chest. He looks upwards, surprised and enraptured. Of course, Jesus and Mary are hovering on little islands of cherub heads with wings, as if the rest of the painting were not bonkers enough.

Mandatory cycle helmet laws just mean less cycling and an overall decline in health for the population.

The report also found the article “pays disproportionate attention to the possibility that introduction of corona measures and vaccination might have caused excess mortality, whilst largely ignoring alternative explanations” and “misleadingly and…
Mostert argued governments and media implemented fear and propaganda tactics to reduce “tolerance for reason and dissenting voices” during the pandemic and claimed the investigation into her paper violated academic freedom and constituted censorship.
Also in her testimony, Mostert said she proposed a revision to the published paper that “included a section on vaccine effectiveness in reducing mortality,” but the suggestion was “ignored by the journal.” She also claimed the original section on containment measures and vaccines was “much shorter in the original version of the paper,” but reviewers “asked us to either delete the text or provide more evidence. As there is evidence available, we included it.”

This is a Duolingo streak screen with a dark teal background. In the center is the app's flame mascot — an orange flame icon with a lighter yellow teardrop shape inside it, sitting on an olive-green shadow/base, with a small dot above it. Below the flame, "1461" is displayed in large bold yellow numerals, and underneath that reads "day streak" in smaller yellow text.

1461 days works out to exactly four years (including one leap day).

My fellow Mastodonians, can we all give this idea a little bit of praise, please?

A cartoon illustration of a yellow elephant centered on a solid yellow background. The top of the elephant's head is formed by the nozzle and ridged cap of a squeeze bottle. Yellow liquid splashes out from the end of the elephant's trunk in several droplets. The elephant features large ears, ears, a small tail, and an open-mouthed smile. Below the figure, the text "mustardon" appears in white lowercase letters with a dark brown outline.

AI robots are roaming L.A. grocery store aisles.
Shoppers and workers are worried
On a Wednesday afternoon at Ralphs on Pico Boulevard,
a skinny, six-foot-tall tower of sensors rolled through the aisles.
It made low beeping noises, its lights flickering purple and green.
A small screen on the top of the tower had two blinking eyes and a small line of text. “Hi, I’m Tally!"
Other retailers in Los Angeles have also introduced Tally to their aisles,

Pro tip:
If you know your supervisor had a cataract surgery already and you can easily spot the remaining thickness of the lenses in her glasses, it’s maybe not the brightest idea to have visualizations in pastel colors with 0.25 pt lines and labels in 3 pt in the draft of your thesis. Maybe.

This base is covered in intricate, gold-colored patterns.

Global Analysis: An Introduction to Nonlinear Analysis and Its Variational Methods on Riemannian Manifolds
Carlos Daniel Vel\'azquez-Mendoza, Mar\'ia de los \'Angeles Sandoval-Romero, Romulo Diaz Carlos
arxiv.org/abs/2609.14580 arxiv.org/pdf/2609.14580 arxiv.org/html/2609.14580
arXiv:2609.14580v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This monograph develops an introduction to global analysis centered on the interaction between differential geometry, functional analysis, partial differential equations, and variational methods on Riemannian manifolds. Beginning with smooth and Riemannian geometry, it develops Sobolev spaces, distributions, interpolation and fractional regularity, differential and pseudodifferential operators on vector bundles, elliptic theory, heat methods, bounded geometry, and trace theorems. It then treats Fredholm and index theory, culminating in the Atiyah--Singer index theorem, followed by geometric evolution equations and Ricci flow, infinite-dimensional geometry on Banach and Hilbert manifolds, and variational methods including the direct method, Palais--Smale theory, deformation arguments, the mountain pass theorem, and the Nehari method. Particular emphasis is placed on explicit proofs, the passage from local Euclidean estimates to intrinsic global statements, and the precise geometric hypotheses required in compact, noncompact, and boundary settings. The text is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as readers approaching global analysis from geometry or differential equations.

Keith Jarrett, "The Köln Concert" (ECM 1064/65) — the classic minimal ECM design: cream background, plain black text with the title, and a black-and-white photo of Jarrett in profile, head bowed and absorbed at the piano, wearing a patterned-cuff shirt.

ALT by Claude
Miles Davis, "Miles Ahead" (Columbia CL 1041, this pressing electronically rechanneled for stereo, CS 8633) — orchestra under Gil Evans, "Miles Davis + 19" noted on the cover. Photo shows Miles mid-performance on trumpet, close-up and intense. The jacket has visible wear — soft/worn corners and edges, some scuffing on the cardboard.

ALT by Claude
Frank Sinatra, "Put Your Dreams Away" (Columbia CL 1136) — a striking close-up black-and-white/sepia-toned profile shot of Sinatra's face in dramatic side lighting, title in orange/pink text at the top. There's an ownership sticker in the corner reading "I belong to Ronald E. Smith" with an address — a nice bit of provenance from a former owner. Cover shows general age wear (scuffs, some corner softening).

We’re aiming to launch billboards across California to galvanize support for the Billionaire Tax.
The problem? Right now, we don’t have the funds in our budget for billboards.
But here’s the good news:
A donor has agreed to match every single donation up to $50,000 to get these billboards launched.
That means when you donate $25 today, your donation has the power of $50.
Are you in? >>

A billboard featuring a graphic of a roaring bear, with the text 
"TAX THE ULTRA-RICH NOW" prominently displayed. 

It includes a call to vote for propositions 40 and 3, 
and advises against propositions 41 and 42.
