I consider these kinds of events to be nearly useless symbolism, preaching to the choir.
I do accept that these events are useful as means to meet others, but one should not expect these events to have even the slightest impact on the maga/white-nationalist/musk-ites... Nor do I think they have much impact on those who are in "the middle" and do not particularly engage in politics.

For years, execs and managers were able to get away with pretending to do some kind of job - and #AI has greatly accelerated their ability to pretend.
Unfortunately, that led to garbage strategy and garbage execution. The quality of #UX suffered. The stability, performance, and security of code degraded…

"As a political force, the Labour left is finished. The tactic of entryism – entering the Labour party and changing it – is finished too."
"..a string of local council victories next year would pave the way for an unprecedented challenge to #Labour – not from the right, as the party has always had to fight, but from its radical flank. And this new movement could take parts of Lab…

Spent a little while photographing an AKL-PT5 production sample to get some beauty shots for the Digikey page etc when I start making them in volume.
I'll probably downsample... The SEL90M28G macro lens did perhaps too good a job. You can see every little dust speck here lol.

“We got to be honest in what happened, because losing elections has consequences,”
said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris’ running mate,
during a rousing speech Saturday afternoon.
“We’re in this mess because some of it’s our own doing. … None of us can afford to shy away from having hard conversations about what it’s going to take to win elections.”
Walz, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, said Democrats don’t need to retreat from their ideals,
such as pro…

Interesting piece on the #Arctic #SeaIce and it's (improving) representation in global climate models by Gavin Schmidt over on @realclimate, I'm not entirely sure all of the improvement is for the right reasons, there are probably compensating biases, it would be interesting to see if the models get the regional signal correct in different parts of the Arctic, but overall I agree with this piece, there have been some big steps forward in global models, the regional level is often not very well represented though.

The pink tax is the extra price women pay for products that are also marketed to men
— think shampoo or clothing.
Back in 2015, the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs found that across five industries, women were paying more for everyday products than men:
7 percent more for toys and accessories
8 percent more for adult clothing
13 percent more for personal care products
Although recent evidence suggests that the pink tax doesn’t apply to every pro…
