It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history.
She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

Disturbing news out of Auburn University, where the admin is pressuring professors to sign a statement saying they're complying with an "anti-DEI" law and TPUSA is holding a rally and trying to record classes.
I hear faculty are terrified to sign, worried this is a pretense for mass firings.

The popular appeal of Listers (the film on extreme birdwatching) and the Harper’s Goon Squad essay lies largely in their deeply ethnographic nature (& ethnography done right). Too much long-form journalism has become allergic to this form and to its own peril.

This is brutal, and Amazon is making *$86 BILLION* this year — with $20 billion of that in profit. This may well be the first domino that reveals what so many already know, which is that everyone but the wealthy are already in a recession. www.reuters.com/business/wor...
Exclusive: Amazon targets as many as 30,000 corporate job cuts, sources say

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

stating the obvious but if the democrats damaged the white house to build a gaudy oligarch dance room (in the middle of a government shutdown hurting people's livelihoods, no less) it would be a two month relentless news cycle

The part that drives me crazy is I think Democrats (US perspective) do a disservice to themselves if they force all MAHA curious people to the GOP. Which they do if they completely write off mold, long COVID, Lyme, etc. Outliers like you (and me and Biella) won’t make up for that.
