The FPbase spectra viewer just had it's biggest software refactor in 6 years. It *should* be largely invisible to the end user (hopefully just faster and less buggy). Please let me know if you find any issues as you use it!

The mindset of zero-sum thinking.
"To understand America today, study the zero-sum mindset." My piece in @theeconomistevents.bsky.social this week on how zero-sum thinking arises and why it matters so much for policy and politics. Based on our research at the Social Economics Lab. www.economist.com/by-invitatio...

Yes, that is so sad! ...and in her national team, she does not have a strong team who can effectively help her. She fights alone in the front with no team mates.
Her cyclocross performance shows how strong and capable she is to win medals.
She must be given a chance, else a wasted talent indeed.
Blanka Vas is one of the most badly used riders in cycling.

When she rides for her nation at international championships 🌈🎖️ she sprints for the medals against the best in the World.

But in her team, she's a domestique for 90+ % of the races.

A waste of talent.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

I really like Gov. Tim Walz. I hope he runs for President. I believe he would be an excellent coach in empathy and humility for the entire world. One who could bring back humanity and peace.
Goodbye, my friend.
