Katie Wilson elected Seattle’s next mayor
Wilson took a 1,976-vote lead over Bruce Harrell. With a maximum of 1,320 ballots remaining, it is mathematically impossible for Harrell to catch up.

What to expect:
1) The show continues overnight
2) There’s a chance that tomorrow night’s northern lights show is even better than tonight’s (more below).

New Colorado Sun article: Will adding more lanes fix I-270 congestion? CDOT’s favored fix will test its new mission, opponents say.

This $725M project is one of several costly highway expansions CDOT’s considering in the upcoming 10 year plan.

I'm forgiving myself for getting a D+ in Linear Algebra in college
Seconded: it's really hard to fetishise maths after having studied Linear Algebra in any real depth. Like, don't get me wrong, but the mindset you need to cultivate to get good at it is not one that's suited to success in the modern world.
indeed, *actually* knowing a lot of math instead of just pretending that you do seems to insulate many people from Math Fetishization Syndrome

it's really disturbing how @bsky.app can suspend people for no apparent reason with no apparent recourse. I thought this platform was moving beyond that kind of system
