His stroke was four days before the May primary, so the timing was impossible there, but he had until August to remove himself from the general election ballot and get replaced by the party.

The leaders of this initiative are Progressive Conservatives, and they seem to have a goal to wedge the governing United Conservative Party (formed by a recent merger between the PCs and further right Wildrose) in order to cause a split, purge the separatists, and revive the old PC Party.

It reminded me of this joke I saw on IG last week from Alistair Ogden, playing with (and critiquing) the idea that dietary restrictions and digestive issues are somehow woman-coded? We're exploring new frontiers in gender!

Bernie isn't admitting he is wrong *now*.

Here's an example that isn't coding-related: someone I know posted this graph, and I wondered if chatGPT would be able to be able to tell what was off about it. At first it critiqued cosmetic stuff, but when I reprompted it, it basically nailed the question: both what's wrong, and the likely cause.

Either like this or as a line chart would be actively good. Showing the sensitivity of your outcome to your design choices is good practice, and is pretty similar to a "here's how our RD estimates change with different bandwidth" chart in this Imbens/Kal paper

Unlikely to be him - someone named Tyler Robinson owned the house listed on the FEC form from 2019-2021, when our Tyler Robinson would have been 16-18.

Gallup had him in the 60s and 70s for most of the year, brief dip into the 50s when the economy fell off a cliff and Congress passed TARP. news.gallup.com/poll/116500/...

You suggested "the Jordanian model where they've hybridized policing and tribal blood feuds" for discussion, and then a few posts later you said that you had presented "best practices from peers that get better value for money”.

Turns out it's not exactly "data". The registration is real, but they're only *modelling* race, they don't know it.

You can actually guess race pretty accurately from name+location, but once you start slicing and dicing the results on the basis of your predictions...

Not just that, she also took a detour into saying that the future would see ethically-sourced cocaine, but not coffee or chocolate (or bananas).

Looks like this is a favour the government did to doctors, not a prohibition.

Streaming did perform a miracle in getting people to spend money on music again after piracy absolutely killed the recording industry, and a comparable or larger share of those revenues are actually going to rights-holders rather than middlemen.

La Presse in Montréal does something like that. They created an iPad app back in 2013, and it worked so well for them they switched away from paper entirely in 2016.

They licensed the tech to the Toronto Star, but it flopped and was abandoned there after two years.

Just look at the MTA's budget! 4.8B in farebox revenue in 2025.

If you think it costs more to collect fares than the amount collected, you have to think that 2/3 of payroll goes to fare collection and only 1/3 goes to operations. The math can't add up otherwise.

Jeffries was actually neutral-to-positive about Mamdani on the Sunday show he did, but people are focusing on the one gently-phrased bit of criticism - the sentences about "globalize the intifada" in the third screenshot.

They're an energy superpower, apparently. It looks like they and the Netherlands do a lot of the refining for the rest of Europe.

One of the top posts on r/france this morning:

“Is it just me, or is there a pro-AC propaganda campaign going on right now?

[…]

You might say it’s normal because it’s been hot, but it’s not like it’s even the worst heat wave we’ve had this century, and anyway it only lasted a few days.”

Disheartening to see the leader of the Greens attack her over it, too. It would be such a disaster for the French left to go into the next election with “ACs? Psh, we’ll cool cities by planting trees”.

(Translation:
France: going through a historic heat wave
Marine Le Pen’s solution: buy ACs)

Oh that’s the actual wording they put in the law adopting it (even while conceding it was a “universal” system)! That rocks, real hater energy.
