Read a stat line that seems to explain why Labor in the UK seems to suck. In 2024 they won 63% of seats off 34% of the vote. They have a huge parliamentary majority but absolutely no mandate to do anything.
Maybe first past the post sucks

despite my effort to stay off social media and not doom-scroll the news, incredible that I keep finding out about more things that Trump is doing that is yet again the worst thing a president has ever done.
He’s literally demolishing the White House
ABC News released before-and-after satellite images of the White House demolition.

holy hell. Costco added a character limit on the password input box, and now I literally can't login normally because our password is/was longer than the input box character limit.
it is incredible that dumb changes like this get pushed to prod.

I don’t go on Bluesky much these days, so consider me surprised that half my feed is dumping on Armand for what I can ascertain are not-fact-based reasons. Like wtf happened to everyone. Maybe everyone else should get off bluesky, too.

in other cities, i have seen bollards or sometimes actual gigantic rocks or leftover pieces of concrete sitting in these red zones to physically disallow drivers from being in the red zone at all.
how much would it cost to just start putting concrete planters in these zones?

After boy hit in crosswalk, school red curbs top of mind
The crash happened Monday at about 3 p.m., at Hopkins Street and Colusa Avenue, as King middle school was letting out.

Jet lag is bad but switzerland is/was very awesome, maybe someday we'll even go to one of the non-german-speaking cantons. Apparently though we are 2/2 for going to europe right as a heat wave hits europe, i think we are some sort of cursed harbingers of warmth, es tut uns so leid.

Happy Thursday, folks!
I'm spending my evening (virtually) in Berkeley, where the City Council will *finally* vote on the Middle Housing Ordinance to legalize duplexes, fourplexes & small apartments in most neighborhoods throughout the city.
Grab some 🍿, 🧵 starts here!

Trying hard to not let it completely prejudice me against the concept ever again, but I just had some Asian food in Switzerland and it was the worst Asian food I’ve ever had in my life. Quite possibly just the worst food period.

Not picking on OP in particular, but the problem is that even if you have very good reason to sell out of stocks, you certainly do not know when to buy back in & much of the avg gains of the market are driven by a small handful of huge days that you’ll miss. Time in the market > timing the market.
this seems like sensible advice to me. i'm increasingly wary of having my money mostly in stocks given current prices.

nothing more maddening than to realize the cause of your confusing results that you've been debugging for ages is because the font being used didn't clearly differentiate between zero and the letter O so you ended up trying to string match the wrong thing

Let me put an even finer point on this: Nancy Pelosi intervened in the House Oversight race to make sure a 74 year old cancer patient won over an up and coming, Latino woman—right before Musk eviscerated the government.
