It's all about supply and demand. When something is very, very rare, the price goes up. #gop #voterfraud #not

For reference, there is an uncontained H1N1 bird flu outbreak in Utah. State authorities have decided not to test employees or the animals involved and are not taking any measure to contain the outbreak. This is bad because mink provide a perfect stepping stone to humans. bsky.app/profile/olev...

@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social Photos of a pretty place, just to say hello. Edelweiss & view of high alps including Jungfrau from just about tiny train stop at Wengernalp in Switzerland. Edelweiss conveniently by the walking path near train.

Quote of the day: "Vegemite is typically considered an acquired taste at best by those who weren't raised on it." and they don't even get into the question of Marmite vs Vegemite. #australia #vegemite #marmite www.npr.org/2026/10/26/g...

Bolsonaro loses. Strongman is out in Serbia. The GOP next. Vote like it may be your last chance to.

100% of current US presidents steal so much they don't have to work.

When people like that call other people 'elitist', what they mean is that person isn't subservient to them, an obviously important person, may even dare to call them out for their bullshit. "You must be elitist because you think you are as important as me, which is impossible, know your place" etc.

I’ve been masking for well over six years now: still waiting for that CO2 poisoning, oxygen starvation and fungal pneumonia to kick in

A two-weekend fun project from 2 months ago: Vermilion, an experimental Lean 4 backend for Verus verifier for Rust. Verification conditions are readable Lean theorems, provable with an SMT solver, Lean's grind, Mathlib lemmas, by hand, or by your favorite AI system. github.com/ilyasergey/v...

New post on "Proofs and Intuitions": Verus meets Lean. An experiment in bringing interactive proofs and mathematical libraries to auto-active Rust verification. proofsandintuitions.net/2026/10/18/v...

A friend just pointed out Vermillion. The idea is to use Verus annotations on a Rust program but replace Z3 with Lean. This increases the sophistication of possible proofs allows simplification. Nice work. proofsandintuitions.net/2026/10/18/v... @ilyasergey.bsky.social #proof #verus #rust #lean

Empathy *is* a danger. It's a danger to a party based on crushing immigrants and brown people. It's a danger to a party based on killing children who are far away.

Canadians once again show that they are sensible people, even in Alberta. Not that the secessional referendum didn't just fail. It failed resoundingly. apnews.com/article/albe...

Mistake I see in turnout analyses is confusing *voting lines* & *high turnout*. You can have high turnout in a place that planned for it, has tons of locations/staff, & see no lines! Or middling turnout in a place that doesn't care to help, enough to trigger long lines!

I voted. Your turn!

I might call that 100% less than they claimed, but according to their own arithmetic, that's like at least 10,000% or 20,000% less than they said at first.

The best part of this is, of course, the cow watching it.

But how many did you do in the last *last week*? That's how you qualify as a recidivist old fart. Paging @ellen-friedman.bsky.social

Update: without explanation, and after being suspended for more than an hour during peak mobilization time, Zuckerberg's Instagram restored the No Kings account but we still lack admin access. More to come. Rest assured we will not stop organizing against this regime and its collaborators.
