I know a lot of people look forward to this particular concert every summer, so I'm real sorry to share that it isn't gonna happen this year. We wish it could, but the bottom line is that we're union, and we don't cross picket lines. Please support your Mpls parks workers!

What could have happened today if more candidates who came in 3rd had refused to drop out? Hint of an answer in the city of Aix. Here, the Macronist candidate refused to drop out. As a result, no front vs the far-right. Result: RN wins with 37%. Left at 36%. Macronists 27%.

A widely predicted victory for the far right in France has instead turned into a victory for the left *because people turned out in record numbers to vote.* Defeat is not inevitable and more progressive elected officials means more progressive policies.

In France, the left coalition comes in first, Macron second, the far-right third. The best way to defeat fascism is not centrism, it’s a strong left.

It takes alot of teaching. I believe this is a female Belted Kingfisher teaching her female youngster to fish. This branch seemed to be a learner’s branch. No hovering required, just dive when you see one. My fave photo from Thursday.🪶

DOCTOR: You have a fatty liver. Do you know what that means? ME: Yes, you're saying it would make a scrumptious foie gras. DOCTOR: No. I mean yes, probably, but that's not the point.

My take on it has always been that the Paradox of Tolerance only arises if one sets no intrinsic value on tolerance as a principle. If tolerance is valuable and desirable, then you cannot passively accept ("tolerate") its destruction. But this one's better.

I once saw someone from Tumblr say, to paraphrase briefly, the Paradox of Tolerance resolves when we think of it as a social contract. The unspoken agreement is that we don't actively harm others. When anyone chooses to be intolerant, they've broken the contract, so it no longer applies to them.

I found this beetle trapped in an abandoned spider web and freed it, because it was essentially in the spider equivalent of a ghost net. Also, it was a very cool beetle - a rugose stag beetle, Sinodendron rugosum.
