Freed from prison for a crime he didn't commit, 'Central Park Five' member wins NYC Council race
A member of the “Central Park Five” has won the Democratic primary for a seat on the New York City Council representing Central Harlem.
> Yusef Salaam ... has won a Democratic primary for a seat on the New York City Council, all but assuring him of eventual victory.
> His outsider campaign prevailed over two political veterans — New York Assembly members Inez Dickens, 73, and Al Taylor, 65 ... Democratic socialist Kristin Richardson Jordan, the incumbent council member, dropped out of the race in May ...
> While all three candidates focused on promoting affordable housing, controlling gentrification and easing poverty in Harlem, Salaam capitalized on his celebrity ...
> Salaam moved to Georgia shortly after he was released [in 2002] and became an activist, a motivational speaker, an author and a poet. He returned only in December to launch his campaign.
A judge ruled that coffee giant Starbucks violated federal labor law by terminating the workers.
> The ruling by [National Labor Relations Board] Judge Robert A. Ringler found that the company and local store managers in Pittsburgh abused their power and unlawfully targeted workers organizing with Pittsburgh Starbucks Workers United.
> Three of the fired workers were part of the union’s 5-member bargaining unit, a fact that Ringler suggested was not a coincidence.
> As workers at Starbucks stores nationwide have racked up organizing victories, the company has been hit numerous times with NLRB rulings that found unlawful labor practices.
"Stop Cop City Week of Action" Showed Movement’s Strength Amid Rampant Repression
Police sought to repress and intimidate protesters during the week of action, but the movement only emerged stronger.
I could, but the article I linked already has.
There can be a discussion about Aljazeera as an organization, but that has nothing to do with the content of this article.
And reparations is not only about slavery. This panel wrote 1,075 pages on the subject and it doesn't sound like you even read one article about it before trying to dispute the validity of a reparations program. Again, there can be discussion about how reparations should be handled, but it should start by acknowledging that colossal amount of work that has already gone into the conversation.
A nine-member task force in the US has published a 1,075-page report identifying ways to redress the harms of slavery.
wait, I've never used quora. whats bad about it
Maybe because I'm using Jerboa, but it feels slower to me. Jerboa has many issues though
I've had a hard time finishing the game because of #2. DE is such a weird blend of "the devs thought of everything" and "all conversations are railroaded into insanity". What at first felt like a game allowing the player to explore and develop political views in an alternate universe is actually more of a hamfisted, cynical parody of all possible idealogies. I think the moment I got South Park vibes (not from the writing, but from the " everyone is stupid " vibe) is when I was doomed to never finish it. That said, I actually love so much about the game, I want to enjoy and finish it. I just find it so tiring.
Their quest/story writing has definitely fallen off a cliff but I think it's done to serve their bad game design. Or it goes hand in hand. Frankly I just don't think Skyrim or FO4 were particularly good examples of the genre and probably won't buy more Bethesda RPGs, but we'll see.
that doesn't really hold because Wikipedia does not struggle with funding in the sense you're thinking: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/wikipedia-millions-bank-beg/
so, survival doesn't necessarily have to be at stake
I'm having the opposite experience. I feel like it's already so active here I can't keep up in bigger communities like this one.
can't tell for sure, but it looks like a northern crab spider or a relative. they can change color to camouflage with flowers, which is where they do most of their hunting!
in many ways AH is one of the highest quality and most valuable subreddits on the site. it's such an important organization that really should live on outside of reddit, but obviously it only got so big because it was part of that ecosystem. I think I might mourn AH more than my smaller niche subs even though I don't go there often if it does end uo disappearing. I really hope they can migrate successfully somewhere else.
this is its range, apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phidippus_clarus#Habitat_and_distribution
I'm in the continental US (I don't want to be more specific than that, although over time I'll probably reveal myself by the array of critters I post)
I'll use common names in conversation, but I prefer taxonomic naming when labeling things. Some things have no common names, some have many, and some share common names with other things. to me that's reason to avoid them for identification
I get a ton of this near creeks in my area too. It's delicious, but watch out for a poisonous lookalike (not smellalike) that can grow in the same spots.
I don't think it's fair to say nothing is changing, but "dying" admittedly seems like hyperbole.
Organizations can die slowly or not at all but still be gravely damaged. They are almost certainly making these moves to capture the least critical (most profitable) portions of their userbases and hunker down for survival. Even if the change is extremely painful, they're (likely) planning for the specific goal of avoiding total death.
this is what representation looks like
I'm in a very similar boat as you, and I often feel frustrated with how much there is I'm not keeping track of. But I don't really like coding side projects in my free time, so I just learn as deeply as I can about the frameworks my works teams are using. It tends to pay off insofar as people can usually tell that I've done research, so at the very least it helps me less less insecure...
I keep meaning to build something interesting in svelte. I was very excited about it a couple years ago and rebuilt a super simple version of the homepage of my primary site, but I didn't really feel like it made sense in the way React does (admittedly, I've worked with React a lot more...). What's your favorite thing about working in svelte?
is Psyche the name of the asteroid and the mission?
Brilliant Jumping Spider on watering can
Phidippus clarus, the brilliant jumping spider. This is a female, which is beautiful in my opinion, but the males are mostly black and have iridescent blue chelicerae (mouth parts that look like fangs). Behind this spider you can see a line of web, a sort of safety harness that had been attached before jumping to this spot.
I felt very fortunate to spot this spider as I've never seen any of this species before, to my knowledge. I didn't even know they lived here until last summer, when I found this one. I hope to see a male one day and maybe even get a good picture.
I'm not a very social person so for me the worst part is feeling left out of the community. I'm very happy to be queer. But I also live in a place where I don't always feel comfortable being visible - those experiences make me hate my surroundings, not my identity.
The Gulf Coast Toad who lived on my porch last year
I haven't seen this buddy since fall, and over winter I lost a lot of plants (including the vine pictured). We've been hoping he'd come back this year, but no sightings so far. We do get a ton of frogs in the yard/neighborhood and check their markings whenever we can, but no luck! I hope he's thriving in the fields nearby.
"Gulf Coast Toad" is the common name for at least two species; this is Incilius nebulifer.
And for those who don't know: "toad" is not a formal classification, so this little guy, like all toads, is also a frog!
