Mines, hydro project and LNG facility expected to make Mark Carney’s list of major projects Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to refer them to Major Projects Office on Thursday, according to a list obtained by the Star.

Classic Canada to announce a new major fossil fuel project in the midst of the UN climate talks while “affirming” that it’s still “committed” to climate targets it’s not going to meet because of said fossil projects. You gotta laugh to keep from crying at this point www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

And maybe this was just a slip, but it's notable he said Texas Republicans would have to "settle" for a 71% GOP delegation.

They re-gerrymandered the map to target 5 Dem seats and secure a 30-8 majority, which is 79%. 71% would mean failing to flip 3 of those seats

GOP Memo: Gerrymandering Won Us The House Majority Call it a gaffe: a slip-up that accidentally reveals the truth. A...

Of course, they privately know all about it. There was an infamous 2012 Republican State Leadership Committee memo about the success of Project REDMAP in gerrymandering Republicans a House majority despite losing the popular vote in that year

Extreme gerrymandering was one of the few things that united practically the whole Republican consultant class from "center"-right to far-right in 2012, and Brad Todd hasn't changed in that regard.

A whole party of "doesn't look like anything to me" about their own side's gerrymandering

Unfortunately, I don't think they're close to gerrymandering to the max in many states, but fortunately many GOP state legislators were quite opposed to doing that in this cycle

Indiana gerrymandering was shot down, could happen one day I guess

Florida could still happen, but looks shaky with possible Hispanic gains by Dems

Really only way GOP could gain much more from gerrymandering is if the VRA is struck down

Texas already gerrymandered their maps at beginning of the decade

They then gerrymandered them again mid-decade to get even more seats

Same thing in Missouri and North Carolina

So presumably GOP has already gerrymandered to the max most places

*Only wildcard is SCOTUS and VRA

If you're not there it could be: you're opted out as above; or that your account didn't happen to get swept up by a process which involved finding the follows of the people I follow then finding their follows, then iterating on that process several times; or you follow >5k people; or some other bug

The only information used to label the "clusters" is 30 profile bios randomly chosen from that cluster, which an LLM is asked to identify the commonalities in. So the name given to a cluster is not something that applies to everyone in it.

The only information used to place you on the map is that the types of people who follow you also follow other people in that area of the map.

To opt out please tell Bluesky you want to disable logged-out visibility, as below, and you will be opted out next time profile data is imported

Now added some Haiku-generated labels, but they can be turned off with the settings cog in bottom left. Global structure definitely could be better, but also isn't bad

I made it by fitting a recommendation-engine style model with dot products to predict the probability that a person X follows person Y with 128-dim dimensions for "following" and "followers" and then squishing the followers embeddings into 2D with various iterations of tSNE.

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Two affidavits were filed by the same agent. The second affidavit is available here:

Thank you!! Hopefully more of this Congress is starting to realize that this is a moral issue. It’s no longer political.

Do the right thing.

Russ Vought, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget said in a statement to USA TODAY. "This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country. A comprehensive review is underway and any vital activities such as weather research will be moved”
