No. Absolutely no.

Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around £10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.

Proofing & fixing something is a lot harder than making it in the first place - harder as in, "not possible in human." "AI" in coding has already proved that. The entire premise isn't just flawed, it's a guarantee fail.

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

President @barackobama.bsky.social called this week to congratulate me on the campaign we’re building to take on Abbott. Something special is happening here and the world is taking notice of the momentum that is growing across Texas.

Texans are hungry for change — we're all in and we can do this.

A rarely seen dog from a totally different dimension, who is more than passable at leaping, but is nowhere near as interesting or magical as she at first seems.

In February 2022, 22-year-old Amir Locke was shot and killed during the execution of a no-knock warrant that our mayor had campaigned on banning.

This week, the officer who took his life appeared before the City Council as the police department’s new Health & Wellness lead.

Under the Frey administration, MPD receives millions to support officer wellness, while the families of those harmed by police violence are left grieving stolen loved ones and repeatedly denied justice.

Albuquerque’s Mayor Said Arrests Were “Not the Solution” to Homelessness. Yet Jail Bookings Have Skyrocketed. Under Tim Keller’s leadership, the city has increasingly criminalized conduct associated with homelessness, causing a growing number of people on the streets to be arrested and jailed.

The enforcement of laws against homeless people is costly.

Albuquerque’s Bernalillo County spends ~$169/night to jail inmates — and more if they have significant medical needs.

By comparison, the city’s year-round emergency shelter costs $44/night.

2 photographs of a biography of Marty Feldman. One has googly eyes added but it looks virtually the same.

Every time we see this Marty Feldman book it reminds us of that time we stuck googly eyes on it but all that happened was it looked even more like Marty Feldman. 👀

someday I would love to not have to apologize for telling someone to stop fucking deleting and breaking all my work. none of any of that should have to happen.

was communicated to me by (the Rev'd) Mrs McMurray of C. W. Dumbar The following love story of an Odjibway girl ^ it is founded on a historical incident in the ward of Canada. In 1759 Baigwaineoshee, (the White Eagle driven by the wind,) accompanied as far as the lake of Two Mountains, a party of her tribe, who descended the Utawas to aid Gen Montcalm in the defense of Quebec. While there, she received attentions from a young Algonquin, who, however, never fully declared himself. The attachment was mutual, and continued after her return to the south, where she continued to pour out her affections in these strains, which she composed to an Indian chant and often repeated. A grand niece of hers, thus heard the song, and by [?] frequent re- petition learned it. The term Odishquagumee, meaning a man at the lake of two mountains, or as it [?] literally ? at the end of the chain of water, is the Ojibwe term for an Algonquin. Ia indenaindum - ia indenaindum! Makow we yan ninemooshain wee Odishquagumee [Ah me - ah me! when I think of him - when I bring him to mind, my sweetheart, Odishquagumee, or the Algonquin] Pah bojeaun nebe naubekonig Waube megissun nenemooshain wee Odishquagumee [As I embarked he put the white wampum around my neck, my sweet heart, Odishquagumee] Keguh wejeewin aindah nuk ke yun Neen ge- egobun, ne nenemooshai wee Odishquagumee [I ^ shall go with you, he said, to your native country - I will go with you, ^ he said, my sweet heart - Odishquagumee.]

Nia !nin denau dush, wassahwud gushuh Aindunukkeyaum ke y au neememooshain wee Odishquagummee [Oh, I said to him - it is far away - my native country, my sweetheart, Odishquagumee.] Kai aubik oween, ain aube aunin Kewe naube, ne nemooshai wee Odishquag ummee. [When I [would] looked back again, he would still be looking after me, my sweetheart, Odishquagumee] Apee nay we ne nebow wisheban Aung wash agushing, ne nemooshai wee Odishquagumee [^When he was still standing on a fallen tree, that laid in ^ that had fallen the water, my sweetheart, Odishquagumee] Nyau indenain dum - nyau indenaindum! Makow we yan nin de nain dum we Odishquagumee, [Alas! alas! when I think of him - when I [bring his image to mind] think of him - my sweetheart - Odishquagumee.]

!!! Just found this transcription and translation of a love song by an Ojibwe woman who fell in love with an Algonquin man while traveling near Deux-Montagnes, QC in 1759 during the 7 Years War. I can't quite interpret her name, it looks like Baigwaineoshee "The White Eagle Driven by the Wind"

Ayaa, indinendam—ayaa indinendam! Mekawiyaan niinimoshenh wii Odishkwaagamii Oh, I’m thinking—oh I’m thinking, Bringing to mind my sweetheart Algonquin man Bebooziyaan nibi-naabikonig Waabi-miigisan niinimooshenh wii Odishkwaagamii As I embark he puts around my neck White wampum, my sweetheart Algonquin man Giga-wiijiiwin endanakiiyan Ningii-igoban, niniinimooshenh wii Odishkwaagamii I will go with you to your homeland He said to me, my sweetheart Algonquin man Nyaa! Nindinaa dash, waasakwad gosha Endanakiiyaan keyaa niinimoshenh wii Odishkwaagamii Oh! I said to him, it is so far, though The direction of my home, my sweetheart Algonquin man Geyaabi ko wiin enaabiyaanin Gii-wii-inaabi, niinimooshenh wii Odishkwaagami Still as I long as I look back He will look back too, my sweatheart Algonquin man ??Apii ne-wii-neniibawishiban Aangwashagoshing?? niinimoshenh wii Odishkwaagami ?? When he would still be standing there On a tree fallen in the river?? my sweetheart Algonquin man Nyaa indinendam – nyaa indinendam! Mekawiyaan nindinendam wii Odishkwaagamii Oh I am thinking – Oh I am thinking! Bringing him to mind, I am thinking Algonquin man

This is my double-vowel spelling transliteration plus translation of the Ojibwe (with the one section I'm unsure about marked - sadly I think it's possibly the most interesting part of the song / the "volta," if you will)
