Mamdani’s success, according to mainstream narratives and prominent pundits, is due to a mixture of individual political acumen, social media savvy, a talented video production team, and his appealing message of a more affordable city for all New Yorkers. All of this helped, but the fact that Mamdani secured the most total votes in a primary in New York City’s history marks the culmination of a grassroots political project that began at least back in 2015, when the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) announced a “New Strategy for a New Era,” energized by the early days of Bernie Sanders’s first presidential run.

Over the past nine years, NYC-DSA has built a field organizing machine that is arguably the strongest electoral operation in municipal politics nationwide. Through wins and losses in local, state, and federal elections, NYC-DSA has learned strategic lessons, developed significant logistical capacity, created a volunteer base for canvassing and outreach, and nurtured a cadre of experienced electoral campaign workers who work on endorsed campaigns.

Seeking interop testing for geosocial ActivityPub client


Hey, all! I’m seeking some help testing an application I whipped up for the Geosocial task force of the W3C Social Web Community Group. It’s called [url=https://checkin.swf.pub/]https://checkin.swf.pub/[/url] , and it’s a barebones checkin service, simila

Hey, all! I’m seeking some help testing an application I whipped up for the Geosocial task force of the W3C Social Web Community Group. It’s called https://checkin.swf.pub/ , and it’s a barebones checkin service, similar to Swarm, but implemented as a pure Web client. You can watch the application in action.

videopress.com/embed/zCMu0OeZ?…

It logs into your account on an ActivityPub server using OAuth 2.0. It then reads your inbox, filtering the activities there to only show geosocial ones. You can use the geolocation services in the browser, and the places.pub/ service for a place vocabulary, to find nearby places. You can then “check in” to one of the places, with a note, and control of the privacy of the activity.

Geosocial activities are part of the core Activity Vocabulary that underlies ActivityPub. But, they’re not as widely implemented as other activities in the vocabulary. This app is trying to change that, by making them available on the network, and making it easy to create them.

To test the client, your service will need to support:

To test federation, your service will need to support:

As of this writing, Mastodon does not work for either of these. If you want to test receiving federated messages, follow me on evan@onepage.pub . I’ve been using it a lot!

Code for the checkin application is here: github.com/social-web-foundati…

This is my second ActivityPub API client (ap, the command-line client, was my first), and my first one for the Web. I found this process really fun and invigorating. I was able to create a new kind of social networking application (well, new on the Fediverse…) purely from the client side. The app saves no data to the server; everything is done in the browser.

Please reach out on GitHub or comment here if you want to work on interoperability. I’m happy to help debug connections if needed.

FYI I'd love to help. But from Jan 1 2025 onwards, I refuse to do anything that requires logging in to GritHub. For the same reason I refuse to maintain an account on FarceBook.

Even reading GH pages on mobile is starting to require allowing this BorgSoft-controlled platform to run JS in my browser.

Cameroon's President Biya, 92, announces bid for eighth term in office


Cameroon's President Paul Biya, the world's oldest serving head of state at 92, has announced he will run in this year's presidential election in October.

"I am a candidate in the presidential election. Rest assured that my determination to serve you matches the urgency of the challenges we face," he posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday.

A new term would keep Biya in office until he is nearly 100. He came to power more than four decades ago in 1982, when his predecessor Ahmadou Ahidjo resigned. The country has had only two presidents since its independence from France and the United Kingdom in the early 1960s.

Biya scrapped presidential term limits in 2008, clearing the way for him to run indefinitely. He won the 2018 election with 71.28 percent of the vote, although opposition parties alleged there were widespread electoral irregularities.

His re-election bid had been widely anticipated, although his age and health are the subject of frequent speculation and criticism.

Biya also used social media to announce his candidacy for 2018's presidential contest, in a rare show of direct engagement with the public on social media.

In his recent post, Biya described an "increasingly restrictive international environment" and acute challenges for Cameroon, adding that he had decided to "respond favourably to the urgent calls coming from the 10 regions of our country and from the diaspora" to stand for election.

Members of the ruling Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (CPDM) and other supporters have publicly called for Biya to seek another term since last year.

Grégoire Owona, deputy secretary-general of the CPDM, told RFI: "At the party level, we had no doubts about this candidacy."

However, two former allies have quit the ruling coalition and announced their own plans to run in the election.

Issa Tchiroma Bakary, Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, left the government before declaring his presidential candidacy under the banner of his party, the FSNC.

Bello Bouba Maïgari, a minister of state and former prime minister – and a long-standing ally of Biya's for nearly 30 years – also declared his candidacy.

Opposition parties and some civil society groups argue that Biya's long rule has stifled economic and democratic development. The opposition remains deeply divided however, and is struggling to unite behind a single candidate.

Maurice Kamto, Biya's fiercest opponent of Biya, who came second in the 2018 presidential election, and Cabral Libii, a prominent opposition figure, are already in the running for the presidency.

Sunday's announcement has revived the debate over Biya's fitness for office. He seldom makes public appearances, often delegating responsibilities to the chief of staff of the president's office.

Last October, he left Cameroon for 42 days with no explanation, sparking speculation that he was unwell. The government responded by banning any discussion on his health, saying it was a matter of national security.

Under Biya's rule, Cameroon has faced economic challenges and insecurity on several fronts, including a drawn-out separatist conflict in its English-speaking regions and ongoing incursions from the armed Islamist group Boko Haram in the north.

The date of the presidential election was set for 12 October last Friday by the head of state himself. Candidates have until 21 July to declare their intention to run.

La voce dell’intimità: Elis Martins si racconta in musica


Con “Dentro me”, Elis Martins irrompe sulla scena musicale con un'esplosione di autenticità e visione artistica. Un brano che non si limita a raccontare: vive, respira e conquista.

In questa intervista Elis ci parla della realizzazione di un sogno e del suo cammino con il Produttore Salvo De Vita.

Elis Martins, finalmente abbiamo conosciuto il tuo inedito " Dentro me".
Cosa hai provato quando è uscito?

Ho provato grande soddisfazione per la realizzazione di un sogno che, prima di conoscere il Produttore Salvo De Vita, non pensavo potesse mai avverarsi e lo ringrazio per la sua professionalità e dedizione, nell'affiancarmi, passo passo in tutte le fasi di pre e post produzione.

Potresti raccontarci qualcosa riguardo alla sua produzione?

Certo... il brano “Dentro me” e il relativo video clip, sono stati interamente realizzati a Napoli. Due giorni di pura emozione un full immersion in cui sono stata catapultata in un in un mondo a me totalmente sconosciuto, un mondo in cui tutto quello che avevo sognato prendeva finalmente vita e io ne ero la protagonista, con un intero staff completamente dedicato a me che mi seguiva e indirizzava in ogni momento con enorme competenza e organizzazione tutto ovviamente sotto la supervisione del Produttore Dott. Salvo De Vita.

Cosa ti aspettavi succedesse dopo la sua uscita ? Quali sono state le tue aspettative a riguardo?

Cosa mi aspettavo?... La mia unica aspettativa era di arrivare a più persone possibili e, grazie al lavoro mirato e costante dell'Ufficio Stampa MP, il mio obbiettivo è stato raggiunto ed è in continuo aggiornamento.

Il tuo è un brano autobiografico. Pensi di aver toccato nel cuore delle persone con " Dentro me"?

Come dicevo poc'anzi “Dentro me” ha raggiunto una quantità di visualizzazioni, sui social e sulle piattaforme, più che soddisfacente e stando alle interazioni del pubblico.. Sì!.. posso affermare di aver toccato il cuore di molte persone e questo mi riempie immensamente di gioia e voglia di proseguire questo cammino.

Cosa ci possiamo aspettare, in futuro, riguardo a questo grandioso progetto musicale?

Il mio percorso è in continua evoluzione e ogni giorno mi confronto con il mio produttore sui progetti futuri, che a dir la verità sono numerosi e veramente interessanti, il 24 Agosto ad esempio parteciperò all'evento dell'Associazione Letteraria Engel Von Bergeiche al Castello di Venosa e, concedendovi un piccolo spoiler, per l'anno 2026, c'è in progetto l'uscita del mio nuovo inedito.

Seguitemi per scoprire tutte le novità!

SORELLA DI PERFEZIONE di Giuseppe Iannozzi - Il nuovo booktrailer

💥💥💥 SORELLA DI PERFEZIONE di Giuseppe Iannozzi, LFA Publisher - E una poesia bonus 🥳🥳🥳

PER TE SONO MORTO (*)

Per te sono morto, sono morto!
Te lo gridai ben forte
Non ti pregai di ricordarmi,
d’esser un po’ immortale
sui gradini del tuo poetare

Per te sono morto,
sfortunatamente non a sufficienza,
perciò continuo a pregarti di buttarmi
giù dalle scale di quei tuoi pensieri
che di tanto in tanto ti riportano a me,
ché solo così potrò io coglione
raggiungere la pace

(c) Iannozzi Giuseppe

(*) Questa poesia non è inclusa in "Sorella di Perfezione".

"Sorella di Perfezione" è la mia ultima opera. ❤️❤️❤️ La poesia è come la magia: sorprende il lettore, lo emoziona, gli fa palpitare il cuore. La poesia è la forma più nobile di letteratura. Con questo non voglio assolutamente dire di essere un profeta. Ho scritto un libro di circa 230 pagine. Ho impiegato ben quattro anni per scrivere le poesie che sono nell'antologia “Sorella di perfezione” (LFA Publisher). Perché dovreste leggere le mie poesie? Una risposta non ce l'ho, e non intendo stupirvi con effetti speciali e paroloni.
"Sorella di Perfezione" accoglie tante poesie, circa duecento. Ogni lirica affronta uno o più temi e tutti di grande attualità: amore, vita, morte, povertà, malattia, guerra, etc. Sostanzialmente parlo degli ultimi e dei penultimi, parlo di persone che dalla vita hanno ottenuto poco o niente. - Giuseppe Iannozzi

Are AI existential risks real—and what should we do about them?


  • There have long been concerns about the existential risks that might be posed by highly capable AI systems, spanning from loss of control to extinction.
  • Some industry leaders believe AI is close to matching or surpassing human intelligence, though some evidence shows improvements in the technology have slowed recently.
  • While such intelligence might be reached and could pose extreme risks, there are more urgent issues and AI harms that should first be addressed, especially as researchers face more limited resources.

More Than Half of Carbon Credit Auditors Have Signed Off on 'Overclaimed' Benefits


Can carbon-reducing projects "offset" a company's emissions? "The reality has been less encouraging," according to a Science magazine editorial by Cary Coglianese, a law/political science professor at University of Pennsylvania, and Cynthia Giles, a former senior advisor at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In a new paper published Wednesday, they found that more than half of all currently-certified carbon auditors signed off on projects later found to be "overclaiming" carbon benefits.
