Listening to #NPR while I do some indoor work (raining today).
Sounds like the US is headed to municipal elections everywhere shortly. Two interesting points:
#Mamdani is poised to win the NYC mayorship. (Yay!) and…
#Minneapolis is using #RankedBallot voting. Glad to see that (slowly) moving forward! Maybe some other US cities too?
My strong belief is that ranked ballot is perhaps the only thing that'll save democracy from creeping authoritarianism and associated electoral manipulation.

A Republican state legislator and a Democratic county commissioner want to ditch the 110-year-old name for what they see as a more marketeable brand.
Others decry the idea as a waste of money and abandonment of history.

"There won't be a Shire anymore"
When the War of the Ring comes to the Shire it's because Lotho Sackville-Baggins made a fortune selling pipeweed to Saruman, and he uses that fortune to gain power over his fellows. Lotho industrializes and militarizes the Shire. Prior to this the Shire has literally twelve law enforcement officers and no written laws, but Lotho uses his wealth to get many hobbits to turn on their neighbors and join the sheriffs. Saruman eventually arrives and takes over, killing Lotho and expanding the militarization and industrialization. Our heroes carry out the Scouring of the Shire, where the Shire is liberated.
This is literally a story of a capitalist turning to fascists for greater control and tyrannizing his own people through surveillance, paramilitary occupation, expasion of security forces, and legalism, before that homegrown fascism grows beyond his control.
ICE is the Chief's men you stupid fucks
This is your regular reminder that Tolkien self identified his politics with anarchism, his notion of a good king was the idea of someone who could hold all the power bu never use it so that no one could actually wield state power, his anti-industrialism is based in his hatred for people being instrumentalized into mere tools therefor robbing their work of meaning and individual expression, and one of his most consistent values throughout his life and writings was anti-authoritarianism.
Chuds literally do not understand Tolkien and use like three coffee table book facts about his life to claim he was right-wing because they want to adopt a Tolkien aesthetic*.
*actually a Peter Jackson aesthetic but they don't know the difference because they don't read

I was bordering on apoplectic when I first heard about K-12 teachers forbidding students from using Wikipedia but then teaching them to use LLMs.

The most Britannica manages to mention of what was actually in that land is this:
❝Much of the territory turned out to contain rich mineral resources, productive soil, valuable grazing land, forests, and wildlife resources of inestimable value.❞
Not a single mention, AFAICT, of the fact that there were already people there.

I remember being extremely confused about this as a kid when I first heard about the Louisiana Purchase. How could the US “purchase” land that nobody from the nation had even explored? Didn’t the people who live there own it? Huh?!?
Wikipedia, for all its messiness, answered Young Paul’s question. Britannica buried it.
But guess which one teachers are •still• trying to keep out of education.
5/
One muddle-headed way of looking at this is “oooooo Wikipedia is wooooke blah blah.”
The better way of looking at it is that Wikipedia lets people jump in and say “What?! No, you are totally missing something important!” It actually •does• the thing the radical centrists (falsely) claim they want: it opens itself to different perspectives.
6/
As humans, we •all• live our lives with our heads up our butts — including but not limited to the Britannica writers. If we’re lucky, someone will help us see what we’re missing. If we’re wise, we listen. At its best, that’s what Wikipedia can do — and in public, at scale, for everyone.
7/
I remember years ago seeing a study that diligently compared the factual accuracy of Britannica vs Wikipedia for a few select articles (will update this post w/link if I find it).
They found a similar rate of factual errors. The short of it: Wikipedia is chaotic and messy, but Britannica often had missing or out-of-date information. Wikipedia had higher noise, but also a higher correction rate. Factuality came out about a wash.
[UPDATE] I think it was this study: nature.com/articles/438900a

Internet encyclopaedias go head to head - Nature
Jimmy Wales' Wikipedia comes close to Britannica in terms of the accuracy of its science entries, a Nature investigation finds. UPDATE: see details of how the data were collected for this article in the supplementary information .Nature
Wikipedia has •numerous• problems, but it belongs in education.
And right now, per the McSweeney’s OP, it’s a lifeboat of humanity in a sea of slop.

Brussels rushes to complete the Lisbon-Madrid 'missing link' in the high-speed rail network.
Travel by train between the capitals of Spain and Portugal should take no more than 5 hours by the end of the decade – and just 3 hours by 2034 – according to plans unveiled by the European Commission.
The EU-backed project is key to connecting Iberia with France and Germany and shifting passengers from planes to trains.
