    #SomethingsGottaGive (2003)
    A swinger on the cusp of being a senior citizen with a taste for young women falls in love with an accomplished woman closer to his age.

  2. By 10am we're on the cusp between medium & high risk wildfire smoke AGAIN. 2025 will irrefutably be yet another year where Calgarians breathe literally 100s of hours of smokey air where the norm since time immemorial was just 12 hours per year. Our bodies weren't made for this #SueBigOil #AQHI #yyc

  4. A cycloidal pendulum - one suspended from the cusp of an inverted cycloid - is isochronous, meaning its period is constant regardless of the amplitude of the swing. Please find the proof using energy methods: Lagrange's equations (in the images attached to the reply).

    Background:
    The standard pendulum period of \(2\pi\sqrt{L/g}\) or frequency \(\sqrt{g/L}\) holds only for small oscillations. The frequency becomes smaller as the amplitude grows. If you want to build a pendulum whose frequency is independent of the amplitude, you should hang it from the cusp of a cycloid of a certain size, as shown in the gif. As the string wraps partially around the cycloid, the effect decreases the length of the string in the air, increasing the frequency back up to a constant value.

    In more detail:
    A cycloid is the path taken by a point on the rim of a rolling wheel. The upside-down cycloid in the gif can be parameterized by \((x, y)=R(\theta-\sin\theta, -1+\cos\theta)\), where \(\theta=0\) corresponds to the cusp. Consider a pendulum of length \(L=4R\) hanging from the cusp, and let \(\alpha\) be the angle the string makes with the vertical, as shown (in the proof).

    The #Rams and #Chargers are meh. The #Lakers will be meh+ while the #Kings will be in the market for a new #GM and #Coach at the end of the season.
    The #Sparks are not even meh. The #Galaxy and the #LAFC are number 1 and 2 in the #Western of the #MLS while #AngelCity is in shambles. #USC now sits at 2 loses and aren’t looking playoff bound.
    This is the state of #LA sports. Sad.

  8. Group says Michigan is at the cusp of achieving gender parity with women in elected office • Michigan Advance

    Michigan ranks third in the country for the state with the best gender parity for women in elected office, according to rankings from RepresentWomen, a non-profit organization tracking gender representation in elected office in the U.S.

    With a 49.5 out of 100 score, Michigan is at the edge of gender parity. The two states that outrank Michigan, Wisconsin and Maine, have achieved gender parity with Wisconsin scoring 51.8 and Maine scoring 54.1 this year.

    Michigan has never strayed far from the top ten states since RepresentWomen began compiling its annual Gender Parity Index in 2013, but since the 2018 election when women were elected to lead all three of Michigan’s statewide executive offices, the state has been inching towards parity.

    Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan’s second ever female governor, often speaks on workforce and educational opportunities for women in the state, embracing a “wear pink, get sh*t done” mentality to femininity in politics.

    Last summer when the “Barbie” movie was coming out, Whitmer’s office came out with an unofficial “Governor Barbie” calling for empowerment for children and women to seek out their dream jobs and roles.

    “Together, we work to create spaces and structures that empower women to show up as they are and allow them [to] lead from the front,” Whitmer posted on “X” in July of 2023.

  9. 「But now #Johannesburg is on the cusp of firing hapless #KabeloGwamanda as mayor as the #ANC at national level clicks how it lost the election primarily in the cities. #Gwamanda is like a character from Can Themba’s story The Suit – an empty caricature of a mayor. He is the fifth mayor since the election in 2021, when no single party won.

    Elected as part of a tortured compromise to create a coalition between the ANC and the #EFF, Gwamanda is from #AlJamaAh, which has only three seats in the council.

    He owes loyalty and fealty to his political bosses, but he needs to show no accountability to the people because they did not appoint him. In a callous display of this, he called citizens “stooges” in July when protests grew against the impact of sky-high electricity tariffs and charges.

    According to my source, he will be out in a week, and the city will have its sixth mayor since the local government election in 2021.

    As the place where gold was discovered and a metropolis shot up without a supporting river or body of water, Johannesburg is an exciting and storied city.
    Rebuilding #Joburg

    The mayoral musical chairs is a political joke, but it’s not funny. Johannesburg is systemic for South Africa; it’s too big to fail. Too many people live here. Too much of the economy is concentrated here. Too much of our history is contained here.

    It is going to take much more than a change of mayor to fix it. What does that fix look like? Fortunately, we know about it because of the work of #Jozi My Jozi, the civil society and corporate programme to bring it back from the brink, and the #JohannesburgCrisisAlliance.

    Jozi My Jozi’s team has relit the Nelson Mandela Bridge and revamped the arterial on- and off-ramps into the city. In a major programme, its volunteers cleaned #Hillbrow on Mandela Day. Ahead of the All Blacks game at Ellis Park at the end of August, a plan is under way to revamp and uplift the eastern inner-city area from Ponte to Ellis Park and further down.

    The Crisis Alliance has tabulated and project-managed exactly what a fix of Joburg will require and how it should happen. The city needs to be put under national administration, like Durban’s eThekwini council. It is the only way to bring back the two cities from the urbacide (killing of a city) visited upon them by local #StateCapture.

    In Joburg, this will entail a legal shake-out of the administration and entities such as #CityPower, #JohannesburgWater, the #JohannesburgRoadsAgency and #Pikitup, through which the city is ostensibly managed. Each one of them is a basket case, rendered so by decades of cadre deployment and extractive politics.」
