Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Alrighty then.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Hanover animal control will sell 'drunk raccoon' t-shirts after story goes viral

The 2025 VA Gubernatorial Election, a contest between former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger and incumbent Lt. Governor Winsome Earl-Sears resulted in Spanberger thrashing Earl-Sears by a 15.4% landslide — the Largest Democratic win in VA since it became a two party Democracy.

Upset that guns overtook cars as the number one killer of children in America, the GOP sat down and asked themselves, what can we do?

Whenever you hear anyone spouting racism, and spreading misinformation: this what they are desperately trying to deflect attention from. The billionaires are the real problem.

#30DayMapChallenge | Day 13 10-minute map | Tiny #LEGO #Georgia Map I didn’t have my LEGO elements with me, so I used whatever pieces I had to build a tiny Georgia map. It’s probably the least geometrically/topologically accurate LEGO map, but it's still a strong candidate for the cutest one. 😅🍑

The "good cops vs. bad cops" veneer between US Dems and Repubs is wearing thin when it's obvious they are all benefiting from the same interests. Thanks for nothing, as per usual, you feckless rats.* (*With apologies to rats, which are objectively more moralistic than any US Congress member.)

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

I too like this technique. I think it works esp well if you use the same colors for your dots as the heatmap. Here's an example I made a while ago for how to do this in Ultra: overpass-ultra.us/docs/Example...

I have a local bias because I live in VA, but I really do think Jay "Two Bullets" Jones' decisive W for AG in a light-blue state against a white incumbent is the biggest red flag for the GOP last night. Even voters that *claimed* to care about his out-of-pocket texts still voted for him:

RVA area peeps: @maprva.org will be leisurely cycling the new Henrico-Ashland portion of the Fall Line Trail next Saturday Nov 8. We'd like YOU to join! Plan is to meet behind the VCC Target ~11a, bike 7 mi to Ashland, eat, look at historic houses, and head back. DM/reply for more details!

Are get out the vote campaigns just lying now? I got both snail-mail and sms spam claiming I haven't voted every year since living in Virginia, yet I have, as confirmed by my vote.elections.virginia.gov voter history.

This evening, see you there!

Friendly reminder that our next meetup will be next Wed Oct 29th at Main Library, 6pm. We'll talk cemetery mapping! Including a presentation from Beth Zizzamia of the University of Richmond! In other words, it's going to be a good one 😀 hope to see you there!🎃 👻

Trump Says He Won’t Rule Out Third Reich

“'I think we should have principles as business owners and stand up for what’s right,' [owner William McCormick] said. The actual shirt, he explained, isn’t really new. 'It used to just say Fuck Nazis. We just clarified who the Nazis were.'"

For real. I only had "killing nazis" phases featuring Wolfenstein, Call of Duty, and Battlefield 1942.

Corner crossing will not have its day in the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court justices announced today it will not hear the Wyoming case, which has broad impacts for public land access across the West.

Just revamped trailstash.net to show off more of my maps (and a few map-related apps) #cartography #mapmaking #maps #gis

Love this! Added some metadata to link to an image & to more info. A little hyper-local curation of the hyper-local mapping. Please fix any mistakes made by this former RVA resident (long before the Gun Hole!) www.openhistoricalmap.org/node/2140307... #RVA #LocalHistory #Micromapping

And according to this Reddit post, the Richmond Gun Hole was a water pistol all along! www.reddit.com/r/rva/commen... #rva

In fun hyper-local information and mapping, @maprva.org (@trailsta.sh) has mapped the RVA gun hole on @openhistoricalmap.org... and also added a page in @wikidatacommunity.bsky.social. www.openhistoricalmap.org/node/2140307... www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q136514...

Saw some post somewhere earlier about people “not getting” transness or whatever You don’t have to get it. If you believe in bodily autonomy for all, then no one needs you to understand their personal situation to earn being seen as a person by you. You just treat every human being as a person.

“By the time the plane pulled up to the private Richmond Jet Center terminal on that drizzly morning Sept. 17, three unmarked white vans with darkened windows awaited it.”

Richmond Virginia #RVA was the Capital of Confederacy. Monument Avenue was home to the losers trophies. Every one of those statues is now gone. Davis came down first by the will of the people.
