orban controlled the media, the government, the budget, the justice system, the institutions

but he did not control the vote casting and he did not control the vote counting

theres a lesson here if we are willing to take it

this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.

it is very important to remember that the confederates were both traitors and big stupid losers who got their asses kicked

The US press is going to hide this from you but the reason there are "strikes on Lebanon" and "confusion over the strait" is that TRUMP RANDOMLY AGREED TO THE CEASEFIRE TO ESCAPE HIS OWN BLUFF WITHOUT WORKING OUT ANY OF THESE DETAILS

Oof. Insta weed guys should only send a single message: their contact info on signal.

Virginia’s territorial claims over the years.

Two things that are, unfortunately, true:

-Massive algorithmic tech platforms need to be regulated
-There is no proposed regulation in the US that legally defines a site like Facebook as being different from like the comment section on someone's cooking blog

Without that we destroy the internet.

A comic strip titled The Amazing World of Tomorrow. A food delivery robot cooler drives down a sidewalk. It crashes into a rental scooter. It backs up. It crashes into the rental scooter again. The scooter wobbles. The scooter falls to the ground as the food delivery robot backs up again. A driverless taxi crashes into both the scooter and the food delivery robot sending them flying.

The Amazing World of Tomorrow

The dumbest fuck on the planet is President of the United States.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

keep thinking about how much more hate teachers got for not wanting to catch/spread covid than troops get for literallty obliterating children.

New RVA bot! You've heard me drone on about @maprva.org's Yesterdays project, and now you get it spoon-fed to you every few hours. Give it a follow or, even better, go to yesterdays.maprva.org and place some photos yourself!

And good neighbors shovel for their elderly and disabled neighbors too!

“Good neighbors shovel; everyone else just says “good luck.”

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

With at least 4 days of this left I’m really starting to get judgy about folks who haven’t cleared their sidewalks. Especially businesses & apartment buildings. And *especially* if they did clear their parking lots. #rva

A dark background map with large orange icons of a figure kicking a soccer-ball. Below each icon is the name of a women’s sports bar. It is centered over the seattle area and shows the two locations of Rough and Tumble and the one location of Pitch the Baby.

I am avoiding thinking about The Horrors for a few minutes by updating my "Women's Sports Bars" map with some more newly opened places. If you know of others, I am happy to add them (to OpenStreetMap, where I pull my data from).

I am tired of Earth. These people.

Cyprus, Greenland, Faroe, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Svalbard, Portugal, Madeira, Spain, England, Scotland, Wales, and the United States are now included in Mapterhorn v0.0.7.

Special thanks to Daniel Silk (NZ), Hidenori Fujimura (JP), and Christopher Varjas (US)!

Incredibly heartbreaking. He gave @maprva.org a tour just 3 weeks ago, sending his staff home and staying behind so that we could spend just a *little more* time looking around. His joy of the collection was contagious.

Infuriating that we have another pedestrian killed by a car.

A beloved RVA figure killed by a driver in broad daylight is a tragedy made worse by how preventable it was. City leaders love touting Vision Zero, but dither on redesigning demonstrably dangerous roads out of incompetence, lack of urgency, fear of inconveniencing drivers, etc. This is the result.
