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...

Bill Martin was known as the Valentine's leader. He was also a quiet champion for Richmond's LGBTQ+ community. “Bill was doing this work before anybody else.”

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.

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

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.

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.

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.
