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...
Interactive heatmaps that fade away to reveal points on zoom - a useful technique for handling dense spatial data.

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:
Lots to unpack from last night. Here's one result that will worry Republicans. Very flawed candidate whose text messages were deemed disqualifying by 41% of voters. And concerning by another 27%. Yet he won handily with ~53%. Clear rebuke to the candidate with (R) next to his name.

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 is a wayyyy cooler version created by @trailsta.sh which creates a PMTiles, then uses that to create an Ultra map.

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.
U.S. Supreme Court denies taking on corner crossing case
That means stepping over private land access public land remains legal in some states, including Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico.

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!)
