France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

here’s to 75 million more

I love to walk around town with my limb transformed into a Viscera Launcher.

Spillman takes heat over Facebook post comparing club to KKK ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- An Albemarle County School Board member is facing criticism after comparing a student-run club at Western Albemarle High School to the Ku Klux Klan

And here i was, a mega-wealthy alumnus, just about to donate a gazillion dollars to my alma mater.

The only specific value proposition schmidt can describe here is the stuff that humans are already good at - and the stuff that you literally go to college to learn! Setting up a model of "a robot will innovate for you" is grossly anti-intellectual.

This is a great thread

The Week Without Driving festivities are getting out of control

your name came up! positively, to be clear. talked some about the idea that's been bubbling around donating RoW/easements for future sidewalks.

hey my pleasure, grateful for everyone who came out (and everyone who sent their regrets, lol)

Crozet neighbors! hope to see you there tonight. bring your biggest dreams for making albemarle livable!

"your 'no fascists' rule is going to exclude me!"

went to the weird al show in richmond tonight; inspired to become at least ten percent weirder year-over-year. I've been normal-adjacent for too long.

Folks if you are tired of anti-growth advocacy in Albemarle hamstringing new developments, come hang out & plan with like-minded neighbors (including me) at Bar Botanical in Crozet this Thursday between 5 and 7. We can do better!

Not to date myself, but: you are correct lol
