hey i know the charlottesville school district wants us to shut up about their terrible, expensive plan to put cops back in our schools but what if, instead: we didn't

I'd like to know if others have clocked this surveillance camera. I didn't have a chance to take a picture as I was driving but next time I'm out that way I'll have my passenger take the pic so I can geolocate it. I was pretty sure it was in Albemarle but it could be Nelson.

Heh, I have strong hesitation to post around midnight because who's going to see it?

Openstreets map showing the location of a Flock DLPR camera along US 29 near the border of Nelson and Albemarle counties.

The map at deflock.me shows the camera located in Nelson Co but I'm pretty sure I saw it before the signpost for the Nelson county border. I'm curious which jurisdiction installed it.

I mean about the spitfires knocking V-1s off course. I guess going back to old tech may be the future after all

Is it early tomorrow morning it turns blood-hued?

Wait what

Ah, I see in the replies that quoted post is totally incorrect

Fucking Flock! I just saw a pole mounted camera alongside route 29 southbound (facing south) just inside the Albemarle Co border with Nelson County. Since when has the county been installing cameras?

"AI" makes up details. In-camera processing doesn't.

It's really deceptive, I find so often a thumbnail of a genAI image is convincing but the moment you zoom in to the picture you find the details are all wrong. I wouldn't consider the original photo "digitally edited" unless you consider that of any pic. Compression, color tables, sharpening, etc

So glad I have no idea what you're talking about! Better log back off before I do!

Was this latest spun off of that original post?? Amazing the kinds of things that blow up

March in VA!

It's light snow in Charlottesville 🤷

Abuser mentality

Only people happy are the arms dealers

What year is that from?

Raise that "mission accomplished" banner high

Not fine

(though I generally agree, posts with national level themes seem to get much more engagement*)

*unless it's hyperlocal hot button topics like parking

Lol, I would venture in your case it's not necessarily frivolity but obscurity 🙃

US cannot be trusted to support a true homegrown revolution abroad. (Regardless of who's the US president.)

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

I was outside most of the day and it was glorious!

Sorry, that was a macabre joke, as in the one "ally" in this is Israel.
