Just logging in to twitter for the first time in long time to amplify this request. Ed’s guitar playing and voice has reverberated in my mind for so long. The first vinyl album I bought was fROMOHIO. Lots of need these days but please consider helping Ed.
Attn: old school alt-rockers: Since July, the beloved Ed from fIREHOSE has been out of work, sleeping in his car. He lives in Pittsburgh and winter is coming soon. He needs a little money for a place to live, so he can look for a good job. gofundme.com/f/ed-fromohio-f…
Given that @NBCNews can't even manage to correctly locate cities with a population of 20m+ on a map I'm sure we're in for some really thoughtful and non-hysterical coverage of the Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak from US media🙄 teapaw.org/RealSexyCyborg/status/…

Visualize a swarm of 70 billion flying insects, covering 460 square miles—about 1.5 times the size of New York City—and devouring more than 300 million pounds of crops in one day. That’s how big a single swarm can get. on.natgeo.com/3ahS0DP

If you’re dispute is with Mapbox, then engage them directly and constructively. Instead you’re knowingly harassing proxies which is shameful, harms the reputation of OSM, and is counter productive. There’s no “shades” of cool in that.

For those of you who didn’t live through the invasion of Iraq, here is what is about to happen: 1. There will be a MASSIVE propaganda push (by Republicans) to frame this act of war as a moral necessity and to act like anyone who opposes it is working for “the enemy.”
