My kitten is sort of crazy, she had a surgery today and despite pain meds, calming meds, and the sedation and she is still playing and jumbling around
Not good for her recovery but meds are not working on her, pray for my kid <3

Can someone show this Wikipedia page to the British media? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Monetary_Theory

Zack Polanski has been framed as undoubtedly crazy for talking about money in these terms and no one takes a second to report on his ideas coherently

Game lasted for 5 hours, everyone played till the last minute even those who showed up saying they won't stay till the end! (an indication that it was a fun game)

We made a total of 1095 changes in 47 different neighborhoods!

Less than half an hour left in the game and it is a Seattle Saturday night which means transit frequency are not gonna help folks that much

2 teams are biking though and this last push could be their chance.

.... or they could be pretty damn tired lol

A very interesting comeback from canopy mappers, I'm not surprised though, seemed like the best bet is to expand east which looks like that is what they did!

With a little over 1 hour left in the 5 hours long game, and with teams expected to head back near capitol hill for post game dinner/drink soon, I still can't call it, still anybody's game!

OMG so the teams are going to meet back in cap hill after the game ends and though so far this territory is not claimed by any team I'm excited for a show-down over that territory, bonus points if it was a tie breaker between any two teams! this is the kind of […]

- Only biking and public transit are allowed.
- Only opensource maps are allowed to be used for navigation.

see my other posts under the #mapbattle tag to see how the pilot game is going, I've been live-tooting it […]

With less than 2 hours left in the game, it is still anybody's game judging by how the teams mostly spread out with little to no contested territories (Wheelie Good Team and crochett rocket being an exception with an extremely entangled territory that is […]

2 out of 5 hours of the game passed and competition is fierce with some territory expansion but little to no territory flipping, that's what I good for inviting a bunch of cooperators to compete lol

fun fact, not a single team even attempted to take control of […]

We don't have score breakdown as a feature in mapbattle yet but I did count manually and we did over 200 changes in the first hour of the game!

Someone managed to publish a changeset to openstreetmap with 0 changes in it which broke the back-end lol, luckily locating and fixing such bugs in rust is prettty fast! (I'm a rust newbie so I was surprised)

Map is getting a little more colorful!

November 22, 2025 at 10:36 PM
Wheelie Good Team has changed color and the map looks better now

Also found out that Everydoor caches changes locally instead of uploading them right away (or some other edge case) that keeps the map grey, telling the teams to make sure they upload their changes […]

I'm trying to convince one of the two red teams to switch colors lol, funnily enough they are the teams that started controlling neighborhoods already!

Apparently there are ICE cameras in both the Home Depot (SODO) and Lowes (Mt Baker) parking lots in south Seattle.

These companies are not your friends.

BREAKING: THEY’RE CALLING IT!

Seattle has a new progressive mayor, @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social!

Hopefully a turning point in a city that’s long needed one for better, bolder city-making. Congratulations and good luck Mayor-Elect Wilson, & congrats Seattle voters for choosing a new, better path.

I can't believe you spent a good minute making fun of Linux during the last podcast episode smh

A more nuanced coverage of Linux for desktop would have been a better approach imo
