Even in a blizzard, #MadisonMetro keeps going (mostly, usually)

#MadisonWI

Had a decent day of video editing today. I'm working on day 7 of our #bikepacking trip: Three classic Dolomites passes (Sella, Pordoi, Falzarego). Still a lot to do, but I have the intro sequence, recorded much of the narration, got the 3D route map rendered. Previous episode are in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpIOuoAsyIo&list=PLVYvBhWNmbN1s1mKJQtem4c2NcO8DjMCT&pp=sAgC

Ticket prices for #RiseAgainst in Madison tonight have gone down sharply since this morning. $71 face value, $42 around 9am, currently $25 including fees. If this continues, I may actually go. Thanks, horrible weather.

I'd like to scan some magazines with my #Android phone. Mix of text and photos, drawings, full color. I tried Google's beta scanning app which is very fast, but the quality isn't great. What do people like as scanning app? Speed/convenience are more important than quality, but it still needs to be good enough to at least have readable text.

#ThunderSnow is coming to #MadisonWI

Edit: I guess it's #ThunderFreezingRain or #ThunderSleet, but that doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Somewhat amazingly, the Nintendo NES that's been sitting in our basement for at least 15 years still works! I listed it for sale -- we'll see if anyone will buy.

RE: @ProPublica@newsie.social

Really important reporting on forced c-sections. Medical racism against Black pregnant people is alive and well. "Mentally competent patients typically have the right to choose their medical care — or refuse it. But there is one notable exception: pregnant patients. That inconsistency is particularly striking in FL, a state that has pushed to expand medical freedom for those who wish to avoid vaccines or fluoridated water, while constricting the rights of people in various stages of pregnancy."
