The California High-Speed Rail Authority has released its Fall 2023 Construction Update highlighting some of the exciting progress on the nation’s first high-speed rail project. Thanks to our skilled workforce, 10 high-speed rail structures have been completed or opened to traffic this year. In November, a record average 1,612 workers were dispatched to a high-speed rail construction site daily.
Another significant development is the near completion of Construction Package 4, the southernmost 22-mile stretch of active high-speed rail construction in California’s Central Valley. The update also highlights progress at high-speed rail structures like the Conejo Viaduct in Fresno County, Hanford Viaduct in Kings County, and Tule River Viaduct in Tulare County.

Dr. Jacob Young presented our paper at IMX: ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences in June 2022.
Telefest is a novel system for live-streaming mixed reality 360° videos to online streaming services. TeleFest allows a producer to control multiple cameras in real time, providing viewers with different locations for experiencing the concert, and an intermediate software stack allows virtual content to be overlaid with coherent illumination that matches the real-world footage.

Album art by me
My most important album so far. It takes heavy influence from Picopop and Shibuya-kei, mainly on acts such as Capsule and COPTER4016882.
I was conceptualizing this idea as early as 2020 with my dear friend Luok, guy behind beepbox classic Dr. Worm (https://ift.tt/5Mr4d2f). Our idea was a café themed album where each hour corresponded to an hour of the day.
I started making songs for this in mid to late 2020, during my Shibuya-kei obsession peak, with its lounge inspired compositions and toy-like instrumentation. In 2021 Devious and I started working on a little jazz song. It eventually reached (nearly) 7 minutes in lenght and became my longest song (for a while, disconsidering the megalovania remix). This song became the album’s titular song. Most progress on this album was seen between 2021 and 2023.
Waterfront Booossa is a cover of .numa’s Waterfront Booost from 2019, originally started in 2020. https://ift.tt/fBkJZqS
Track 13 was made with Devious and is one of the best things we’ve ever made https://ift.tt/YEz0pw5
All songs were made on Jummbox (1-3, 5-16) and Ultrabox (4) between 2020 and 2023.

The 8th Circuit just ruled that there is no private right of action under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. 2-1, Bush and Trump appointees in the majority, Bush appointee dissenting. Affects litigation in the following states: Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. Almost the entire 8th Circuit is Republican appointed. Expect SCOTUS action.
This was in response to the Arkansas NAACP suing the state over racially-biased legislative maps. Between this and both Georgia and Louisiana outright claiming on appeal that Section 2 is unconstitutional, the VRA is under direct Southern-Appalachian right-wing assault.
These full-frontal attacks on the Voting Rights Act, in the majority, come from white Southern Republican state legislatures and federal judges. The VRA did the bare minimum of forcing an imperfect compromise between white Southern rural voters and their Black neighbors, and we’re now paying for its loopholes which are now being exploited.

Georgia currently has the following federally-protected areas:
But apparently Georgia does not have any “national parks”. Also, most of the national forests are located north of Macon and the Black Belt.
Last year, the National Park Service commenced a study to estimate the feasibility of expanding the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park as a full-on national park and preserve. This study also estimated the feasibility of expanding the protected area down the Ocmulgee River to south of Robins AFB. The study, which was completed and sent to Congress this week, ultimately estimated that both would be unfeasible due to cost and landowner opposition, but, in the interest of providing some form of protection for the river, recommended designating a smaller area as a National Heritage Area, a form of public-private partnership in which the NPS plays an advisory role while most of the work is carried out by a government or non-profit organization.
The group which advocates for this expansion has a website. And the congressional cohort which supports this initiative – Sens. Ossoff (D) and Warnock (D), Reps. Bishop (D) and Scott (R) – are not accepting the NPS study and are seeking for approval of the park in Congress. And if that doesn’t work, there’s always presidential designation as a national monument via the Antiquities Act, which could overrule opposition from local landowners and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
Ever since first coming across research regarding how Democratic candidates for president (with the exception of Hillary Clinton in 2016) have done very well in rural counties whose economies depended on ecotourism, I have become deeply interested in how “new rural economies” which draw population have different economic outcomes and political interests than counties in “old rural economies” which depend on agriculture, livestock and/or mining. This held true for Joe Biden in 2020 as well, going so far as winning Teton County, Wyoming, the location of Grand Teton National Park and the most Democratic county in the deep-red state.
Granted, this doesn’t exactly seem to apply to ex-Confederate states, with several national parks and national forests in the Appalachians (i.e., Tennessee, North Carolina) not translating to rural gains for Democrats in presidential elections, or at least not drawing many transplants residents from outside of the region. But it somehow seems to work elsewhere in the United States.
As stated, a National Heritage Area (NHA) affords fewer protections and restrictions on development, but can cover larger areas. An example is the new Alabama Black Belt National Heritage Area, which spans 19 counties and their cities in Alabama’s Black Belt region, is one of two NHAs in Alabama and is administered by the University of West Alabama (based in Livingston).
The NHA system, compared to the national park system, is very new, with NHAs first being designated in the 80s under Reagan and the NHA system only being established in January this year through the National Heritage Area Act (which also established the Alabama Black Belt NHA).
At the very least, NHAs seem to be easier to establish in the eastern U.S. because they don’t seem to require strict preservation of historic or natural properties, which works just fine for a much more densely populated and farmed region like the eastern U.S. Apparently, NHAs can even overlap each other (odd).
IMO, Georgia needs a park and preserve which extends south of Macon:
If an Ocmulgee National Park and Preserve extending to south of Warner Robins is the way to make this diversification happen, then so be it. A National Heritage Area can be secondarily added to the surrounding area, but the park and preserve should also become a reality.
