Hype for the Future 68I: The Historical Significance of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, County by County

Preamble The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is not just defined by Plymouth nor by Boston, but also by the numerous other cities and towns within the surrounding areas and beyond—as far west as the Berkshires, as far east as Cape Cod, and as far south as Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. Introduction The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is home to fourteen (14) distinct counties, of which eight (8) of the county governments have been abolished. The other six remain in full force and are […]

7 Jan 1645: Burial #otd of Sir Thomas Jermyn, former MP for Bury St Edmunds #otd in Rushbrook #Suffolk. It was Jermyn's influence that secured William Bedell #translator of the Bible to #Irish & Provost of TCD the bishoprics of Kilmore & Ardagh (eebo/Emmanuel, Cambridge)

It was all looking very surreal this evening in #suffolk 😍

(I love when the sky is this colour, reminds me of the film Vanilla Sky and of the Shadow of the Beast 2 Game Over screen from way back when)

Snow covered garden with a frozen pond in the foreground and a summer house in the back. The sky is a beautiful blue pink hue.

Beast 2 game over screen. Shows a man kneeling down with a ray of pink light piercing his chest. The sky is pink blue.

White stuff! Falling from the sky!

Cats don't seem too bothered. 🤣

Parkrunners in #Ipswich #Suffolk are officially told not to take the piss (it seems folk are shameless enough to piss in the open just to gain a few seconds on their run, even though this is an actual criminal offence)

3 Jan 1561: b. John Bois at Nettlestead #Suffolk translator of Apocrypha in Authorised Version of #Bible As he was the only one who took notes of the process, much of our knowledge of how the translation worked is down to him.

Stunning sunset this evening. Photos never do it justice.

View across a rooftop at sunset with trees silhouetted against the sky. The lower part of the sky is a deep, streaky orange hue which briefly changes to pink, then purple and finally blue in the entire top half of the picture.

East Cliff, Felixstowe, England between ca. 1890 and ca. 1900. Views of the British Isles England Felixstowe

The image depicts a scenic coastal landscape with historical significance. On the left side, there's a sandy beach lined with rows of small wooden huts or cabins, indicative of early seaside holiday accommodations. The middle ground shows calm waters extending towards the horizon where sailboats and other vessels can be seen in smaller scale. A prominent feature is a steep cliff on the right that descends to meet the sea; it appears weathered and eroded with patches of vegetation clinging to its surface.

A wooden fence runs along part of the crest, beyond which several houses are nestled among greenery. Above this residential area rises an embankment or promenade where people can be seen walking, suggesting a leisurely atmosphere common in seaside towns. The overall colors suggest it's either late afternoon with warm hues casting over everything or early morning as light is gentle but not overly bright.

The image has the look of a vintage photograph due to its coloration and quality; sepia tones dominate which was typical for photographs printed on paper before the mid-20th century. In terms of geographical context, Felixstowe is located in Suffolk, England, known historically as East Anglia. The precise date isn't clear but places like this were popular holiday spots from Victorian times into early 1900s.

I actually got a partially useful AI search result - managed to get small list of fatal #RTCs for this year (not whole year, understandable due to reporting restrictions) which I could then cross reference with news reports to make sure they were correct (and that cross-border incidents in #Suffolk weren't inadvertently included)

From looking at these I don't think the old bill are lying or exaggerating, there really *is* a problem with bad #driving across #Essex at the moment, of which a significant portion is likely fuelled by blatant intoxication behind the wheel

This region really is becoming the "#Florida of #Britain"....

#RoadSafety #UK

Earlier report from September mentions 48 fatalities, with 25 of them resulting in CPS being notified for possible criminal charges against driver (who must have survived the #crash - dead people can't be put up before crown/magistrates #Court , incidents like this are usually mentioned at HM Coroner inquests at a later date)

So already 10 further in just a couple of months, which is rather a lot ( #Suffolk usually has less than half the body count)

4 of these deaths are from #Colchester #RTC earlier in the year where #EssexUniversity students crashed their #FordFocus ST into a building due to #alcohol rather than #drugs (but still completely avoidable)

Hopefully this is knocked on the head - its a daft idea to build a primary school in the middle of town when there aren't even that many kids being born to fill it, and would cause all manner of #transport problems..

The Council can also then re-open the useful and affordable car park that was behind the old Co-op and was closed down for the construction site
