1 of my GIS Profs started class with "Well, the fed roles you were probably counting on applying to when you finish are gone and not coming back, but here's an internship to map Pikes Peak this summer for $15/hr" Should I be scrambling to reorient my schooling? is there a future in #GIS in the US?

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order. A table version is available here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LZN7QnbSyFfUZJG8Sn1MWpK0VnfBtb0OSyZ1jxP3xBk/edit?usp=sharing

Maybe someday I will make maps as pretty as this.

🧪🛰️ #pollution from the Po river valley in #Italy today extends into the Adriatic sea. While there has been #dust clouds from Libya lately, the pollution signatures are clear in the satellite derived Angstrom Exponent, a proxy for aerosol type (typically pollution has high values, blue colors)

MODIS Aqua visible image showing a haze extending from the Po river valley into the west coast of Italy.

Same image from MODIS sensor with added layers of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and Angstrom Exponent (AE). The AE is the spectral dependance of the AOD as measured at different bands of MODIS. The AE is typically above 1 in pollution plumes. AE is masked for low values of AOD because at these AOD values, the AE derivation is unreliable.

Session 1: after defeating the guards outside the cave last session, the party pushed into Cragmaw Hideout. The rogue was too badly injured to continue (the player withdrew from the campaign). The dice gods did not bless the party and they had to withdraw to Phandalin or be destroyed by Klarg!

Colorado Springs will break 1 Million residents in the near future, and rec spaces will need to adapt away from requiring folks who recreate to drive and park to reach them. Another weight on the scale in favor of more robust public transit in the Pikes Peak Region.

Session 0 was a success! The party departed Neverwinter for Phandalin and ran into some trouble on the way! I also sheepishly realized my minis deserve better storage than they've been getting since being painted.

I've never seen a government sever goodwill from so many of its constituents so confidently.

Entering my "join the community association" era. There are 600 homes in my neighborhood, and I want everyone who lives here to enjoy the benefits of a tight-knit, place-based community. My first proposal: hand tool refurbishing clinic for gardeners. Sandpaper, linseed oil, files and rags.

Asked some friends if they would play D&D with me in the New Year. Looking forward to the kinds of stories we will tell together.

To what lengths will academics and activists have to go in the coming administration to preserve the efforts of the past and protect the efforts of the present? When social networks and institutions are compromised, how do we keep from being reduced to "sending a runner" with a handwritten note?

Things that radicalized me: How Americans nearly destroyed the buffalo to starve the indigenous peoples of the Great Plains. Millions of animals killed and left to rot in the name of Manifest Destiny. Today the Great Plains have lost most of their topsoil, once the deepest and richest soil of all.

In a black and white photo, the skulls of Buffalo are piled at least as high as 5 men, and too wide to see the end of the pile. One man stands at the bottom of the pile with one foot resting on a buffalo skull and one hand leaning against the pile, and another man stands on top of the pile, with a Buffalo skull standing up against his leg.
