Taking time this afternoon to try and do some product photos of a recent map of Dupont Circle. *Man* I need to buy some house plants. #CreativeCarto

well, apparently that bot is from an app that makes ai agents that randomly die, so there's that.

I'm too far away to get there, but truly jealous of anyone around NYC that can mourn at the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Broadway tonight. They still have a bunch of tickets, some for just $66!

I really don't like point cluster maps*, but am making a slippy map that's for something where multiple points at the same location should be visible. Here's one solution (offsetting the points equidistant from the origin), curious how folks feel about it.

Ahoy! I'm visiting Iceland next week for a minute. Would love to hear recommendations for must-sees, must-hikes, must eats, and especially if anyone knows of any Icelandic cartos or artists that might want to meet up!

I thought this was a neat little experiment, but yikes. People critiquing your project *is* them contributing. I'm sure some people are less polite about it than others, but this thumbing of the nose with a heap of "DIE DINOSAURS" is incredibly off-putting.

I'll bite on this – it's good manners. Makes sure if the map travels people know who and what created it. Same reason folks throw a byline on most news maps, company logo, and cite sources on the maps themselves. Accountability in the chance it's found somewhere other than your blog.

I'm ok with Instagram eating Snapchat's lunch and the ease at which you can share pictures there, but every time I interact with their linking-out policies I just want to delete the whole thing. Absolutely asinine roadblocks intentionally designed for inconvenience.

Scary elevators, scary STD's that either turn you into a zombie or get you chased by a ghost that's horrible at it's job, and scary out-of-towners visit the Midwest. Spooky #LetterboxdFriday

Happy #LetterboxdFriday Full spectrum: viral youtube character directing/starring in his own film (yet fine!) to orphan 18th century Venice girls creating glorious modern music, to an epic biopic on an Egyptian superstar Umm Kulthum, to a whodunit where the detective is dull and does nothing. Phew.

Moriarty Maps @moriartymaps.com · 24/04/2026

Happy #LetterboxdFriday Lotsa good stuff lately. Risa and the Wind Phone, an Argentine film, which is the most Miyazaki-coded live-action flick I've seen in a minute. Also a docu on Eva Cassidy, a DMV local with a powerhouse voice, died tragically young, and who's music went global soon after

Still remember a guy from my US History class in high school who was adamant the death penalty was necessary and good and that he'd be accept being erroneously sentenced personally because more often they'd get it right. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

A great visual, indeed, but it could use a few more arches methinks.

Granted when your parents can afford college tuition for K-12, and that this is what they're focusing on, does feel like a fairly self-selecting crowd that's going to succeed for reasons outside of education.

Been a fan of this map for awhile: "Monarchs and Queens" from Rebecca Solnit's Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas. Juxtaposes butterfly habitats and queer spaces in SF.

Man, these generated art sites are depressing as hell. Easy to detect (who made these? dodgey on materials, sprouted out of nowhere last year, etc.), but hope no one's actually fooled by these. Buy local, folks!

In 2011, I was among a group that got invited to Jackson's congregation. Snapped this picture of him digging into some McDonald's. Always been a favorite - living history, casually enjoying some lunch.

Glad I got to be a guest of a friend that had worked in the White House and got to watch a so-so Magic show at the Kennedy Center before whatever this is occurs. Pictured here, the mini-fridge, complete with Joe Biden branded kisses.

Some regions have increased their rates, most notably in Maine which newly gained herd immune levels. But yikes at the sea of declines. Even in cities where individual schools have seen gains, they're offset by more consistent drops. wapo.st/49zDc43

In 2019 I put together a similar project at WSJ, would not have guessed how much worse the problem would get in such a short amount of time. Am immensely grateful to the data team at the Post who took on the herculean effort of badgering each state for their data. wapo.st/49zDc43

While in college, during a long weekend hang, myself and buds had the bright idea to improvise a recipe for 'beer pancakes' using Leinenkugel's Berry Weiss. Every time Bari pops in the news I get flashbacks to those, the worst pancakes I've ever eaten.

Well it's not correct but it is a good visual for my feelings towards Blender atm

Current workflow is simplified svg -> import to Blender as curves -> convert to mesh -> weep at what Blender's doing to my boys

Folks who've gone from detailed GIS files to Blender... how on earth do you prep an svg so it can actually become a usable polygon and not a mesh of pain

Highs and lows. Iggy Pop should have had a secondary career as a character actor, Jafar Panahi is a powerhouse director, horror movies should take more risks. #letterboxdfriday
