pretty cool project! noticed there seems to be an issue w/ duplicate infra based on different sources (i.e. OSM and HIFLD depict the same transmission line but with different geometry/detail/# of lines)

Trans friends, thank you for being you, and for, when you can, sharing yourselves with a world that is so frequently undeserving of the light you bring to it. I love and support you, always. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂🫶

chat is this bad

this explains a lot

Less than a year after Lockheed's Precision Strike Missile entered low-rate production, CENTCOM used the weapon to hit a rec center and school, killing 21 civilians including young girls playing volleyball. Story w/ my friend and colleague @trbrtc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

scored an incredible deal on an astron which is the last piece of (non ian manufactured) kit i needed to add a new radio to the rack

I would love for journalists to look into this fairly low-level overflight of 101st Airborne attack helicopters over the downtown Nashville #NoKings rally. Does the 101st often fly that path through downtown Nashville? If not, why there and then? Was this deliberate?

This piece is probably as close as Ezra Klein will ever come to saying “AI is loser shit” and I appreciate it www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

We are doing our best.

Highly valuable U.S. E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft described as ‘damaged’ by an Iranian missile. That counts as ‘destroyed’ when viewed objectively

the race was fun but honestly this performance was the coolest thing i've seen on an f1 broadcast in years

The Japanese national anthem as performed by Yoshiki #F1

This is an enemy of the Constitution bragging about its destruction

watertown turned out on this rudely cold morning!

thoughts on today: 1) the protests are good, actually 2) you should go to one of you can 3) it will do you good to see how many other people also hate this guy 4) you might meet people who you can organize with 5) there are more of us than there are of them 6) we are going to win

see you there

Thank Gandalf It’s Friday

STRATCOM commander echoes DOE assessment that there is no need for the US to conduct explosive nuclear weapons tests. www.reuters.com/world/nomine... As we suspected, Trump’s claim US must begin nuclear tests is political grandstanding, not a national security requirement.

Plenty of No Kings options in the East Bay Tomorrow. Pick your Protest!

ah i see ptc is atc zero again, yeesh

It’s always interesting to see which subjects Meta will refuse to do content moderation on because “free speech,” and which content moderation the CEO will volunteer to do in advance to curry favor. In this case it was “naming a DOGE employee”

From Dan Carlin’s latest post- substack.com/home/post/p-...

this is absurd spin Ds got no new limits on ICE lawlessness. The only win is that Ds aren't voting to fund Trump's ICE/CBP Gestapo. Which is good! But neither side caved.

The use of the word “attacked” in this headline is stunningly irresponsible. If you read other, less click-bait accounts of this incident: it was alleged drone *sightings*. And I remain VERY unconvinced sightings like these are even drones, instead of “jumpy people getting confused.”

The @CAGeoSurvey is working with @caloes.bsky.social to create tools and information to help the public & emergency officials understand their tsunami risk & how to prepare for the next tsunami. Learn more about our Cal OES tsunami partner here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq_p... #tsunami

Staff drafting agreement to reopen almost all of DHS but likely leaving out a significant portion of ICE (ERO + HSI) and CBP funding. No reforms for immigration enforcement This will largely end the DHS shutdown after 41ish days because the Trump administration is still sitting on money for ICE/CBO

NEW FROM ME: In the latest chapter of "Everything that touches ICE turns into ICE," hundreds of federal air marshals have secretly replaced ICE agents on ICE flights since last summer -- leaving both commercial air travel and ICE Air less safe. gillianbrockell.com/extremely-da...

regrettably once again lifting weights has fixed me, big dumbbell can't keep getting away with this

as a boots on the ground resilience/preparedness person, cannot stress enough just how fragile our emergency management structures are right now things have never felt more precarious and I feel like all the alarm bells are going off but not enough people can hear them yet

it feels like a lot of EM practitioners do not have the bandwidth or appetite to confront the realities of our polycrisis era and it is unfortunate

The upshot: Gas utilities are cutting into their own upfront and ongoing profits because they see the Gulf energy crisis as a strategic threat to their customer count. So where are their competitors? I'm not seeing any emergency electrification incentives to meet the moment. (2/2)

there's a ton of news re: heat/drought on the west coast that is concerning from a fire perspective, I'm curious why we're not seeing it show up in the Significant Wildland Fire Potential products.... Is this because downstream fire impacts for CA are further out (Aug - Oct) or something else?

[standing guy meme] i think homophobia as a comms strategy should be an automatic disqualifier for higher office

I cannot stress enough how true this thread is. You are never too old to transition, and the rewards far outweigh the challenges. If you want to transition, you can try it for a weekend, a week, a month. And then, if you are not feeling it, you can always quit.

I personally don't find this persuasive at all.

Something I've noticed about all of these "This is a slippery slope that's going to wreck the open internet!" arguments is that they take as a given that the "open internet" of 2026 is good or a status quo we should want to preserve.

FYSA, looks like Valero is burning off something this morning, an advisory was previously issued for planned flaring

this is cool but the 30 day trial aspect of this is confusing... if we're doing bundling, that should be more than a promotional discount for a single month

so we were scheduled for a Tsunami warning test yesterday, does anyone know why the NWS internal message just went out 30 minutes ago? is this a different element of the same test, an error, or a mysterious third thing?

I admit I am not a PhD physicist, but, nuclear suicide vests are not a thing.

this is not how RDDs work, so stupid
