Sources close to Jared and Ivanka say that, privately, the couple disapproves of shooting unarmed motorists in the face.

Apparently they have a web page for this. www.hilton.com/en/hilton-ho...

It’s a Clicktatorship.

This day is tough... especially on the 5 year anniversary of Jan 6, the first year since the insurrectionist-in-chief has returned to the WH and blanket pardoned his fellow insurrectionists. We're in an awful spot here... Apropos of nothing, an oldie but goodie timeline cleanse: wapo.st/4q467De

Does #gischat have insight into freely available movement data sources with hourly/daily temporal resolution?

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.

Any @openstreetmap.bsky.social experts care to weigh in about how to handle the name update of the United States Institute for Peace in OSM? #GISChat

One of those updates that I wish we wouldn't make on #OpenStreetMap Is it official? I think it is in the eyes of the US gov't but not the general public. www.openstreetmap.org/relation/146...

Parker nails it, as always.

Continued evidence that life's just a scam: A company* that spends more than $60B to create a thing that nobody wants is rewarded when it announces it will pump the brakes on the thing. *that knows its harmful for kids; contributed to genocide; is a general cesspool

This is a wild ride: The "Forbidden Island" which is 160 sq km in area and has less than 100 residents. It is technically part of Kauai County but maintains its isolation with no paved roads, running water, or electricity. Owned by Sinclair family since the 1860s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ni%CA%B...

On a roadtrip I stayed at a historic hotel which was in total disarray after hosting a 4-day retreat of #Blackstone I had to look up more to learn more about this group, whose CEO Stephen Schwarzman is worth ~$48 Billion. Plutocrats gonna plute...moving with the political winds...

Again, not the most important here, but I'm begging for a journalist to figure out how/why NPS put up a Confederate statue DURING A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. How is this "essential" when food stamps are not?
