Just brilliant

Best thing to happen in the UK in 50yrs

Perfect

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

If you have performed any applied risk analysis related to open data then here's your chance to present about it for 7 minutes during NY Climate Week! See link. #NYCclimateweek #NYclimateweek #geospatial #risk #opendata open.substack.com/pub/geospati...

How the fuck is this worth $110? At Target

Sue the ever living fuck out of them

Jesus fucking Christ what a pack of beastly imbeciles

“We have bears, coyotes and snakes around here, but by far the biggest safety concern for me with my kids is cars.”

I love this as a concept for spatial analysis

Mail in the US is solely for the purpose of spamming credit cards multiple times a week

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

Randomly chosen suburban house. It is more than 50yrs old. It has a huge lawn front and back with no privacy. All told, $4800/month payments. Rentable though for $3000. That means the $1800 difference can be invested at 6% over 30 years =$1.7m. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

My schooling involved documentaries about South America where men were disappeared, tortured etc. now a South American man is talking about that in the U.S. Land of the free? Justice? Rule of law? Decency? Well of course not. Because it was the U.S. that sponsored those regimes.

Car and plane industries buy off congress. No action on high speed rail.

Hey #Seattle folks, I’ll be giving a talk at the Georgetown Steam Plant next month. Maps! Nostalgia! Climate change. www.eventbrite.com/e/an-evening...

Next episode is about True Flood Risk with Shelly Klose. Flood risk tools miss a crucial detail: where your floor starts. That’s why True Flood Risk puts First Floor Elevation (FFE) first. 🎥 youtu.be/FAEQy1RPoao 🎙️ open.spotify.com/episode/58ya... ✒️ www.geospatial.fm/p/true-flood...

Fuck me. Trump met Melania on Epstein’s plane.

The Biden administration spent $800,000 on high energy biscuits that were to be distributed to children through USAID. Now, they are set to expire, and the Trump administration is spending $130,000 to burn them instead of distributing them. Waste, fraud, and abuse

Hey there guys! Good morning!

When basic errands like grabbing a few groceries feel impossible without a car, it says more about the design of our cities than about individual choice.

@henkvanhoutum.bsky.social's book Free The Map is the next episode. It was the most impactful episode I have ever recorded. It led to several months of bitter reflections and public testimony about what I witnessed in Cambodia and Kuwait, recorded in this playlist: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5f8...

*fucking

The deal? Yum! Brands would only by from farms that had signed on to a fair food program with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. They'd pay extra for those tomatoes, and the extra $ would be passed through directly to tomato pickers as a raise. This deal nearly doubled tomato pickers' wages.

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

If anything I’d have thought bluesky people would like open source more than others

“whose only purpose is to serve white leftist performance” I hope I am not such a wanker

Finally making some progress mentally on this NEOM case. The five men on death row can’t be saved by anyone including me. They lost their appeal. So I am removing the pressure from myself to avert that. They will likely be beheaded, the most common form of execution in Saudi.

Dan, Bigman Geophysical, says how archaeology and ground penetrating radar can be used for crime scene investigation. It was gruesome, but a good illustration of how our broader discipline benefits society. ✒️ www.geospatial.fm/p/bigman-geo... 🎙️ open.spotify.com/episode/7Ixb... 🎥 youtu.be/ZIb2ClKvPAE
