I made it to the public comment on the final updates to the Seattle One / General Plan yesterday afternoon. For those who did more than show up 👏🏼 😊 What an incredibly long hard journey. Urbanists agree it doesn’t go far enough, but at least we survived. Let’s all go hug a tree. 🌲

The stupid is just wearisome.

Hmm so this is interesting. I’m curious to track down the primary source to see what the African Union actually says, since @theguardian.com is a bit off in the reporting here…

Chat “geo folks” GPT helped me come up with algorithms for custom label placement. I guess asking how to draw radial lines outward from a center point called “brc_man” was a bit of a tell…

ChatGPT is “geo folks” apparently, and thus already knows all about Black Rock City (I did not mention that is what I’m mapping) … #burningman #rstats #cartography #gischat

The #bunnies are WILD #caphill this summer. What about the rest of #seattle?

Pulled some older footage captured in 2022 to compare to now. Never have been in the market with so many others. A million times better and no going back now.

DUMMYMANDER (n): A gerrymander that has narrow margins to electorally benefit the gerrymandering party and has a high probability of backfiring. AS IN, dear friends in Texas: there is not further the GOP can go to dice left-leaning voters out of existence, or they would.

Finally! Got this uploaded to Bluesky! My favorite photo. I shot this in 2014 in Seattle: the Space Needle as seen from the Chihulu sculpture garden at the Seattle Center. Title: City of Tomorrow. Hope you like it.

Yale University economists forecast that the #bigbeautifulbill 💩 will cost the bottom 20% of taxpayers $560 a year while giving a boost of $6,055 to those at the top end, on average, reported in Bloomberg.

Check out my recent redesign of a trail map in an urban watershed near Gaithersburg #MoCo MD. Compared with the maps, redesign is: ✅ More informative and easier to use ✅ Self-hosted and built with open source tools ✅ Integrates into a Wordpress site #cartography #openstreetmap #maps #uiux

Love this globular map of London from 1943, illustrating social and functional zones

A fascinating map from @donnermaps.bsky.social overlaying Tuesday's Dem primary results with a map of the NYC subway system. Inspired by an astute observation from @kleinman.bsky.social, who noted that Mamdani did better in areas served by the subway while Cuomo did better in car-centric areas.

Sold! For $117,000. David Lynch’s original map drawing of #TwinPeaks. Treasure it always, lucky auction winner.

If you've hiked or rode this trail from #Gaithersburg to the #PotamacRiver in #MontgomeryCounty, MD, let me know what you think! 🐴 🚴‍♂️ 🥾 🗺️ I'll be presenting about it in Boston @stateofthemapus.bsky.social on Fri 6/20, it's a fun conference so if you're local, come say hi!

The Muddy Branch Watershed Alliance in #MontgomeryCounty, MD has an overwhelming amount of map on their website: Eight (8!) separate Google Maps mashups detailing the watershed and every section of the greenspace trail 🥾 🔎 🗺️ muddybranch.org/maps/ ( 1 / 3 )

But can we know it happened if there isn’t a massive crowd of screaming fanboys in a testosterone fueled fugue? www.theverge.com/news/689183/...

Every podcast in my feed is rushing to comment on the current man fued. This is a time capsule to my future self: was it worth our attention?

Brass bands all weekend at Honk Fest West but I only took one picture… #seattle

Cascade PBS is leaving X: Seattle’s PBS station, @cascadepbsnewsroom.bsky.social announces that today is their last day on X (formerly Twitter).

Wow this class warfare vibe just keeps vibing, not in a good way:

Oh you didn’t hear. Lemme catch you up. TLDR fundamentalists from Spokane are coming to our homes to spew hate from sound stages and accuse our mayor of being something exceptional or radical, which he is not.

Vancouver is wild y’all
