At 185 mph maximum sustained winds, Cat 5 Hurricane #Melissa is now just 7 mph shy of what @michaelfwehner.bsky.social r.bsky.social & Jim Kossin have defined as the cutoff for a prospective "Cat 6" hurricane:

Absolutely delighted to catch up with Xenographics, an initiative of @maartenzam.bsky.social. It was a big thing on Twitter some 4-5 years ago and I wish that the conversation would carry over on Bluesky. 📊

Hi. It's me. 2 weeks later. This is done. 58 frames over 3 seconds, *50* layers in the final image. WOO. This was a long edit, felt like ACTUAL work so unless I get it again with the actual sunset I doubt I'll be editing more like this. Psyched for the final piece tho! 🪶

Three pelicans diving after sunset, with a sailboat and a tanker in the distance, 2 terns also fly, the pelicans are shown in their dive motion

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

So here it is: my dumb data viz experiment. 🍩

✔️ Solves the continuity problem
❌ Harder to spot patterns
❌ Hours are visually distorted

But hey… not everything has to be practical, sometimes it’s just fun! 😅 Also: how cool would it be to create a physical object like this?

Sentinel Hub works like that, which was acquired by Planet, where Rob and I were colleagues. It seems like a nice paradigm, bit interfaces are clunky and very limiting
