Oh my god you fucking simpleton, the CA is for California. Ontario, CA is in San Bernardino County.
Naomi Wolf quoting a tweet from local journalist @katnbcla "The CA National Guard arrived to Ontario airport tonight, ready to deploy and support law enforcement in Los Angeles - re-enforcing the message 'looting will not be tolerated.'" and a picture of a Humvee saying "So Canada and Mexico have sent in military or National Guard? It's an invasion, people, it's a war."

So, Bluesky Has An Extortion Problem
An apparent extortion scheme lit up Bluesky the other night. It raises some important questions about whether Bluesky is up to the task of moderation.

Satellites in a “sun-synchronous” orbit travel over a spot on Earth at the same time each overpass—neatly illustrated by this sequence of Sentinel-2 images showing a ferry approaching the Greek island of Santorini just before noon EEST over several weeks in the summer of ’24.

🛰️🖼️
Sequence of 6 satellite images arranged in a 2-column, 3-row grid, each showing a ferry approaching the Greek island of Santorini. The images are mostly blue open ocean, with a boat and wake moving from left to right across the center of each image. There are slivers of brown land on the top and bottom edges of each image. Screen captures from the Copernicus Browser.

That Foursquare POI dataset is crap. Sure there's nice tech around hosting, downloading and visualizing it, but it's still crap data from a stalker app.

It's called bluesky, but here's the bluewater. After Google Maps most recent redesign, the new "water" color is.. different. So I thought: why not compare them all?

Additions are welcome. Use the color picker tool from your browser on any webmap and send the hex.

United States of Natural Disasters by Atlas Guo

cartoguophy.com/maps/us_natu...
This map presents an innovative and comprehensive visualization of U.S. natural disasters of various types, allowing the map readers to acquire information from both overview and spatial-semantic specific perspectives. The major eye-catching element in this map would be the multivariate symbol design. To evenly divide the space with rooms for multiple visual vehicles, the hexagon unit is chosen, which also balances the functionality and aesthetics. The general idea is to split each hexagon unit into 6 parts (or 7, including the central one), associated with different color hue all around the color wheel. Due to the natural of different colors, the lightness (HSL) or value (HSV) are carefully controlled to minimize the other potential variations as visual variable.

As long as your favorite social media is backed by VCs, be prepared for digital nomadism every so often. This Platform just took it's first step towards demise, no matter what feel-good message they're telling you.

VCs are in it for the money, not for altruism. pump and dump, and you're the stock
