Somewhere in the future, in a dictionary the definition of hypocrisy will show Trump posting an image saying "remember your oath".

Unable to mass fire Feds, Vought’s tactic is to starve agencies and programs of funds, in a variety of (likely) illegal ways. You’ll see more of this as the fiscal year progresses. This administration must be removed and prosecuted for all illegal activity.

If Donald Trump was really "America first," he'd stop billionaire corporations from cheating the U.S. government out of taxes.
Instead, he's adding tax loopholes to let them off the hook and raising costs for everyone else.

so, all that is missing for a working geospatial conda env in Python 3.14 (using conda-forge) is to resolve a requirements mismatch between #rioxarray and #geopandas : gist.github.com/michaelaye/1... (both failing on osx-arm64 and linux-64.)

Here’s an annotated version of our comet image.
We also want to thank our downlink and uplink teams who spent a huge amount of time working on this. Our camera was not designed to image interstellar objects 19 million miles away, but their hard work and planning paid off.

Trust me, you don’t need the alpro barista milk for a nice vegan cappuccino. The standard “not milk” (1.5 % fat here) is doing foam just fine. The barista has more sugar in it though, in case you fancy that.

@anacondainc.bsky.social is there an issue with the repodata servers? I see degradations of CDN cloning and Azure DevOps on the status page. My symptom is that conda update times out when trying to stream the repodata.

Life would have been so much simpler if our brains responded the same way all the time. But they don't. Even the time of day may affect how we respond to something. Perception of that time of day, is regulated in turn by neuromodulators, like adenosine. 🧪
