When you're grabbing images for #mapillary and you pass a brewery, you have to stop. Rules are rules.

How was not even a yellow card given in the last 3 mins of that half? #USMNT

Taking my family there this week!

I've played through this game so many times.

... And even better when I see folks I wouldn't expect staring at the game. Am I contributing less interpersonal conversations? Sure. But love seeing the soccer support.

My biggest accomplishment the last few months has been going to breweries/sports bars and asking them to switch from perpetual ESPN to whatever major soccer game is on that DAY. #EURO2025 #ClubWorldCup #MLS

Is that Nic Cage?

I probably shouldn't have read the alt-text 🤦

hire more geographers please

Saw the screening last night, loved it! Thanks for the fresh take on the story!

AN AMERICAN PILOT HAS FLOWN HIS PLANE INTO THE MOUTH OF THE ALIEN SHIP WITH A LIVE MISSILE AND TRIGGERED A MASSIVE EXPLOSION!!

Honestly, kinda rooting for the aliens right now.

When your work and hobbies align, that's a special day.

1. Work for satellite company.
2. Like hockey.
3. Collect sports cards.
4. Spend too much time on eBay

Satellite themed set of Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey cards.

Cadbury egg? Probably closer to the temp of a Hot Pocket though.

@camillacaros.bsky.social I just had a National Grid smart meter installed on my house and feel the need to call Gil.

@1996id4.bsky.social how does President Whitmore feel about these tariffs?

@wisemana.bsky.social maps on the Nats new city connect. Guess I should have bought a cherry blossom one when I had a chance.

Who what when where why not be our Valentine?

I am not a Bills fan but I will take any excuse to make wings paired with a Blue Light

Had always been interested in maps. My dad worked in emergency management and that gave a great foundation for me using spatial data for response. The tools though...always have to stay nimble, there's plenty to learn!

Exactly this.

I like the Aaron Glenn hire by the Jets but why have they not yet hired a GM? Knowing them, they'll hire someone who clashes with Glenn and fires him within a year.

Fingers crossed that Ghost Rider saves the day

Map showing the number of times a location has burned in SoCal and which kind of fire it was: one burning under Santa Ana winds, or one that was a summer, fuel-driven fire without Santa Ana winds. Malibu area had burned at least 8 times from 1900-2017, and has burned twice now since. Image from Kolden and Abatzoglou (2018): https://www.mdpi.com/2571-6255/1/2/19

Here's the reality about the #LAFires this week: this isn't the first time ANY of these places have burned. Not even close. In 2018, we mapped CA fire history to look at fire frequency across SoCal. Santa Monica Mtns area burns more than anywhere else -- up to once per decade in a given spot. 🧵

@josemonkey.bsky.social have you used Mapillary in any of your videos? Wouldn't have helped with your Egypt find, but sometimes helps when Streetview fails.

Ugh, so close

Journey’s End Nearly five years ago, I completed a project that, to my mind, remains the most significant of my cartographic career: An Atlas of Great Lakes Islands, manually printed in cyanotype, with a hand-st…

New on the blog, "Journey's End": somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2024/12/27/j.... In which my atlas comes home.

Nothing like it!
