Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. #Iran

Things are pretty much measurably worse. Observably. Choose your language. Things ain’t better. Not that anything was perfect. Real structural change would be nice. But in terms of the here-and-now? Yikes.

How to Create a Spinning Globe 🌍 with Your Own Data Layers (No Coding Required)

In this step-by-step tutorial, you'll see how to build an interactive spinning globe, overlay raster and vector data layers, and visualize datasets directly in your browser or in a Jupyter Notebook environment.

Just stop. The war, that is. Just stop. That's the ethical perspective I bring to the current circumstance. Kinda easy if kept that simple? I say it is.

Count me among those thinking that no military tactical or strategic purpose was achieved by killing those Iranian sailors. We should not have done it. Full stop.

@sarahburnes.bsky.social! (And yes. This post pure spousal amplification/support. Nothing but. SB represents the author and this book. So it’s wonderful for me to see their joint success. Xoxo)

CO2 and pals for the Win! Wheeeeeee!

Sheep’s Meadow in Central Park. Just now. Still a lot of snow! #nyc

Quick example of local processing of 2 million + triples related to Pompeii. As noted, needs more documentation!! But @epoehler.bsky.social and I intend this as sustainable infrastructure encouraging re-use of our data. #Pompeii #ReproducibleReserch #OA #AncientSky

Dude sure seems to like foreign wars.

Can we raise $50,000 to pay Homan to stop the violence and killing?

American lives are as valuable as any other lives. Why is the US Government killing *any* of us? Stop now.

If of interest...

I am proudly and permanently partnered up with a wine mom. Do not mess with @sarahburnes.bsky.social!

Another opportunity to note that more people voted for someone other than Trump than voted for him. Under 50% in 2024. Never had a mandate. Now unpopular.

NYTimes update that seems to downplay crowd size.

The @nytimes.com isn’t quite capturing this. “gathered at the corner”?? I do hope they update!

So it is!!!!! Thank you!!!! (I’m sure the speakers in the session I’m chairing thank you as well!!!!)

#aiascs. I should know this: What’s the code for WiFi access in conference area? Assuming there is one??

Hey, @nytimes.com, I should not have to scroll to get to this story. Bump it up.

Five slides.

My #AIASCS talk is "Roman Art within Afroeurasia" as part of the panel "Still Defining Roman Art" org'd by P. de Staebler and Anne Hrychuk Kontokosta. It's a series of five minute talks then discussion. Here are my very few slides in miniature form. Friday at 2PM. Come if you can. #AIASCS2026

To the extent SCOTUS put their fingers in the wind and realized we don’t want our cities occupied on a whim by federalized troops, I’m glad they took account of popular opinion. Just another day in Chicago (or NYC, where I am) doesn’t an emergency make. Let us be. Immigrants and all.

The Schroda site in South Africa produced many anthropomorphic figurines of C. 1000 CE. There's existing literature: njas.fi/njas/article... . But not great directly linkable images. I did start a Schroda wiki page as a stub: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schroda... . Am I missing another resource?

He didn't get a majority of votes (49.8%), is pardoning drug kingpins, killing fishermen, making our lives more expensive (health care and tariffs), and is less-and-less popular by the day. We keep that all in mind.

Great read. Thanks for posting the full text.

Publication day! I spent so long building a mahoosive dataset and GIS that it would be a waste not to share the results. The Greeks didn't build many amphitheatres, but gladiatorial epigraphy has been found on huge numbers. Where did eastern gladiators fight?

Bit of info. Most rooms have no labels as prohibited by deed. Still… A great museum.
