You'd be correct to assume that.

#dataviz #maps A fabulous way to explore #history interactively:
Choose topics (wars, inventions, discoveries, literature), time periods, ... and see what pops up.

Writing ArcPy and realizing that having \n in a filepath creates a new line during parsing, which means you have to rename all files to not start with "n" because who decided filenames contained within quotes should be parsed that way???
Taxpayers spent millions to train diplomats in critical skills and key languages like Chinese, Arabic, and Russian. Then the State Department fired 250 of them. How's that for "strategic?"
From the data we've collected from fired State employees, here's what was lost on 7/11:
β20 Chinese speakers
β17 Russian/Ukrainian speakers
β14 Arabic speakers
β4 Farsi speakers
β4 Korean speakers
And thatβs only a partial list.
At a time of shifting alliances, we've traded expertise for chaos.
Death is an inevitable fact of life
For the first time in 24 years I am "migraine free" (average <1/month).
I used to average 3-4 per week.
The worst part? What works is a medication I tried as a teenager that I know works, but was too expensive to continue at the time.
At least I'm migraine free now.
If the minor hallucination rate is >5% it's worth noting.
How much have you tested so far?

At least they tried to include Wyoming?
The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting.
Did you see what Columbia University paid???
If they respond with anything less the secret police will show up...
Wow

Twelve polar stereographic maps showing 2-m air temperature anomalies in the Arctic from April 2025 to March 2025. Blue shading is shown for colder anomalies, and red shading is shown for warmer anomalies. All months are warmer than average overall. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.
The patterns of temperature anomalies across the #Arctic region over the last 12 months...
Data using @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5 reanalysis with a 1981-2010 reference period.

There are some great resources through the Harvard Medical School Library :)
When it comes to CoS, do not talk about it online. I say that with love.
Looking forward to it! You're in the Boston Area?
Oh, it's a very arguable statement. It's better to follow the wikipedia rabbit hole, I promise. I'm trying not to get myself on any more watchlists.
There's a lot to unpack here. The CoS are harmful to their members and the public (ask the people of Clearwater, FL). Most religions are not harmful to their members or the public.
We can fall down a rabbit hole that's not safe to talk about online/in text, so: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult
As fun as a protest against their tax exempt status would be, right now is not a great time because it would distract from the Bernie Sanders to Actual Murder-Fascism pipeline that's been rehearsed twice already and is playing out a third time as we speak.
How uninformed does someone have to be to assume everyone with the same last name is a direct relative of the other?
Last names, especially post immigration from non-English speaking countries, are complicated and people are apparently very very very ignorant.
