Meanwhile, to support conservation-focused research & mgmt we developed a new 30-m rez polygon data layer of the nonlacustrine & nonriverine islands of the United States. The conservation importance of islands is disproportionate to their total area!

Ew ew ew ew ew. I recognize their attempt was to put mar a Lago in the center of the map but they got it wrong and I'm pretty sure that lands somewhere in Alabama... Do better

Just seen the logo for this new Board of Peace. Amateurish, to put it politely - and that's just the cartography.
The logo for President Chump’s so-called “Board of Peace,” which appears to have been hastily assembled in MS Paint. Its dominant colour is, predictably, gold. At the centre is a basic outline of a shield bearing a globe depicting North America, along with parts of South America and Greenland. The map commits a fundamental cartographic error, awkwardly mixing a cylindrical projection with curved lines of longitude and latitude. The entire composition is encircled by garish golden olive branches.
