I've been working on a side project testing flood data from FEMA & other sources of open data from the USG (i.e., the data we all pay for with our taxes). My goal is to make flood info easily accessible. I've launched HydraAtlas (avail on iOS), lmk what you think!

live look at American Air trying to fix a broken Boeing radio. TBH these planes are garbage and I always try to fly Airbus. Boeing is a joke of a company; their execs should be in prison. Time to retire the entire fleet. If you own Boeing stock, sell now before it goes to zero

Hi friends - I've been working on a small side quest to create a geography guessing game. It started with my curiosity about the locations of U.S. Universities. I've added other categories like Capitals and National Parks. I'd love it if you gave it a try and sent me some feedback!

What’s it called when you visit a city, and then contemplate moving there, and this happens a few times per year? Currently in Charleston SC which might be the most charming city in America.

In the previous administrations, news like this got national attention, and we all helped those in need.
In 2025, we have DOGE, which laid people off and made huge cuts at NOAA (weather), FEMA (emergency response), NASA (climate), and more.
This is just the beginning, storm season is on the way

In response to some new mappers wanting to pitch in to help first responders in Myanmar, I created a quick tutorial for beginners using OpenStreetMap and HOTOSM tasks. Let's get mapping. #MyanmarEarthquake #Myanmar www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaQj...

instead of my hard earned US tax dollars going towards humanitarian assistance in Myanmar, I am now paying for publicity stunts for vance in Greenland, and golfing for a felon in Florida. Yes, I’m pissed. 😡

re: highly sensitive and classified information being shared on Signal, without knowing who is on the group chat: this might be the worst breach of OPSEC in US History. Our armed forces were directly exposed and thank goodness they weren't shot down or captured. Everyone on that chat should be fired

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

What does it say when this administration immediately cuts 1) foreign aid 2) science 3) NASA & NOAA 4) education 5) National Parks 6) museums and 7) libraries?
These were the targets.
Not defense spending, not the broken health care system, not for-profit prisons, not lobbyists.

Just to clear up the #facts: Trump got 49.81% of the popular vote, Harris 48.34%.
I'm sure most of the Trump 49% wanted smaller govt, but I'm guessing they did NOT want what Musk is recklessly doing: firing thousands of critical workers and veterans, putting the millions of people globally at risk

Amidst all the tragic setbacks happening in the U.S. scientific community, take 3min and watch this beautiful lunar landing by the Blue Ghost spacecraft. IMO, perhaps one of the most awe-inspiring recordings I've watched. Congrats Firefly Aerospace. Ad Astra. ✨🌙
