The president is not the one who needs a dementia test, the people who voted for him are! 🙃
So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

What has happened to Andrew’s dukedom and is he still a prince?
The King’s brother has stopped using his Duke of York title to prevent further distraction from the work of the King and the royal family.

I heard the phrase "the independent nation of the State of Texas" in an academic talk today and am now trying to think of ways to insert this into all my conversations.

Recently had the chance to do a little GIS analysis for a KQED (NPR) Bay Curious podcast on the Stairways of San Francisco. Should have been a story about the triumph of GIS, ended up being more about the failure of geospatial data 🙃 But it was fun to do anyway!

I have to confess something, as a cartographer who has loved maps and map making since childhood... I really don't care for the Tolkien maps as published w his books. They get way too much adoration in our profession 🫣 His personal/working sketches are far more interesting and organic. #cartography

Charlie Kirk was a shitty person with some terrible ideas about the world. He did not deserve to be killed for those ideas, but he certainly doesn't deserve to be re-cast as national hero and role model. He was neither. Source: The Guardian "Charlie Kirk in his own words".
