#GISChat #EM I created an Emergency Management Starter Pack. Please let me know who else I should add to this list. go.bsky.app/BSKkUJ3
So I have heard a lot about the critical thinking crisis and the lack of ability to read whole books, but I think something else is happening throughout the adult world that isn't just related to teenagers or young adults... And that is.. I think people are becoming intellectually lazy.

#GISChat #Admins when y'all stood up your Enterprise, was there a standard regarding the file types you allowed in portal? I am wondering if I can make a standard for uploading only Geopackages within the Enterprise system..

So my boss often tells me to Chill, or take a deep breath responses I personally consider rude.

Here's the deal: Yes , I am high strung, ya know why? Cause I do everything by the book. I cross the T's and dot the I's and when someone else drops the ball no one says

This was my fault, I am sorry.

#idea It would be cool to make picture books for kids, using maps to teach about geography and the intersection of various social issues or historical significance of a geographic area. #GISChat

#FUCKiCE is it wild to think that ICE will start getting on public transportation to kidnap people? I don't know that we are preparing for that.

#GISChat If you do a collaboration from your org to another org, do you setup the collaboration between their dev env and yours or do you do Prod to Prod or is one from Prod to Dev okay? Does it matter?

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

In a civilised society the military would turn on their despotic leader and remove him from power.
They would defend the constitution and protect the people.
The American people are not safe.
The constitution is under attack.
Remove him.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.

The next could be you.

What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.

This is personal — to every one of us.

#F***ICE I've been thinking a lot about how in Highschool, I was taught about how the Nazis suffered psychological strain because they were killing people up close and personal and because of that the gas chambers were invented to be able to kill many in mass. I fear, we are moving in that direction

#Cartography So something I am coming to understand is just how important scale based cartography is for interactive web maps. My new personal pet peeve? Being able to zoom way out from the county where the data is located. If the data is in the US you should only be able to zoom out to the US.

Colorado Friends, if you are looking for ways to help out and support your neighbors who are being targeted by ICE. Colorado Rapid Response Network is looking for volunteers. #FuckICE

#GISChat Is anyone in the community tracking the locations of where ICE and Protestors throughout the US are happening? Especially locations where protestors are being harmed? Do we know if that data is being collected?

What is and who makes the mapping interface or API that Palantir is using in its ELITE system for ICE to target its occupation of US cities?

#GISChat Morning Y'all, for those of you who manage an ArcGIS Enterprise system, how do you manage your enterprise documentation? Both the documentation your make SOPs as well as any ESRI related links or documents you refer to for administration purposes. Is it just one big folder?
