Making maps at Felt.
I didn't work on this project, but I've been getting to test it, and I can say it clears the "magical" bar. This isn't one of those awkward "stick a chatbot in the corner" features -- it's using an LLM to give you super powers. And it's only going to get better!

Friends, let me share one more music video with you. ❤️ This one is very personal — I wrote this song, called “After the War”, in March 2022, capturing a dream familiar to every Ukrainian: the longing for peaceful life filled with everyday routines and small joys, and a deep yearning for home. 🇺🇦⬇️

This is what I've been sweating over recently and I'm super happy with the way it turned out. My coworkers and I have started living in the future -- finding and visualizing multi-gigabyte rasters in seconds -- and now we just can't wait for others to join us!

Raster just got 10x faster to work with thanks to Felt's powerful new raster infrastructure release.

Now you can seamlessly connect your buckets to the browser, where they can be streamed, indexed and styled in one performant platform.

Click, click, done.

I'm not sure ProPublica has the whole story here, but it's true Oregon and Washington underwhelm on their renewables rollout and it's very disappointing.

The effect of Israel’s total siege on Gaza has become catastrophic, doctors say. Shortages of food, water and medicine are prompting a surge of preventable illnesses, and deaths. nyti.ms/3GzOJV1

Absolutely terrifying. Maybe some or many are guilty but to do that to even one innocent person makes me shudder.
The men sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison:

- A tattoo artist seeking asylum who entered legally.
- A teen who got a tattoo in Dallas because he thought it looked cool.
- A 26-year-old whose tattoos his wife says are unrelated to a gang.
- A barber whose family says he has no gang ties.

Create advanced visualizations that delight your team and clients - immediately make your category, size by or color range maps 10x more intuitive to your end user by adding icons (and emojis!). Pretty neat.

The idea of making the site of a recent US-funded genocide into a US-owned seaside resort for the wealthy is, in fact, audacious, but that is probably not the first descriptor I'd choose, or among the top 100.
“Audacious.” What the fuck are these people doing.

I don't have any particular insight into how Trump's flurry of experimental (?) activity will play out, but I think reading this article six months ago has left me feeling somewhat less disoriented now www.statecraft.pub/p/how-to-def...

I felt a little guilty getting so much great content from @volts.wtf for years because he barely paywalls - I’m happy to have finally subscribed this year.

It’s crazy to think how much history can shift on decisions like this one made under enormous pressure and uncertainty…

We watched “True Lies” last night in a fit of Thanksgiving nostalgia, and the comic chemistry in that movie is still amazing. Hard to swallow the anti-Arab (and implied Palestinian) propaganda though.

Just read Against the Grain and Seeing Like a State back to back, and while James C Scott was a very interesting thinker, he repeated himself way too much.

I avoided posting on Twitter, thinking I might catch social brain. Plus who cares about m mundane thoughts? But they make the background hum of a space, so I’ll try them here.
