Still my favourite "What is GIS" video explainer. 60 seconds long, great animation and interesting narrative. Perfect as a class starter or refresher #geographyteacher #GIS

When I was an exchange student in Bavaria in the 1980s, my teachers still remember how the American GIs fed them when they were hungry
Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin.
How times change.
How times change.
NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.
The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

This feels like those stories from the Vietnam War where Generals in DC would send hundreds of GIs to their death over a hill significant only because it had a surveyed elevation, only to abandon the hill a week later.

One thing I don't hear or read academics discussing enough is the sheer weirdness that results from the entire world having access to your work via the Internet. I can't be the only one who ends up being cited in works about subjects that I barely recognize, much less am citable in.

I wish financial planners would stop warning ppl about the "OAS clawback"
The OAS is the residue of a pension, launched in 1926, to relieve starvation among the very poor
Now, it (and GIS) helps those people, but also ppl with modest savings/pensions
It's 'clawed back' from the very comfortable

for Veterans Day, the very short story of my grandfather’s heroic service in World War II:
there were fears that the Russians would invade Alaska (there are always fears that the Russians will invade Alaska) so a number of U.S. GIs were stationed there just in case, my grandfather Harry among them.

In 1984, we visited Bastogne in the Belgian Ardennes. We got talking to four of the kindest, friendliest, modest men we have ever met.
The men were ex GIs who'd fought in the Battle of the Bulge, destroying the remaining Wehrmacht.
They'd be appalled by this man.

Trump: "We have officially renamed the Dept of Defense back to the original name, Dept of War. And remember we won World War 1, we won World War 2, we won everything in between. We won everything that came before. And then we brilliantly decided to change the name. We became politically correct"

So disgusting because so many people really believe this one man really cared about them. His whole life has shown he never paid gis bills in full, left people struggling. Abused as many people as he wanted. Used his name to profit but never did one honest day's work in his life. Do your homework
