#gischat If you happen to be an ArcGIS Online admin (esp for EDU) please have a look at and contribute your thoughts to my issue post on the Esri AGO forums: community.esri.com/en/discussio...

Hot take(that's what the kids call it right?)... filled malasadas became a thing because most modern malasada recipes taste like regular fried donuts. When tourists in Hawaii tell you how great they are, it's because of the crazy fillings, not the pastry. Do yourself a favor and make some at home!

Tis the season... for map monsters! Sound on for greater ambiance. #mapmonsters

In these frightening times, UFW staff is out in the fields talking to workers and sharing know your rights info including these "red cards." We're also watching for ICE activity on rural roads and sharing guidance with both union and non-union farm workers.

Work calling something a “funch” does not actually make it a FUN lunch. Just saying.

Elon is a Russian asset and is basically fighting Ukraine on Putins behalf. If he wants to be a part of this war so bad, he should just volunteer for the meat grinder and face Ukrainian soldiers on the front line in-person. #SlavaUkraine www.politico.eu/article/ukra...

I just heard the term "decision fatigue" and wow, yeah, I know what that is in my bones despite never having heard it called that before.

Esri constantly pushing "governance" as the solution to ArcGIS Online maintenance without building the right admin tools is super passive aggressive. iykyk - and also you're prob an AGO admin! 🙃

Sitting next to somewhat famous recently discovered mastodon tooth right now. 

Came across this little gem while looking for resources for counter mapping workshop: www.handmaps.org #handdrawnmaps

#gischat Cartographic Representations were an ArcMap thing only, is that right? What took over from that in Pro? What does Esri call the functions that do on-the-fly symbology changes like line offsets and layered symbol styles?

Public advisory for influencers talking about Hawaii post hurricane Lowell. You can be IN Hawaii (the state) or IN Lihue’ but you are ON Kauai. Stop saying “in Kauai”!

This week's Data Vis Dispatch covers the Nepal-Tibet floods, Shein’s IPO 👚📊, heat-related deaths🌡️⚠️, Trump's endorsements 🇺🇸, and the Hugging Face incident 🤖. Explore these topics and much more in the newly posted blog 👇 www.datawrapper.de/blog/data-vi...

TLDR... John Snow wasn’t the cartographer, he didn’t invent GIS, the map didn’t lead to the discovery of the outbreak source. This is once of geography's oldest and least accurate mythologies. What's too bad is the real story is still very interesting and informative!

Every time he does this he erodes the value intrinsic in the American identity. He makes himself a petty weak fool, he erases history, and diminishes the identity of a nation to nothing more than a crude branding mark that will inevitably be undone when he's dead and gone.

All the wrong 80-year-olds are dying.

More pixel art maps please! #gischat

Flock cameras are the Cybertrucks of the law enforcement world. They are objectively terrible, everybody hates them, and the people who use them are blissfully ignorant of what douchebags they are. #deflock @deflock.org

Looking for an 'affordable' house to rent in the Bay Area? Not on the peninsula you're not!

The point of Mark Zuckerberg's 6,500-word essay is to define a positive future for AI. Zuckerberg uses an example that is telling, in a grim kind of way: He asked an AI to pick out a “personalized” recipe to bake with his daughter. Read more from @lopatto.bsky.social: buff.ly/QouZnFZ

Quick trip out to Half Moon Bay last week. Only spent about 90 minutes on the water but caught this nice cabezon to bring home and fry up!

I can't adequately describe to anyone not from Hawaii who didn't grow up waiting until Sun ea week to hopefully/maybe get a homemade pastele from the local market (cause that's the only day the old lady who made them delivered) what level of food porn this is. www.instagram.com/reel/DbvsG5x...

If you don't already know who Bobby Fingers is, this is as good an intro to his surreal world of art, storytelling, and tabloid drama as you'll find: youtu.be/vGt7-WnWdhE?...

This century-old tradition dates back to the 1850s when a bishop's daughter first trained the birds to pull a hanging rope for lunch. IG: @maddy.lee.98 Bishop's Palace in Wells, Somerset, England

All cops should have to spend their first two years on the job without a firearm so they are forced to rely on other tactics besides pull out gun and yell. They can partner with an officer who has already had two years of firearms restriction and is allowed to carry a firearm.

Every senator seeking to make Fauci the scapegoat for Trumps failed polices and blatant corruption should have to suck a covid lollipop.

If you have to put out multiple "proof of life" photos, you may not be alive. Also, how about a proof of life video? Or interview?

Disturbing view of what the US has become. These are all the known ALPR cameras across the country right now. This will only get worse unless we fight back. deflock.org

Every second, somewhere on Earth Adhan (the Islamic call to prayer) rises. See the live map to learn where Adhan is being called right now: buff.ly/qykbxRt

Honestly, Mount Rushmore is as gross as a UFC event on the White House lawn.

Great example of why NOT to trust the AI summaries. Asking a question about outboard motor placement the AI responded with an absolute answer about the height (2" below bottom) but the post that answer is based on the author only stated how their motor is currently set up, not how it should be.

Gunny has a message for Donald Trump: monuments are supposed to honor principles, sacrifice, and service. NOT a single politician. The "Arc De Trump" is a slap in the face to all veterans and military families. It's time to speak out against this would-be monstrosity before it's too late.

I'm not sure how much water that would have otherwise gone to baby seals got used in making this AI animation of an old map monster. But I might be ok with it! 🫣

It's been a while, so let's give a boost to one of my favorite hachure designs, of the #Cascade Range volcanoes. This bit of wall art might be of interest to folks who love the #PNW. www.etsy.com/listing/4373...

What kind of an insane person cuts a BLT like this? Are we just doing whatever the fuck the we want now!?

#gischat Anyone out there familiar with DeGAUSS for geocoding PHI data? Looks interesting as a solution for protecting health info while geocoding, but I can't find any specifics on how it accomplishes the geo code or what is uses as an address locator. degauss.org/index.html

"Trump Claims Strait Will Be ‘Permanently Toll-Free’ Under Agreement With Iran" You mean like how it always was before you attacked Iran? Morons. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

Uh, pretty much anyone other than an infant, the elderly, or infirm would be able to put him down. There are 90 pound women in my kickboxing/bjj school who would absolutely destroy him! And I would pay good money to sit front row for any of it.
