Reading this Cascadia Daily News article about the general lack of tech startup infrastructure in and around Bellingham makes me think: If Cascadia High Speed Rail were already developed (or in the very least, better Amtrak Cascades service between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C. existed), Bellingham would be especially well connected to those nearby tech orbits.

The commander who gave the order to fire on the WCK convoy, Colonel (res.) Nohi Mendel, was a graduate of Ateret Kohanim, an extremist religious organization. His reasoning for ordering the attack: "if they've already delivered food, they're no longer under humanitarian protection." John Brown/Sebastian ben Daniel's point that the war criminals all turn out to be right-wing and religious strikes true again. https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/hypzdd3ya

Literally took one 20 min phone call in which Biden demanded immediate ceasefire & threatened to cut off aid, & magically a border opens providing critical humanitarian aid to Gaza.

USA always had this leverage. Meanwhile 32K Palestinians killed. smh

Now let's enforce this ceasefire and ensure unlimited aid reaches starving Gazans.

I'm really hoping you don't need me to tell you that using machine learning ("AI") systems to identify potential targets and then to suggest that they be targeted when at home with their family members, including children, is one of the most abhorrent, unethical, inhumane things I've ever seen. There is absolutely no excuse for developing these systems. Technology is never neutral. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai-database-hamas-airstrikes

    "What if you could track public health like the weather?"

    In our latest blog post, Stamen designer Caroline Carter talks about our work with WastewaterSCAN to make epidemiological charts more usable in our day-to-day lives, like checking a weather report.

    Today, April 1, or March 32nd, the Greendale Community College officially bans April Fools' Day (Community, s01e20, 2010)

    The bald man looks to the side as he raises his fingers to emphasize a point. Behind him, the board reads "1 Abril". He's saying, "April 1st is officially—"
    The bald man continues, still pointing emphatically in front of a chalkboard. He says, "March 32nd forever."

    Congrats to #AmtrakCascades for 30 years of service!

    Happy Trans* Day of Visibility!

    Trans people are mappers, and hackers, and cartographers, and have always been a part of the OpenStreetMap community.

    The OpenStreetMap project is creating a freely licenced map of the world, based on how things actually are, based on how they act, and appear, not based on what some government says. OSM is trans positive.

    We spent a few minutes this Friday afternoon getting an old project running again. It's always nice to revisit old work, especially one as lovely as this one.
