  1. La colonisation militaire américaine de l'Australie
    🔸"Au total, l’armée américaine et les sociétés de défense américaines contrôlent ou ont accès à 110 installations sur le territoire australien, soit bien plus de la moitié de toutes les installations militaires australiennes."

  7. Sweating the sub-pixel anti-aliasing bugs so that you don't have to!

    This image is from some of my debugging work on one of our upcoming MapLibre styles. I noticed that something wasn't quite right - a tiny single-pixel wide glitch on one side of some of our place-label icons. So then of course I had to track down the root cause...

    #thunderforest #cartography #maplibre

    Edit: Added a real-life map image, so you see what I mean by a "tiny" glitch - I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't notice!

  8. 🧵 1/2: I recently saw this vintage #Qantas poster with a unique “flower” map projection centered on #Sydney (1st image). I love how it almost neatly divides the four largest continents (Eurasia, Africa, and North and South America) into the 4 “petals”.

    I sorta became obsessed and wondered if I could recreate it using my mapmaking and coding skills.

    Some days of tinkering, coding, and mathing later, I think I managed to do it! (2nd image) 🎉🗺️

  13. The Russian navigation app 2GIS shows an ad for a place... in a completely different location. You’d think this “8 Марта” place is right here, but it’s actually on the opposite side of the city. What you see is just a banner ad.

    Thanks @khambogrus for the picture

  18. La France abandonne la projection cartographique dite « de Mercator » et demande une représentation du monde plus équitable
    lemonde.fr/international/artic
    Dans le cadre d’un mouvement porté par l’ #Unionafricaine, Paris a annoncé, vendredi, abandonner l’utilisation de ce #planisphère. Pour respecter la réalité, la place de la France sera désormais plus petite

  19. Now maps without New Zealand will come in Equal Earth projection.

  20. Some news for cartographers, from the highly-sensationalized #CorrectTheMap campaign

    (Their mission to get rid of #Mercator-projection illustrative world maps is a good fight, but a lot of their rhetoric is very ill-informed/misleading.)

  21. 🚋 Vienna’s tram line 18 now runs through the Prater to U2 Stadion 🏟️

    🗺️ Drawn in the style of the old Wiener Linien single-line maps: geographic, black and white, connecting lines at every stop. My additions: stylised rivers, the rest of the network faintly in the background, north arrow and a scale bar.

    🏟️ 3.1 km of new track, seven new stops – and for the first time since line 21 was withdrawn in 2008, you can reach the stadium by tram again.

  25. Spotted in my RSS feeds: a Chrome extension called Retake the Lake. (This link goes to a GitHub repository. Here is the extension in the Chrome Web store.) “This is a (hopefully temporary) extension for Chrome browsers that corrects ‘Lake America’ to ‘Lake Ontario’ in two ways.”

  30. SOME SHARED SPATIAL/GIS ROLES & OPPORTUNITIES

    • I am NOT associated with HR/recruiting in ANY way
    • Therefore, these are NOT endorsements, and there are no ‘referrals’ or the like for me
    • I am simply sharing SOME roles I have seen – in the hope that they are of use to someone
    • As such, I am not (and indeed can not) in any way ‘vet’ these roles (i.e., you are advised to conduct your own due diligence due to hideous, potential risks like fraudulent postings, ‘ghost jobs’, résumé/ATS ‘improvement’ scammers, etc)
    • Further, roles listed are in no specific order (i.e., simply as I ‘encountered’ them during the week)
    • There is ZERO cost to access this list of spatial / GIS roles
    • I am not (really) ‘mining’ US Federal government roles - with the ‘hiring freeze’, uncertainty, etc
    • You can subscribe to the (free) weekly LinkedIn newsletter www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7397678824928366594 or also for free at earthstuff.Substack.com - if so inclined
