  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🏔️❄️ Roughly the size of #HongKong, #Sagarmatha National Park in north-east #Nepal contains Mount #Everest, the highest #mountain on #Earth.

    Established in 1976 and declared a #UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, the #park spans 1,148 square km of #glaciers, river #valleys, and #forests. It hosts 28 #mammal species and over 150 #birds, including snow #leopards, red #pandas, Himalayan #tahr, and bar-headed #geese.

  2. Panda fans flocked to the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo on Sunday to say goodbye to its star attractions — two giant pandas, who will be sent back to China at the end of the ​month. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/ #japan #pandas #uenozoo #chinajapanrelations

  3. When Ueno Zoo’s last pandas leave this month, the loss won’t just be emotional. Economists estimate the absence of pandas could cost the area ¥15 billion a year — a reminder that pandas are serious business. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/ #japan #society #chinajapanrelations #china #pandas #ueno #tokyo #animals #zoos #uenozoo

  4. Panda fans are braving hourslong lines at Ueno Zoological Gardens in Tokyo to catch one last glimpse of Xiao Xiao and Lei Lei ahead of their return to China in January. japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/ #japan #chinajapanrelations #china #pandas #ueno #tokyo #animals #zoos #uenozoo

  5. #30DayMapChallenge : #Fire

    The #Volcanic Isles . A brief history of volcanism across The British Isles.

    Quite pleased with how this one turned out.

    Location of volcanoes taken from wikipedia (spotted a mistake and got to make an edit to wikipedia in the process); fault lines from the #BGS 625k bedrock dataset and the IE GSI 500k Bedrock Geology for Ireland. Font: League-Spartan by the League of Moveable Type.

    #requests, #pandas and #geopandas for scraping and wrangling.#scipy for making the proximity surface (that's the colour scheme), #matplotlib for plotting. With all labeling done manually in #inkscape.

    EDIT: I've been kindly and helpfully informed that (a) Ben Nevis' age is closer to 399 Ma; (b) some are missing; (c) others perhaps shouldn't be there; (d) it's complicated. So, maybe don't use this map to make any strategic decisions.

  6. Discovery reveals giant flying squirrel once soared over Southern Appalachia
    phys.org/news/2025-02-discover paper: link.springer.com/article/10.1

    "A giant #FlyingSquirrel—about the size of today's house cats—once soared through the skies over what is now Southern #Appalachia, gliding above #rhinos, #mastodons and red #pandas... closest relatives are the giant #FlyingSquirrels in Japan, China and Indonesia... somehow they crossed the Bering Land Bridge alongside other #mammals about 5 million years ago."

  7. Saturday was a bittersweet day for panda-lovers around the country, as thousands of people visited Tokyo's Ueno zoo to bid farewell to Ri Ri and Shin Shin. japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/ #japan #tokyo #uenozoo #zoos #pandas #china #chinajapanrelations #animals

  8. Two aging pandas at a Tokyo zoo will be returned to China next month for medical care, the city's governor said, with visitors queuing on Saturday to catch their last glimpse of the couple. japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/ #japan #china #chinajapanrelations #uenozoo #pandas

  9. [Перевод] Простой скрипт на Python для управления личными финансами

    Кажется, что отслеживать финансы — сложно. Удивлю вас, но даже у такой задачи есть простой и гениальный способ решения. Для управления своими личными финансами я взял и написал скрипт на Python. С его помощью можно следить за состоянием своего бюджета, записывая доходы и расходы, и видеть, на что вы тратите деньги каждый месяц.

  12. For the second day of #HanukkahOfData I pivoted to #Datasette , which worked great!

    I then clumsily adapted the solution to #pandas, which was educational with a few missteps 😅. I _think_ my takeaway is that grouping on category columns can cause things to explode. But the lesson is still in progress...

  13. Reflecting on #HanukkahOfData with a post about the first puzzle (dev.to/ajkerrigan/hanukkah-of-).

    On the first day I was still getting a feel for the data set, and stuck with #VisiData . I didn't yet realize that I'd lean so hard on #Datasette and #pandas in the following days...
