“Our Nation's geology informs decisions about resource management, critical mineral assessment, water quality modeling, infrastructure development, and risks posed by natural hazards. The geologic layers were compiled using a standardized process, funded by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program [2nd link above]. For more site-specific information, refer to the detailed geologic maps, and resources available in the National Geologic Map Database [3rd link above] and from the Association of American State Geologists [4th link above]…”

If Acts Happened Today, Would We Call It Communism?
For many, "communism" has become less a political philosophy and more a conversation stopper. But is every effort to use our shared resources to care for the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable really communism? This article examines the difference between political labels and biblical principles, comparing the teachings of the early Church with today's political rhetoric. -

Wikidata has been recognized as a digital public good by the UN-endorsed Digital Public Good Association. Happy 13th birthday, Wikidata! I'm so proud of this teenager.
-
@wikidata And congratulations on this as well!
"Earlier this year, in February, Wikipedia was recognized as a digital public good (DPG). Now, Wikidata follows in its footsteps – as the world’s largest open knowledge graph, used globally to build transparency, trust, and digital equity."
