Some LOAC news: I'm closing down the blog. (for happy reasons...) actualcontrol.substack.com/p/an-update-fr…

Chiming in to say that due to Twitter’s API changes, this bot — my dear and occasionally maddening friend — has likely tweeted its last. Fair winds and following seas 🫡⛴️

@tstloc01_1059 Right back at ya Clive! I owe you a pint next time I’m in the UK…

@LOActualControl Bro, anon or not you'll always be a massive bossman. Big up and good luck with the new role!

@LOActualControl Congrats mate...that is such wonderful news. Sad to know that I won't get to read your wonderful newsletter but very excited for you.

@MaxLenormand Thanks Max!! Appreciate all your support over the years 🙏

@LOActualControl Exciting news, happy for you *checks notes* Riley! Also great to be able to put a name and a face on your great work, I can imagine that also being a step in in of itself! Looking forward to seeing more of the work you'll be doing!

@mouthofmorrison @riley_mellen @wallacetim Dude…let’s keep in touch

End of an era. My favorite geospatial analysis blog is shutting down because @riley_mellen is stepping out or anonymity to join the NYT. @wallacetim I have some ideas for how to screw with him if you want them.

@tom_bullock_ @ameliairheart @mouthofmorrison @OpenCage Thanks so much Tom, that really means a lot to me 🙏

@LOActualControl @ameliairheart @mouthofmorrison @OpenCage Super well deserved, congrats!

As of today, I started as a journalist on the @nytimes' Visual Investigations team. I could not be more excited about the move! However, that also means I won't be posting on LOAC in the near future (though the site/archives will stay up). nytimes.com/spotlight/visu…

@evanhill @nytimes Thanks Evan!

@LOActualControl @nytimes Congratulations!

@PutinIsAVirus Thanks so much my friend!

@LOActualControl Very well deserved, congratulations !!! 🎉🎉🎉

@CalibreObscura Thanks Calibre! 🙏

@LOActualControl 🥲But congratulations!

@bigseb31213 Thanks bud!

@LOActualControl Congrats again dude!

I enjoyed writing on LOAC so, so much but, as with everything, there comes time for a new challenge. See ya round 👋🔍 youtube.com/watch?v=j3HUFh…

Being a pseudonymous blogger was fun for a while but, *deep breath* you can follow my IRL account over at @riley_mellen. I also encourage you to sign up for the VI team's newsletter (if you liked LOAC, I have a feeling you may like newsletters...) nytimes.com/newsletters/vi…

@maartenzam Thanks @maartenzam ! And congrats to you as well, let’s keep in touch 😀

@LOActualControl Congrats, what a cool move! I guess at some point you'll use some data from the company I started working at just today :)
