@XcelEnergyCO Why are there no workers in Boulder? Seems insane that to leave 10k people without power or any communication?

@N_Sportelli me too. i made it 5 minutes deep

it's with mixed feelings to report that i lasted less than two mins into Wonka as my plane movie to ambiently watch while working on the way to shoptalk. i just couldn't do it.

Happy belated birthday to me! /me blows out 5 candles :) #foss4g

Check out the video of WIS 2.0 in action from INFCOM-2 last week. Weather/climate/water data interoperability, open standards, open source! ⁦@opengeospatial⁩ ⁦@OSGeo⁩ youtube.com/watch?v=r6fmKC…

Last May, I put out the first version of a river flow tool, which traced the path of a raindrop downstream. At the time, the biggest limitation was that it was constrained to the US. Happy to share that we've now got a global version of the tool working: river-runner-global.samlearner.com

@alexrkonrad 👀👀

convinced my gen z cousin could code a better app than the official Shoreline East train one in a day or two 🙈

@N_Sportelli hello jello

feeling very uninspired by thanksgiving side dishes this year, what is something unique or actually fun to make?

@alexrkonrad bones day?

got a nod of approval from a suited finance bro as I wormed my way through closing subway doors, so that’s the day it’s going to be

@thefakehvar not my idea:: imagine meeting someone who is socially conservative but fiscally liberal. like yeah i support medicare for all and housing for all but those gays better pack their bags and go back to where they are from

@N_Sportelli what moni did you settle on?

i've been working really hard on my screen time! happy to share that i now have added another screen bringing me to two screens in addition to phone 💞

@N_Sportelli @LererHippeau @steph_manning07 excited to see what’s next! you have eye of the tiger and the heart of a lion

After 3+ amazing years with @LererHippeau, today is my last day! I'm so deeply grateful to @steph_manning07 and the team for their trust in me and for helping me spread my wings. I'm really proud. 🙂 I'm going to recharge for a bit, then am excited to share what's next!

formal announcement that i have moved to full time to twitter due to the percentage of connections on instagram & facebook i have yet to respond to when i moved to dc without a job <3

you bet i alphabetized it

me and my blades reporting to defend the president, sir

@DanielleAlberti having just flown from colorado to DC this screams to me

@hudeatsbugs @igorbobic The officer initially scopes out the door, sees it's not guarded, and tries to block the way. More rioters pour up the stairs after them, and the officer seems to go with a new strategy – he shoves the first rioter, pissing him off, and then leads the whole mob the other way.

@alexrkonrad @ExpanseOnPrime @roachmon69 was watching an interview about holiday romance movies... apparently the crew had to also be the extras (and thus appear across films) if are you are interested...

my new fave holiday activity is watching Christmas movies and spotting characters from The Expanse

@coronagoawayre @icedbrew2 @naomiosaka i think its deliberately interrogating the idea of ‘business as usual’ because if this (the current state of the USA) is normal then we are already dead

@williamnyy23 @Roachamis @webb5008 @naomiosaka what numbers are you looking at lmao. they are most definitely being affected disproportionately. at least 1.8 million (from one random google source) died during the middle passage?? i think that’s genocide personally

@neb_webb @Roachamis @webb5008 @naomiosaka No, even considering the horrors of slavery, genocide, which is mass MURDER, would not be appropriate. Such reactions are irresponsible rhetoric, pure and simple. Black men are not being killed by the police in large or disproportionate numbers.

@T_Banul @williamnyy23 @Roachamis @webb5008 @naomiosaka read the 13th amendment. then think about how the over policing of Black men enslaves them in prisons or kills them outright
