Congrats to Space Invader on his 4000th work installed, and always love that he makes a map printed on paper to commemorate his invasions. Don't stop now! #maps #graffiti #graffitiart #MapPorn youtube.com/watch?v=I9X6Vq…

@wtfthatscool Love your posts and have been thinking about this very image after watching an Adam Curtis movie on that facet of the Afghanistan war. Do you have a source for this, where from?

Bin Laden's Mountain Fortress (UK/US propaganda, 2001) [565x635]

When we talk about great ski cartographers like @JamesNiehues , Hal Shelton, or Bill Brown, many times they will reflect back to Heinrich Berann as an inspiration & gold standard to depicting the glory of mountain landscape with such detail. Here, Berann's Denali. #maps #dataviz

Yet another gem from John Held Jr., artist and illustrator of the early 20th century. Here (1931) his map for the Dog's ideal country estate. #maps #MapPorn #Dogs #doglovers

@etlund @MapPornTweet @MapScaping That's a dynamic manuscript map. Holy cow. It reminds me of some manuscript stuff at the Morgan library, will take a look.

@UNLGreatPlains Just posted how much we will miss Roger Welsch, but sure love his legacy. Can't wait for the film, great message, great step of reconciliation.

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UNL is hosting a screening of the short film "Return of the Pawnees" at the Center for Great Plains Studies on Oct. 24 at 7pm. The event is free and open to the public, but sign up and registration is required. events.unl.edu/OLLI/2022/10/2…

We've enjoyed having the most interesting customers in the world, & loved everything about Roger Welsch. Will miss the calls & still have a postcard from Nebraska from him. Love that his home place will be given to the Pawnee. Well done Roger, well done. bit.ly/3eoTuTQ

Beantown re-identified by the Biotech revolution. Here another work by Terry Guyer capturing the growing industry of bio-pharma in 1995. #maps #dataviz #biotech #Biotechnology #MapPorn

From 1683 a map of the passage to the Pacific Ocean that Magellan came across in 1520, like a passage to a whole other world. (And a nifty sea serpent) #oldmaps #maps #Argentina #Chile #MapPorn

Can Computers Think? A map to help you maybe reach a major conclusion. You'll start with Alan Turing and throughout basic premises will be disputed or supported with the likes of Charles Babbage, Margaret Boden, John Searle, and Doug Hofstadtler. #dataviz #maps #MapPorn #tech

@morganssong YES! You can love what you are doing!! Much thanks Vicky! Needed the Vicky Vibes.

There was a rise of tech regions from Boston to the Research Triangle of North Carolina, to San Diego and up to Silicon Valley, but don't forget those in Texas, like the "Technoplex" around Dallas - Ft Worth. #dataviz #maps #Dallas #tech #mapporn

@jeremyjojola @9NEWS Thank you. Please do more. This so does the heart good.

Today is the first day of #HispanicHeritageMonth! I'd like to begin a 31-day thread here with the goal of sharing stories & images that reflect my northern New Mexico heritage. On Day 1, let me begin with this @9NEWS video from 2017 featuring my grandma. 1/
