You've seen me share a few maps and videos of the Panama Canal. I love that engineering marvel. This animation shows a map and a timelapsed journey through the canal. 15 seconds worth watching!

A powerful new space mission will track our changing Earth in fine detail 🌏 The joint @NASA-@ISRO mission – called #NISAR – will give us insight into what triggers earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and other natural hazards. It’s set to launch from India in coming months.

Why go through the hassle of getting a warrant when the gov can just buy location data from a broker? Remember that points, lines & areas easily serve as personal identifiers eff.org/deeplinks/2023/10/ad…
