Opinion | We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every Americanβs Health
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nationβs public health system "should alarm every American."
It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

"In March, for the first time, fossil fuels generated less than half the electricity in the U.S. In California, at one point on May 25th, renewables were producing a record hundred and fifty-eight per cent of the stateβs power demand." Bill McKibben in the #Newyorker. Good luck with #drillbabydrill

CDC Staff Prohibited From Co-Authoring Papers With World Health Organization Personnel
Itβs just the latest βOrwellianβ crackdown on government scientists.
I donβt even know how this could be presented as being in service of anything other than hindering scientific progress.

Mass Layoffs Begin at NOAA
The cuts came just before a separate wave of departures was expected under the Trump administrationβs so-called deferred resignation program.

What Elon Muskβs Salute Was All About
A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.
βA Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute,β the prominent German weekly Die Zeit wrote in an editorial.
Also, in related news, a clownish dick is a clownish dick.

Opinion | Harvard Has Already Capitulated to Trumpβs War on Academia (Gift Article)
TheΒ administration is trying to assert political control over American higher education.
This article is bleak, to say the least.
What are administrators doing to protect their faculty and students, to promote academic freedom, to ensure that universities remain places of critical inquiry, and to protect research funding and scientific advances?

Egg prices are soaring again. Hereβs why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.
The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Hello GISchat! I'm wondering how others make the case for a full open source geospatial stack over ESRI. Cost is clear, but how else do you convince others to take the high/hard road?
Also, what suite of tools do you find most effective? QGIS Server? Custom server with postgres? QFIeld vs Mergin?
