Bluesky Map Interactive map of 3.4 million Bluesky users, visualised by their follower pattern.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

The Mystery of Mistletoeโ€™s Missing Genes Mistletoes have all but shut down the powerhouses of their cells. Scientists are still trying to understand the plantsโ€™ unorthodox survival strategy.

Merry Christmas! This is your yearly reminder that mistletoes, uniquely among ALL known multicellular life, do not have working mitochondria. What the fuck? Biology is fake.

How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across Londonโ€™s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.

I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis: open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...

Other features include a map of all Cineville cinemas, ticket links, an add to calendar button, and links to IMDb and Letterboxd. It currently has the Cineville programme for the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Sweden. I build this because I wanted to use it, but maybe it's useful to more people.

I made a website! It's an alternative interface for Cineville with an interactive schedule of movie showtimes, a list of movies on selected location(s) and day, and you can use it to pin and share selected shows.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EUโ€™s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Chat Control Is Back on the Menu in the EU. It Still Must Be Stopped The European Union Council is once again debating its controversial message scanning proposal, aka โ€œChat Control,โ€ that would lead to the scanning of private conversations of billions of people. Chat

The Danish Presidency is pushing a dangerous proposal in the EU that would allow the government to scan all our private communications. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,

In 2020 someone installed plaques on benches in Calgaryโ€™s Bowmont Park commemorating events that didnโ€™t happen. The city removed them but re-installed them after locals protested. How could you not want these?
