Stephen Miller's wife quietly retracts second attack on the Pope — just before Christmas

Katie Miller, the wife of President Donald Trump's chief strategist and speechwriter Stephen Miller, has for the second time in the runup to Christmas posted an attack on Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, then quietly deleted it.Her first remark came last week, after Leo, a relatively progressiv...

Completing the #30DayMapChallenge. Topic: raster.

The Rodderberg, located on the opposite side of the Rhine River from the Siebengebirge, is an inactive volcano. Although its last eruption was 250,000 years ago, the crater can still be seen in the landscape today. Here, I used my own procedure to contrast the elevations of the south-east and north-west quarters of a circular window against a standard procedure.

@GreenFire I've seen enough #UsefulIdiots refusing to vote because they'd rather let evil win than choose someone less shit because they are self-absorbed assholes that are almost constly yapping and choking on their smug bullshit.

  • Or they waste their vote on some sockpuppet merely candidating so that #Trump has better odds…

Cuz the #USA's epection system is almost as fucked as the "#GDR"

  • Like I've seen absurdly privilegued single issue voters that solely chose not to vote (#democrats) because #Biden didn't order a total embargo and total blockade against Israel. (Just to give a level of derangedness for those!)

Cuz shurely #Christofascists like #CUFI ain't gonna support Trump anyway since his last VP, #Pence, hang out at their events

15 Jahre TanDEM-X – Jubiläum für die wegweisende DLR-Erdbeobachtungsmission

Vor 15 Jahren begann die deutsche TanDEM-X-Mission mit operationellen Aufnahmen zur Erzeugung eines globalen Höhenmodells der Erde. Inzwischen ist dieses weltweiter topographischer Standard. Das DLR arbeitet an Konzepten für Radarsatelliten der nächsten Generation mit noch höherer DEM-Genauigkeit.

@transworld I was an independent for years, particularly because I didn't like Clinton and his cronies. I became a Democrat because of Obama, and have remained one since. But if the Democrats bail on the trans community, I'm done with them.

Progressive group targets Fetterman, Hassan and King over Trump nominees

A progressive group is targeting two Senate Democrats and an independent senator who voted to confirm some of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees. Demand Justice has launched a weeklong advertising campaign against Democrats John Fetterman and Maggie Hassan and independent Angus King. The group plans to spend more than $1 million to push congressional Democrats to take a stronger stand against the Republican president. Demand Justice's president warns of further actions. The group is responding to eight Democratic-aligned senators who joined Republicans to end a government shutdown, angering the party's base. Fetterman and Hassan have defended their votes. King says his vote to vote confirm a federal judge in Missouri was a mistake.

#DniproHesFlood
🛰️ Dam-break modelling with GRASS GIS

I used the r.damflood module in GRASS GIS on a historical scenario:
the destruction of the DniproHES dam by Soviet forces in August 1941 during their retreat from Ukraine.

I reconstructed a pre-war DEM of the Dnipro River from old topographic maps, modeled the dam structure, and created a breach raster.

Using r.damflood, I simulated the propagation of the flood wave over the first 24 hours after the dam explosion.
Based on this model, I generated a visualization showing the wave dynamics.

All tools used are fully open-source.
The results have not yet been published anywhere.

🔎 Preliminary watershed delineation for the Inhulets River study

One of the early intermediate products from my broader research on the anthropogenic impacts on the #InhuletsRiver.
This map shows a preliminary delineation of local drainage basins across the study area, derived from high-resolution DEM processing and hydrological modelling.

The goal of this stage is to establish a consistent spatial framework for later analyses — including flow pathways, contaminant transport patterns, and the interaction between surface and groundwater systems.
