6.5 million Americans face landslide risks—a new database shows where they live #America

6.5 million Americans face landslide risks—a new database shows where they live
Landslides cause an estimated $3 billion to $6 billion in damage and multiple fatalities annually in the United States. Those numbers could easily increase as housing needs spur development in landslide-prone areas and climate change increases the severity and frequency of heavy rains, which often trigger landslides. Despite the threat, there has never been a systematic, nationwide accounting of who is most at risk from landslides.

Perfection:
"In light of Donald Trump’s attempts to rename a gulf, lakes and even states after “America”, South Park, the animated satirical program that has long skewered those in power, has announced an official name change. For its 29th season, the Comedy Central series will be known as “South America”."
…

South Park changes name to South America in response to Trump changes
Satirical program’s new title is ‘inspired by bravery and patriotism’ of Apple and Google, who capitulated to Trump’s requests to change Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’

🧵 1/2: I recently saw this vintage #Qantas poster with a unique “flower” map projection centered on #Sydney (1st image). I like how the map almost neatly divides the four largest continents (Eurasia, North America, South America, and Africa) into the four petals.
Well, I kinda became obsessed and wonder…

Portrait aviation poster featuring a unique flower-like map projection centered in Sydney, Australia with the rest of the world split into four “petals”, which from the top-left going clockwise, roughly correspond to Eurasia, North America, South America, and Africa. Major cities like Peking, New York, Buenos Aires, Cape Town and oceans are labeled. A radial grid overlays the petals. Above the map is the following text: A New Air Map From the Australian Viewpoint Great Circle Courses to the F…
