Maps Mania: The Giant Pixel Art Map of New York. “Isometric NYC is a huge pixel art map of New York City – and I mean huge. Anyone who lives in, or knows NYC can spend hours exploring this map, zooming in on their favorite neighborhoods, streets, and landmarks, all reimagined in a classic old-school pixel art style.”

“Medieval West Africa was dominated by three great empires - Ghana, Mali, and Songhai - that grew immensely powerful from the trans-Saharan trade routes, especially for gold and salt, fostering vibrant Islamic cultures, wealthy cities like Timbuktu, and powerful centralized governments before smaller states emerged. These empires were centers of learning, art, and distinct governance, with oral traditions preserving much of their history…”

Playing around with a "purple map" of the 2025 US presidential election, starting with just #NewMexico. It's fun to see how the numbers change across my local small town, which areas voted more Republican vs. more Democrat. I used #Python and #Folium to make the #map.
