I’m late to read this — and while SV’s contribution to the region has been largely extractive and deleterious (as geographers have noted for years), a place doesn’t need hagiographic memorials or founder-funded museums to have cultural capital. It’s been there in other forms.

I wrote about the symbolic meaning of McDonald's for Mariupol a few years ago. Until the very last moment (Jan 2022), the city was doing everything it could to try and get the chain to return: rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

In this contribution, I describe how McDonald's was until very recently a symbolic centrepiece of local debates in Mariupol, Ukraine. In its role as globally signifying flagship, McDonald's had gener...

All 20, still use paper maps (love them but then both parents are geographers) and send postcards - a bit younger than you.
Used to love when Dad brought the school minibus home to clean it after field trips - two wooden benches along the sides, no seat belts and you could really slide along them!

No, the UN is quite credible unless you reject the idea that they're incapable of spotting a genocide when they have documentary evidence of one.
Which is very much like saying that geographers are quite credible when they say the Earth is an oblate spheroid unless you believe it is flat.

That second line is from @economist.com briefing on 19 September 2026.
Geographers have been thinking about the shifting geographies of targeting and war violence for some time.
One theme is how the "frontline" is an evolving techno-geographic-material complex, now a "kill zone"

The periploi took the same approach — Pseudo-Scylax's 4th-century BC handbook lists landmarks, harbours and watering stops in sailing order, so a pilot could 'read' the coast exactly like these visibility maps. Headland bonfires get a mention in the geographers too.

There are also non-CS academics researching the real-world impacts of it - sociologists, psychologists, geographers, economists, lawyers, ethicists, and so many more - which I think can be a blind spot for those looking at it purely from a STEM perspective (insert Goldblum Jurassic Park gif here)

Us Geographers/scientists have been screaming about Global Warming, then climate change & climate emergencies for 45+ years & those who need to, drunk uncles & politicians alike, aren’t listening.
I feel Gavin’s frustration.

Seeing kiwis suddenly start complain again about high petrol prices again is doing my head in.
I've been telling everyone to buy/lease/build a cheap EV for twenty bloody years now and no one listens.
Like clockwork, fuel's got expensive again and everyone's surprised. AGAIN. Give me strength.
