I have almost zero interest in politics. I can think of one politically-framed piece I posted recently because of the GIS content and it was flagged to death promptly. I wish I could have found a non political write up of the project, which I believe predated the political situation that the article spun it around. Perhaps I shall look a little harder today to see if such a thing exists.
I am totally cool with this experiment. It is hard enough to foster good discussion online even without politics.
Best.
As promised, here is the GIS related works I posted a couple of weeks back, though I had to brew my own to get a piece without the political angle:
