A pretty great view of this tunnel w/ doors visible. An older tunnel was abandoned many years ago but then they reopened & improved it in 2023/24. @ 40.283725° 128.256202° near Pukchong, North Korea. Images 2017 & 2024 #AccessDPRK

No it does not ā€œreveal large nuclear weapons complex.ā€ So far, no specific information has been demonstrated that links this to China’s nuclear forces. The construction is interesting and important for other reasons, but so far no indication that includes nuclear.

If you hated the hero worship around Obama—as I did—then I don't understand making excuses for a president putting his face on buildings, currency, and passports. Private individuals making a politician a personality trait is unhealthy. Forcing the public to do so is grotesque.

George Washington actively opposed the U.S. Mint putting his face on coinage, as it would've resembled the reverence reserved for monarchs. reason.com/2026/05/29/trumps…

A ceasefire covering an area 300m x 300m is truly ā€œhuge news and a very significant step towards peaceā€.

Just an observation but North Korea has been replacing railroad ties quite a lot over the last couple of years. From Yongbyon to the remote reaches of Ryanggang Province. Example @ 41.419456° 127.803217° #AccessDPRK

Been questioning the point of sharing stuff lately. It feeds the machine and people use the machine to copy and profit. But I remembered why I started sharing initially so here's the topography of race in the conterminous United States. #rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale

I've mapped & remapped North Korea's border security a dozen times & I'm doing it again. And it's amazing how often they pour resources into building an impenetrable fence only for it to get washed away in a flood, & they have to move the repaired fence to a new part of the bank

For the record, there’s no unconstitutional flaw in Tennessee’s congressional district around Memphis, which has been drawn similarly for nearly a century. The theory being employed by the President here is that whenever a district becomes majority black, it must be broken up.

I'm interested in what this building design is used for. There's dozens of them around North Korea, typically at military sites, but I don't know what their purpose is. Example @ 38.369355° 127.081174° from 2012, 2015, 2025 #AccessDPRK

Kim Jong Un's latest attempt to improve North Korea's food situation involves a 32 square kilometer land reclamation project in the Kwangtan River estuary. If completed, it will eliminate the estuary. From #AccessDPRK mynorthkorea.blogspot.com/20…

The absolute least self-aware group of people on the planet right now
.@RepCiscomani on the midterms: "We’re not going back to open borders. We’re not going back to Bidenflation. We’re not going back to being an embarrassment on the world stage and we’re not going back to weakening our military."

North Korea's markets continued to experience net growth in vendor space over the last 5 years; although, the annual average fell 91% compared to 2019. The latest from #AccessDPRK mynorthkorea.blogspot.com/20…

I really hope the next administration orders the Treasury to recall & destroy every single note and coin issued with Trump's signature/face. He is nothing but a stain on the American project and deserves nothing less than to have every hint he ever "ruled" obliterated.
