Mercator, it's not hip to be square

Good stuff from Ken Field: Mercator, it's not hip to be square. Quote: "Simply put, Web Mercator kills thematic maps." Perfect example: 2019 Canadian election maps.

Humboldt, Chimborazo, and the Tableau Physique

Meanders

The Many Meanders of the Juruá (NASA) is just a beautiful satellite image of a meandering river.

Infrared Radiation

The first 15 seconds (and the rest) show a nice example of infrared vs. visible radiation (aka light).

SLR Maps

There are a bunch of web-based interactive tools to visualize the impacts of sea-level rise - here are a few of them:

• Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Web Tools Comparison Matrix - National (by Climate Central)
• Coastal Risk Screening Tool - Global (by Climate Central)

Python and ArcGIS Pro

Nice 4-part series about using Python in ArcGIS Pro by Olivia Iannone (Esri). Plus good courses offered by Esri:

Street Orientation

This is not all that new, but interesting: Road Orientations Map. Read more about it here: Visualizing street orientations on an interactive map. I always find these 'gridded' cities a little weird (being from Europe), especially those 'forcing' the grid over significant topography (e.g. San Francisco).
