This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Instinctively, this makes sense. But our electoral system has us elect individuals and not parties, even though most voters care more about parties than individuals. What we need is wholesale electoral reform that goes much further than this petition.

I thought this trailer was an SNL sketch, but nope! — it’s a real movie with possibly the greatest cast of 2026, and I implore you to watch the trailer 😆

I've been meaning to for a while. Recommendations for another streaming service with as wide a range of music including classical, and podcasts?
Delete Spotify
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

True, but on the other hand Kirsty Noam says Communist agitator Renee Nicole Good ran over & killed three ICE officers at high speed, blew up an ICE buildings downtown & took a class of kindergarten students hostage before being gunned down so you can understand the media not wanting to pick a side.
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

A woman was reversing in Asda car park today and she almost bumped into my trolley so she said "sorry". I said "that's okay", but my American friends are saying the correct response would have been to shoot her in the head three times and claim I acted in self-defence 🤷‍♀️

As I'm sure you're aware, the fifth of January is the day of the Schnabelperchten, a creature of Austrian folklore who will check your house for cleanliness. If they decide you haven't done a good enough job, they'll slit open your belly and fill it with straw. Happy New Year..!

I guess the one way to guarantee that you can end a war is to start one. Obviously you need to pick a small country that offers no conceivable military threat to you.
