#geography Saw this depiction of South America and thought how different it looks without political borders emphasized but with a relief version. Changes how you look at the Amazon basin

@HistoPol Basically, nothing we are doing is sustainable for the huge population we have.
Period.
Life is going to get worse.
Got it?

@lzg resisting making a comment because it will probably get me blocked in some way

@Npars01 @inthehands It’s all going to come tumbling down and they’re blind to see it from their lofty towers.
Both the people and the planet just can’t take it anymore.

@gerrymcgovern And the planet

@gerrymcgovern AI will destroy us

@freemo Getting out of a 2-party system will take generational changes. Near impossible the way the electoral college is set up.

OK America. That includes you folks in Congress.
Please wake up and pay close attention to what is happening.
Our President-elect, Donald Trump is nominating people for each cabinet post and department who not only are poorly qualified for the position but have outwardly expressed opinions counter to the mission of each of those departments.
It is becoming quite evident that Donald Trump is hell-bent on destroying the entire government of the United States of America.
We need you to take action.

@Strandjunker Will be interesting to get the opinion of the medical community. So many of them sacrificed years of their life for us during COVID, now this.

@mlbellar @dana @davidaugust Resist, distract, delay one grain of sand in the machinery at a time. There are millions of us: millions of grains of sand.
Never give up.

@br00t4c Duh. Exactly why Trump’s lawyers kept delaying everything towards the election and beyond.
And DOJ didn’t have the cojones to push their cases.

@gwaldby I still want to see how they will identify, round up, deport a million or two million people.
To what countries?
On what? A plane, 350 at a time?
On a big boat, 2000 to where?
On a train? In freight cars? Inhumane. And Mexico will never allow the train over their border.
At what cost to taxpayers?
Is Mexico going to pay for it?
I hope this is just ridiculous campaign rhetoric.

@WarnerCrocker Send us a picture of the same bottle at midnight Eastern time please!

@WarnerCrocker That should be considered an act of terrorism.
You only see that sort of thing in banana republics trying to dump dictators.

@br00t4c Yeah, that’s not the kind of forward change she’s selling. I think she can do it without him. She’s a much better communicator for this era than ol’ Bill. He doesn’t really appeal to her target audience

@annika @albacorepark Funny how everyone says it’s small and cramped, but not really much worse than a tiny apartment in NYC or Paris, or a tiny house. Guess it’s all relative to what you’re willing to tolerate.

@thomasfuchs Definitely have been more successful in harnessing fusion energy than the billions spent on research, so far from the breakeven point of energy out vs in. Development of a commercially viable design would need to be developed after that. Then building a safe, reliable series of generating plants could begin, if we could afford to build them.
What will the polar icecaps look like by then? If they exist at all?

@noondlyt They’re clueless, brainwashed by the AM talk radio zealots who ply the airwaves in middle America, reinforced by the misinformation spread in truck stop diners. Am I generalizing? Probably. At least 58% correct?

@sand @RickiTarr Sow disinformation in your browsing. Screw the algorithm to no end. I want to see steam rise from the cooling towers of those server farms.
