The great glaciers of Tibetan Karakoram Mountains mapped in 1908 by H. Bystrom. These glaciers have not receded in the past 100 years. That is known as the "Karakoram Anomaly." Full map davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/s…

8 billion people on planet earth could really do with this tape being released right now.

Modulo EE.UU ? An impressive visual history

A soldier ran up to a nun. Out of breath, he asked, "Please, may I hide under your skirt? I'll explain later." The nun agreed. A moment later, two Military Police ran up and asked, "Sister, have you seen a soldier?" The nun replied, "He went that way." After the Military Police ran off, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt and said, "I can't thank you enough, sister. You see, I don't want to go to war in Iran." The nun said, "I understand completely." The soldier added, "I hope I'm not being rude, but you have a great pair of legs!" The nun replied, "If you had looked a little higher, you would have seen a great pair of balls... I don't want to go to Iran either!"

IT GETS WORSE 🚨 New Epstein files show Trump was DIRECTLY INVOLVED in human trafficking. RT this and let’s make the viral.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

This is a physics and mathematics joke.

Wherein @f2harrell tactfully avoids the faint hope clause: We envision that subsequent analysis will confirm our initial ideas…

Shredded. Redacted. Deleted. Over the past year, @fordnation has kept MPPs away from Queen's Park, cut debate short on key legislation, passed a bill which allows the government to override any law without guardrails, gave your money to his insiders, and taken over school boards. Now his proposed changes to freedom of information laws will make sure his secrets stay hidden. This isn’t what democracy should look like. Don’t let Doug Ford convince you it is.

🤣

Once upon a time in the Strait of Hormuz

Legendary Singer Neil Young has removed all his albums from Amazon Music due to founder Jeff Bezos and his support for Donald Trump. RETWEET to thank @NeilYoung for standing up for our democracy!

Finally someone said it, we are war with Iran because of the Epstein files. Great job Canada.

BREAKING: A new art installation is going viral that was placed on the National Mall by the anonymous artist collective Secret Handshake depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein in the Titanic pose. A perfect way to memorialize that our president is an adjudicated rapist.

@JohnThomsonSK Dear stupid, I m making fun of Trump you stupid piece of shit. 24000 people know this and one person is too brain dead to get it. Sincerely, fuck you.

Let's not forget

OMG! This is such an important post on the history of flow maps! #dataviz

@AntiTrumpCanada All of these are essentially true. Missing are comparisons like - convicted sexual abuser - narcissistic personality; dimensia - grifter, only interested in what he can gain - figures prominently in the Epstein files - war-monger: starting wars as a cover-up for other sins

Religious extremism always ends the same way, no matter the religion. Time for a Regime change in the USA?
