I'd like to make it clear that I am the kind of mapdevil who adores cartography.

I'd change my name but I've been a mapdevil to my family for decades.
And why should I have to, anyway?
Warum die Welt von Deutschland genervt ist?
Mittwoch: Deutschland blamiert sich bei Bewerbung um Sitz im UN-Sicherheitsrat.
Donnerstag: EU-Außenminister wollen Sanktionen gegen die israelischen Minister Ben Gvir und Smotrich erlassen. Deutschland verhindert Abstimmung.
A truly intelligent species wouldn’t poison its own drinking water, strip away its topsoil, drive wildlife populations into decline, and create chronic illness through the very food system it depends on.
Ban Ki-moon, then secretary-general of the United Nations, commented on how, in his visits to some of the most forgotten areas of the world, there was a common factor: the presence of Cuban doctors.

It’s terrifying when you realise that the “Good Old BBC,” “Auntie,” is actually a gigantic, malignant lying machine, manipulating its millions of listeners and viewers every minute of every day, across multiple platforms, usually pushing very unpleasant, right wing narratives…

THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT.
Israel wants ALL of Southern Lebanon, up to the Litani River. They have said this a million times. Tyre is part of that area.
THEY ARE GOING TO ETHNICALLY CLEANSE THE WHOLE SOUTH!!!
Να είσαι 15, να παλεύεις έναν χρόνο με τη λευχαιμία, να είσαι κλεισμένος μέσα γιατί φοβάσαι, να βλέπεις τους φίλους σου στο μπαλκόνι μόνο με μάσκα, να έρθει Ιούνιος και να σου λέει το ηλίθιο σύστημα οτι πρέπει να δώσεις μέχρι και προφορικά στη ΓΥΜΝΑΣΤΙΚΗ για να περάσεις την τάξη.
We were given a bottle of Glaswegin gin. The bottom of the bottle has this pattern. As a mapdevil, I'm wondering if it's a map? I can't find any info on it.

It's so funny whenever people are like "it's because of the LEFT that we're overrun by homeless people on the street!" knowing that the real reason is that Ronald Reagan slashed all the funding for low income housing and mental hospitals
