As someone in VA this is extremely accurate.

Mathematical physicist here to explain.

The dilemma between the two maps, stems from the problem of projecting a spherical surface onto a rectangle.

The standard map most people are used to is called the Mercator Projection. It preserves the correct shape for all coasts, which is great for navigation, but it makes land masses closer to the poles look bigger.

The newly recommended map is called the Equal Earth Projection. It depicts land masses with correct size relative to one another, but distorts the shape of coastlines.

For details, see my lecture quoted below. It explains the Mercator Projection, with a special focus on Greenland.

This is what oligarchy is:

Elon Musk, the richest man alive, plans to spend at least $100 million to help elect Republicans.

We must end this corrupt campaign finance system, get rid of Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to public funding of elections.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Elon Musk spent $290M to elect Trump. Now he wants to spend up to $200M to buy a Senate seat in Texas and keep Republicans in control of Congress.

That’s not democracy. That’s oligarchy.

End Citizens United. Ban super PACs. Get billionaires—from both parties—out of elections.

"I’m done with letting people make me feel I should be quiet or making me feel uncomfortable speaking about what we’re now calling politics, which is life and death, rape, genocide, stealing from people."

Four years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping away a right generations of women relied on.

California refused to go backwards. We enshrined reproductive freedom in our Constitution, expanded access, and protected patients and providers.

In California, your body, your choice remains the law of the land.

I’m in disbelief… still desperate to think this is part of an elaborate prank. That seems like something he’d do, right? The truth is, no matter how desperate I am to not believe it, my friend Oliver has passed away.

Oliver was such a unique soul, he had an ability that was unmatched by anyone else I know; to make friends in all corners of the world. Sincere friendship too, not just internet friendships of convenience.

He was one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. His style of self-deprecation was universal. Every media appearance he’s ever done was hilarious, refreshing and unique in a way that only he could bring.

He was a true artist, in every sense of the word. Everything he brought into the world, he brought with his true self. Every time he would come on our show, it would involve weeks of lengthy conversations of planning and brainstorming. Ordinary was never an option. It had to be the best possible appearance. And it always was. 

Music and film were his true passions. He produced every music video, every song with every ounce of his soul. He spent every dime to bring his vision to life. He had no use for money beyond what it could do to improve his art. He used to laugh about how he annoyed his label because he was always hitting them up for cash advances for his next big project. 

His support team was composed of his childhood friends, proof that he was the type of person that was fiercely loyal to those he loved. The type of genuine person that kept the same friends for life. And he was always adding more and more friends along the way.

He spent the last year traveling the world. Traveling across every inch. Visiting places I would never dream of going. He wanted to know the world and all its people, all the different types of ways people lived, so he could become an even more profound artist. I could see him evolving, growing, maturing, and the essence of what he collected was clear: love, friendship, art. All the things that transcended borders and time. Last we spoke, he was planning to go to Antarctica. 

“I totally get it if you can’t but it will be really special and would mean the world if you came through! Would love to see you both.”

That was the last thing he ever said to me. He was having an album release party. We didn’t make it.

Everything he touched was better for it. Every person he met was more whole for it. As a person, I’ve lost a dear friend and collaborator. But the real tragedy is that the world lost a true artist, a passionate and gifted story teller, and a radiant light that shined upon so many of us. His light is now extinguished and my life, and the world, is darker for it. 

I hope I can be more like Oliver Tree when I grow up. Bon voyage, my friend. See you on the other side. Life goes on and on and on without you.

[State of the Scene @SOTSPodcast]

We are saddened to report that Oliver Tree has sadly passed away.

Sending love to his family and friends.

Paying taxes should feel like contributing to a beautiful, shared community garden.

Not like funding a global demonic cult.

That man is robbing us blind.
It hasn’t even been 2 full years.
By the time his term is finished, the US will have $4, no schools, no healthcare, no water, no clean air, no food, no economy, no chance lmao.

Just police officers, cancer, and AI data centers.

When Americans stand up and fight for justice, we win.

We took on a king.
We ended slavery.
We built unions.
We won voting rights.
We secured LGBTQ rights.

Again and again, Americans fought back — and won.

We can do it again.

The General's are gone.
The AG is gone.
We started a war.
Gas is up.
Healthcare is up.
Prescriptions are up.
The rich are richer.
The poor are poorer.
Protesters have been killed.
Service members have been killed.
The law is a suggestion.
The Constitution is a memory.

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more.

But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.
