@libroraptor @infobeautiful Indeed! I was surprised to hear that NZ is about the same size as California from top to bottom and side to side. They have a lot of nerve just constantly dropping us off world maps all the time, don't they?

Yet another reason to tut at the Mercator map projectionhttps://brilliantmaps.com/mercator-vs-true-size/ -
Yet another reason to tut at the Mercator map projectionhttps://brilliantmaps.com/mercator-vs-true-size/@infobeautiful Very useful to see. Done by a professional, so I must be wrong, but where I am (north New Zealand) is at about the same latitude as San Francisco, but we seem to be less shrunk?
Re discussion about more realistic projections, my favourite is Cahill-Keyes. http://www.genekeyes.com/world_map_poster.html

I keep coming back to what Kevin Kruse said here: the Trump regime is trying to get an ICE officer killed.@inthehands Very plausible. Especially since that's the same script as Jan6. Then it eventually became clear the idea was to see Pence or Pelosi or, hell, any old Congresscritter or recognizable name killed. That would open the way to declaring martial law (or facsimile thereof using some pet agency?).
