politics @lemmy.world•Trump says he asked Google CEO to rename Atlantic Ocean on Maps
5·24 days agoWeird. Neither OpenStreetMap nor CoMaps does any automatic address interpolation or inference. All the data you see there was either imported from a suitably-licensed authoritative source or added by a contributor.
If you’re seeing misnumbering of addresses, it’s almost certainly human error, but it won’t be a regular thing.

4·1 month agoYeah, agreed, they look to be hugely bright spotlights facing into Pakistan. All my photos are from within India, so even if they were clearer, I don’t think we’d see the actual light fixtures.
(Edit: unless that’s what’s on the poles in all three pictures, maybe.)

politics @lemmy.world•Nancy Mace Introduces Bill to Bar Trans People from Security Clearances, Federal Jobs Requiring Mental Health Screenings
13·2 months agoNancy Mace is not a radical feminist by any definition. She’s vocally anti-abortion, she portrays LGBTQ+ people as child predators, and she was part of Trump’s 2016 campaign even after the “grab 'em by the pussy” hot mic incident.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump gives vague answer when quizzed why he won’t send $5,000 ‘dividend’ checks now
6·2 months agoHe’s definitely drilled extensively on talking points. His wittering is always a mix of the things Fox & Friends got him riled up about, attacks on people who’ve contradicted him, and some Quixote-esque attempt at the points he’s meant to make that week.
Very liminal!
I guess the white margin was an artistic decision, but I was feeling snarky before I realized which community this was, and it feels a shame not to post it now.

273·4 months agoIf I visit the States, should I visit Micihgan, Missssssppq, or the sunny Pqsqr keys?

We’ve been in this world of upside where a lone wolf is on a wilding spree through the federal government, clear not operating at anyone’s direction but his own. And yet the President is at least okaying it all after the fact. And thus our system can’t really makes sense of what’s happening. Yes, it’s almost all illegal even or in a sense especially if the President is authorizing it. And…
I feel like I’m having a stroke.
To some extent. You’re probably referencing the Sermon on the Mount, though (Matthew 5 and 6, including the bits about praying in private and not making a display of your faith), and that wasn’t exactly a private affair.
