DOGE preferentially cancelled grants and contracts to recipients in counties that voted for Harris. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, this is a wild finding. Source: buff.ly/2vBLXx2

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

A decade ago the @WWF published a report about how to achieve 100% global renewable energy by 2050. On page 53 it features a lovely map using a Dymaxion projection to show a potential future global energy grid. Source: buff.ly/3qHrU4Z

Hilarious measurement: the driving hypocrisy score. How much does the percentage of people who find a road behaviour acceptable differ from the people who engaged in such behaviour in the last month? The Brits aren't hypocritical but the Bosnians are. Don't take such data too seriously😉

Very interesting way to display long-term US election data. The map shows how every county voted over the last three elections. Two of the possible eight voting options don't even exist (Trump-Trump-Harris & Clinton-Trump-Harris). Source: https://buff.ly/3ZzhfNJ

"Cram's Air Age" This map was produced during WWII. It's a US centric world map using the Gingery Projection. It also features a table showing distances between cities. This is the time when the US became serious about air power. Zoomable map here: buff.ly/2RIWnju
