US government map of Africa mislabels every country at global conference
A U.S. government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a State Department presentation at a global conference taking place in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attendees who took screenshots and posted them online.
![[Scene is a TV REMOTE CONTROL with a finger hovering above it. The voice we hear is coming from one of the APP BUTTONS which are located directly beneath the navigation play/pause etc buttons].

![1 [Title panel] BEE TALK [News-type magazine show, with bees]
2 ANCHOR BEE: Tonight: America Divided
3 Will bees and murder hornets ever find a path to reconciliation?
4 Cheryl?
CHERYL BEE: Well, on the one hand this is partly caused by social media...
5 Algorithms are making us *hyper-aware* of insects who have different values to us, and this is having a polarising effect.
ANCHOR BEE: Mmm.
6 Also the murder hornets want to chew off my head and eat my kids.
7 ANCHOR BEE: Jason?
8 JASON MURDER HORNET: You see, this is what debate has *become* in this country.
9 Bees pretend to be all fuzzy and nice, but they simply *won’t accept* different worldviews!
10 I mean, ultimately we're all the same, right?
You want to buzz around, gather pollen and make honey...
11 I want to chop off your head and legs, gather your thorax and nibble your kids.
12 CHERYL BEE: [GETTING UP]: I’m leaving
JASON MURDER HORNET: Oh she’s *triggered*
