They warned us Mamdani would impose Sharia law. Instead, he unleashed the real threat: line dancing in Bryant Park.

Loved every page of How Railways Will Fix the Future by @garethdennis.uk , but particularly this.
"It is often claimed by campaigners and academics that it’s a shortage of evidence that prevents politicians and others from making change happen. However, there is a problem with this. In Ben Phillip’s words, “the evidence for transformational change happening because decision-makers are shown evidence is really weak”." (Gareth Dennis, How the Railways Will Fix the Future)

The commonly used Mercator map inaccurately shrinks the size of Africa. African countries have just organised a vote at the UN for a shift to an accurate map instead. These was the tally of votes. Can you guess who voted against?
