What if you laid out all the meanders of a river along a straight line, so that you can break the river into straight-ish segments and fill arbitrary spaces? This is the Purus River in Brazil; you can see how it is getting wider and the meanders are getting larger in the downstream direction

The Bluesky algorithm is eye opening. X is manipulating the Following feed so heavily that I see almost nothing from the accounts I follow over there.
