Why Australia Is A Continent But Greenland Is An Island
Greenland is not a small continent. It is a large piece of North America with some water in the way. Why Australia qualifies and Greenland does not.

Today, on this day of remembrance, Trump had better keep his damned pie hole shut about Canada. I, for one, will forever remember the gift of love our brothers and sisters in Gander, Halifax, and Vancouver gave on this day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...

Uhh... Trump promised to pay every American $5,000 if Republicans keep control of the House and Senate. First off, he's lying. Second, will SOMEBODY who has the authority and skill set to do so, please do something about this blatant "pay for votes" scheme. JFC

I will not put "Lake America" and "Gulf of America" labels on any map I make. If you don't like that, you can stick it in your antipode.

Spot on, Jack. Let’s also not lose sight of the fact that Trump’s possible moves to cancel the midterms is reliant on a compliant military leadership who won’t balk at unconstitutional orders. I hope it doesn’t get to that, but the stats sure do seem to be aligning.

Well, if yesterday's map was ridiculous, I'm running out of superlatives to characterize today's. Countless locations from Pacific Coast to Great Plains are currently experiencing all-time record March warmth, w/ some locations approaching/exceeding April (or even May) records.
Map of U.S., from coolwx.com, showing locations currently experiencing record-breaking temperatures. There are countless such locations in the Western U.S., with hundreds of red dots (locations breaking daily record highs) and many dozens of pink dots (locations breaking March monthly record highs). The region of record heat extends from the Pacific Coast to the Great Plains, and from Canada to Mexico.

Hey remember when all you amoral racists who can’t spell “you’re” told us that Trump was the anti-war candidate, bc the billionaires who control right wing media told you to think that? Billionaires got their tax cut. We got wars. Now go figure how to pay for groceries rent & medicine this month.
