Tror ikke det bliver oplevet som krænkende af MAGA. Min fornemmelse er, at man kan komme afsted med mange jokende fornærmelser, hvis man samtidig smigrer deres nationalistiske følelser

Meme with two astronauts in space. One looks at the earth and says: Wait it’s all oligopticon. The other, pointing a gun at the first, says: Always has been.
It’s because it never has been a panopticon
Okay, I have to do a thread on this pretty amazing article because it is just seriously chockers with eye-opening stats about 'direct air capture' - ie, sucking up air and trying to remove carbon dioxide from it
