F Apple/Google for updating maps to (ridiculously) say Lake America. The name comes from indigenous people who predate the US by centuries if not longer. Most of the water's surface area & volume is on the Canadian side. This is an embarrassing *distraction* (like Gulf of America). Let it end.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
