So we're moving to a new, more spacious #flat soon, and I want to have **a political world map covering an entire wall**. That's been [a desire of mine](https://pixelfed.de/i/web/post/248939451995262976) for a while.
Does anyone know **a place online to order such a gigantic poster?** Or, do you know **where I could find a very high-res #map of the world** that I can chop, print, and stick on the wall piece by piece?
(I live, and will continue to live, in the #Madrid metropolitan area, #Spain.)
Quite interesting. 2022 report of **Reuters Institute** about the relative #audience of #media #outlets in 🇪🇸 #Spain:
https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/digital-news-report/2022/spain
Also, **Political Watch** applies the **Ad Fontes Media** methodology to the Spanish landscape and comes up with this report about #bias:

Interactive version here:
**Is there any tool to visualise (and browse) the tree of replies to a given post?** ie, see at a glance what replied to what, in full — instead of flattening everything out and losing context, as it happens by default in eg #Mastodon.

Beautiful #painting, and beautiful #ideas:
> _“I favor selectively shining a light on the offending symbols, imagery, and language, both past and present, as a reminder of our history and of how far we still have to go as a society… and of how vigilant we need to be.”_
> _“I’ve never believed my role as an #artist was to make work that ensured comfort. My paintings are purposefully subject to alternate interpretations, and a reading of Comparative Religions 101 that provokes anger is certainly possible if the viewer is a literalist. But I can’t explain the humor and irony in the work to a literalist, any more than I can explain Red to a person who is (red/green) colorblind.”_

Note to self about #online #diagrams and #charts:
1. [`excalidraw.com`](https://excalidraw.com/) for sleek hand-drawn diagrams (just a few shapes, but great UI)
1. [`app.diagrams.net`](https://app.diagrams.net/) for blocky, corporate-looking diagrams (plenty of clipart, bloated UI)
1. [`mermaid.live`](https://mermaid.live/) for auto generation of diagrams belonging to a handful of types (computing, engineering, business), similar to #Graphviz (very limited, but declarative and text-based)
1. [`asciiflow.com`](https://asciiflow.com/) for the lolz, basically
Happy #WoDES!
_World Day for the End of #Speciesism_
(I don't like “speciesism”: I suspect as an idea it is wrong, and a bad concept to try to rally people around. But I'm a #vegetarian/#vegan, and whatever draws attention to animal welfare is a push in the right direction.)
Curious about the inner workings of the @w3c? Interested in [their job openings](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Recruitment/)? Willing to join their broad community, either as a member company or as an individual contributor?
My ex-colleague @koalie has written a great intro for the world:
Reading #Dynomight explaining #DerekParfit I realise that just as #liberalism/#libertarianism is the most inclusive political/economic system because it allows for other orders to emerge within it, #consequentialism may be the most inclusive moral theory because it may contain other systems just by redefining what a “good outcome” is.
That is:
A group of free individuals (liberalism) may enter voluntary agreements and commit to redistributing their wealth (socialism), transferring all power to a certain person (autocracy), abiding by rules decided by the majority (democracy), etc.
A consequentialist, in its narrowest definition, is free to conclude that the best possible outcome is one in which they and their special ones enjoy the best of life (egoism), one where certain rules are obeyed most strictly (deontology), one where all actions align perfectly with the word of god (theological voluntarism), etc. — and to act accordingly.
