Wonderful map!
So 4 countries don't have to move at all.
4 countries move into their neighbours.
Can you spot these?
Hilarious that the Koreas have to move but are still neighbours!
What if the largest countries had the largest population? Australia would move to Spain and Pakistan to Australia. buff.ly/2yvHaej

By the way, the data comes from a 2025 survey on US Civility & Morality.
The data is apparently available here but you have to create an account with them to download it and receive their spam presumably.

We need to do the same in the UK!
Ett klassiskt familjedrama:
Centerpartiet är favoritbarnet som kommer undan med vad som helst.
Vänsterpartiet är hackkycklingen som får skulden för all skit, oavsett vem som började.
Miljöpartiet är den bortglömda mellansystern, som förmodligen tar hämnd vid bouppteckningen.

Blonde joke du jour:
During a recent IT password audit, it was found that a blonde was using the following password: "MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento."
When asked why she had chosen such a long password, she said she was told that it had to be at least eight characters long and include at least one capital.

My email inbox is full of this.

More like Corned Beef. First bite is OK but it quickly leaves you unsatisfied and slightly sick.
