- Totally agree. Nothing like confusing passengers by changing names of stations on the map.
- Maps have always had the potential to be dangerous in the wrong hands. Here's Kemi Badenoch proving the point with a map of population density arguing crime is not evenly spread. Shockingly idiotic. And that's before we even get to a critique of the map itself.

- If this Greenland nonsense makes people appreciate map projections maybe there's some benefit, though I'm sure if a certain someone found out it's real size he'd be less keen. Maybe Denmark price it based on Mercator 🤣 www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...
