(though the fine print is a little iffy, not sure how they enforce this beyond showing a government ID, which quite a few states already give to immigrants)
Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"
TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
It’s a mockup of the America the beautiful pass for 2026 - the resident version. It celebrates 250 years of America with a boring white panel on the left where a park background could go but does not. Instead there’s vast white space and then an “America 250” logo made out of script that looks like ribbons. Then on 2/3 of the card is a portrait of George Washington and then the official portrait of Trump where he’s smizing at the camera but his face can’t do that anymore. The whole thing looks like a power point slide. Yes to answer your next question you can deface it and still use it but I bet if it happens enough it will be deemed “voiding the pass” or some shit.
Give it another 18 months and that’ll be the official company line no doubt, but we’re only at “squints on parks passes” level of dictatorship.

Coincidentally this popped up on the broadcast I’m white-noising and you’re telling me THIS man can’t get more than five votes with THIS resume - which doesn’t extend to his cultural contributions and influence - yet some dude I don’t think I’ve ever heard of prior to today did???
