How many people do we need on a spaceship if we want an extrasolar colony to be viable (genetically)? Someone actually looked at that, and the answer is 1,400-6,800 (but might still require some population control).

So where are the central points of the UK population (in statistical terms)? Alisdair Rae has crunched the numbers & come up with this... for those of us North of the dividing line what is of interest is the statistical centre of population distribution is around Preston (perhaps further West than one might have expected). #UK #population [method of calculation in alt.text] h/t LinkedIn

Another important point about thousands of people protesting every night (and sometimes during the day) in Tirana, Albania for 33 nights in a row so far is that there are only 2.36M in the whole country as of the 2025 census. Yet thousands of Albanians are showing up night after night to protest against corruption and for democracy. #Resistance #FlamingoRevolution #Albania #Corruption #Balkans #Europe #Democracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Albania#Population

https://www.npr.org/2026/04/09/nx-s1-5779627/birthrate-united-states-babies-immigration 710,000 fewer babies were born last year in U.S. compared with two decades ago The impact of that change in real numbers is sizable: In 2007, there were 4,316,233 babies born. Last year, even though the nation's population as a whole is larger, there were only 3,606,400 newborns. relatively good news (population is still growing) for an overpopulated world. #population #environment #birthrate

A #homeless guy lifts a bread out of hunger, it's called burglary, but a cool-looking guy rips off an entire #population, while spreading disparities wider than ever, it's called #entrepreneurship. What a #world! What a pathetic world! Abhijit Naskar, High Voltage Habib: Gospel of Undoctrination #quote #quotes #billionaires
