Miami is not a red blob. It wasn't even a red blob during the "Scarface"

representation", then it is a ****ty representation.

Not that I'd expect different from you.


If you would not call this a "picture" what would you call it?

I definitely not a liberal, so politics has nothing to do with it, but
this is a visual representation of the "light pollution" in the US.
Hence it is a "picture". One may argue that "light pollution" is not a
problem, but the expression "light pollution" is a standard term for
light that reduces your ability to see the stars and the universe. It
is very important to astronomers.

Would you call this painting a "picture"?

The definition "picture" includes abstract paintings.

I can't figure out if you really don't understand the definition of
"picture' or you are just tweaking Bassy. Since you find Bass such a
idiot why don't you filter him? To argue over the standard definition
"picture" really makes you look foolish instead of Bass.
