Carl Sagan explains how the ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round and calculated its circumference over 2,000 years ago.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

Had a little fun with this one. stephaniekelton.substack.com/p/wheres-the...

Say no to Nazis and their 'Roman Salutes'.

Did you know i narrated my own audiobook? Also My Ebook is on sale right now for 3.99! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/harry...

This wasn’t some liberal holdover. This wasn’t a career bureaucrat. This was someone Trump’s team installed. And even she couldn’t stomach what they were doing. She wasn’t alone. Five more federal prosecutors resigned in protest. Bless their courage!

Even if you don't indulge in Valentine's Day, I have a little something for all my blue crayons on BlueSky!

Imagine if Democrats weren't so scared of the Left and learned how to educate, agitate and organize.

Doing great 👍

I somehow missed this incredible piece by @daveadenison.bsky.social when it came out in 2020. thebaffler.com/salvos/the-m...

Feels like we all need to add as much pro-social, Mr Rogers like activity as possible just as a homeostatic response to all the ambient evil floating around right now. Anyway I just signed up to read with little kids on Wednesday mornings before work.

👇🏻 I see people are still doom reporting the nat’l debt. The ‘debt’ isn’t a debt at all, of course. It’s simply a record of the Govt’s net spend INTO the private sector above taxing OUT. As fiat currency govts freely create their own currency, it never needs be paid back.

been thinking a lot about the French revolution today and what historically people inevitably do when tyrants push their luck

30 years ago Spitting Image dared to broadcast the truth about Israel. Now no one dares.

Let me reach out to Americans in particular, at this time. We will have to emerge from what feels like a modern Dark Age of plutocracy & ecological destruction, in time to focus on well-being and ecological reality. Only one global program covers both MMT & ecological economics. This one.

For reference.

Despite what this headline would have you believe Israel has violated the ceasefire multiple times already, while lebanon is focusing on rebuilding and helping it's people, Israel is continuing to maim civilians, of course silence from all world "leaders" but had it been lebanon there'd be outrage.

Under 'Free Market' Capitalism you will never have a free press, if they are small they will drown them out, if they are large they will buy them out. You will always have the airwaves and the papers flooded with the lies of the ultra rich.

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports: www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-...

Note this down
