Shout out to school governors everywhere, it's bizarre how little awareness there is about how much volunteer effort goes in to running education in this country. Education is a state responsibility, and along with welfare and healthcare, is chronically under-resourced.

True story- In high school I used to look after the outdoor activity equipment store with friend Ian. He read Private Eye and made jokes about Trump. I didn't get it at the time. I get it now. So yes, kids in England in 1990 already made fun of him.

Please see some of these incredible men I photographed working on the book Code Talker Stories. They were humble, proud, fearless patriots. Ronald Reagan declared August 14 to be national code talker day. Yjey cant be erased. www.deborahogrady.com/portfolio-it...

today i shall mostly be assuming that the planet is both spherical, and is big enough to look flat (small angle approximations rule in this world); that it is reasonable to assume a point spread function could indeed almost look like a rectangle if you squint enough... #remotesensing #space

Trump is back at Mar-a-Fraudo this weekend playing golf games. It costs about $3M to transport a POTUS from DC to South Florida. That's enough money that USAID could feed around 250,000 kids for two weeks.

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

I'll give you weapons, but I need you to do me a favor...first. I'll support your effort, but you're going to have to sign a mineral agreement...first. That's not diplomacy, folks. It's blackmail and extortion. If Congress had even a little bit of Yankee Doodleism, they'd impeach him again!

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.
