Yay! It's #internationalwomensday (and in case some of you were wondering, International Men's Day is on November 19th)
Brian TransplantSupport your #library. Even if you don't borrow anything:
- Stop in and get a card, to help their numbers
- See what services they offer. You might even need one.
- See what groups and events they might be hosting
- See what else they have to lend, other than just books
Juggling With Eggs#Sunak: “There is a growing consensus that mob rule is replacing democratic rule. And we’ve got to collectively, all of us, change that urgently.”
Erm, yes…but the ‘mob’ is the Tory party, it’s media outriders, Tufton St think tanks and those who have a financial interest in continuing to pollute our planet.
MPs homes shouldn’t be protest targets…but outside city/town halls?
Prof. Sam LawlerI just looked up Voyager 1's current position for a talk and saw something wild: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/
The distance between Earth and Voyager 1 is actually *decreasing* right now (even though the distance between Voyager 1 and the Sun is increasing). A website bug?
Nope! Earth moves really fast around the Sun. Right now we're moving faster toward Voyager 1 than it's flying away from us
Earth orbits at 30 km/s around the Sun, Voyager is going "only" 17 km/s. I love orbital dynamics!
kcarruthersI’ve been re-reading all my history books about the Nazis. One thing that strikes me is how hard it was to fight back against Nazism from inside. The normative culture is so strong and everybody is just going along. Ordinary folks, with denouncing their neighbours to the Gestapo. The Gestapo was tiny only 32k. It was the ordinary people that were informing on their neighbours. Ordinary people enabled Nazism.
David ZipperNew study on "car harm":
"Since their invention, cars ... have killed 60–80 million people and injured at least 2 billion."
"Currently, 1 in 34 deaths are caused by [cars]."
Charlie StrossThe more I learn about Liz Truss (post-Prime Ministership: before she was PM she made zero impact on me) the crazier I think she is. Paranoid conspiracy theories about the British Deep State sabotaging her plans for a libertarian utopia, Trans moles in the civil service ... next she'll be ranting about the purity of our precious bodily fluids and flogging herself into a Bible-inspired BDSM frenzy.
