This is a fascinating story. Marsham and 6 generations of his family kept a detailed log of specific signs of the onset of spring...for 222 years! Starting in pre-industrial Britain is it the longest science experiment of its kind ever undertaken. Really worth a read ⤵️

Terry Pratchett's "Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness". The best quote I've ever read about why being poor can be so expensive.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.
We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

When somebody posts something I disagree with, but which is obviously designed to get a reaction, I avoid giving the post that oxygen. I see no point in helping somebody start a fire I don't want. I see every point in knowing who the firestarters are. Comments?
