Inspired by my daughter, I worked for 15 years to make Grandmother Fish a reality. Now it's in Italian, Chinese, and Japanese! Hoot hoot! twitter.com/GrandmotherFis…

With Grandmother Fish, little kids mimic the sounds and motions of our ancestors as they learn the story of #evolution. There’s no other book like it. “Highly recommended for homes, schools, and libraries.” —School Library Journal @MacKidsBooks @MacKidsSL #ChildrensBooks

Ten years ago, this blog post by @bjkingape put Grandmother Fish on the map. It went viral, and my small run of self-published books sold out. Wish I'd printed a lot more copies! This question is just as timely today as it was 10 years ago. #evolution npr.org/sections/13.7/…

@sociologyWV Cars these days have anti-lock brakes so you can't make the mistake of locking your brakes in a skid. Tractors don't seem to have this feature.

@sociologyWV Reportedly Shakespeare was in a power struggle with the well-loved clown William Kempe. It's easy to imagine Shakespeare steaming at Kempe getting the last laugh every night. The past was weird, man. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_K…

@JonathanMTweet LOL I didn't even know about that. Though I must say, it depends on the quality of the clowning.

Thinking about this thread and things lost to time. Like I'll never really see a Shakespeare play -- not the play the audience it was written for 400 years would see.

Okay, everyone watch this 7 minute side-by-side of the opening scene for 4 different movies (link in comments), and I'll start stream of consciousness and see how long I last. Actual text for reference, although you need to read it AFTER you watch folger.edu/explore/shakes…

@SeattleDSA I'm a Seattle leftie. Is it true that DSA is for abolishing police & prisons? That's what I heard, but it seems out of step with the socialism that I grew up with or that I see elsewhere in the world, so maybe I heard wrong. Thanks.

Trump to generals: Loosen up! Cheer for me! Or leave if you want. But in which case there goes your future <laughter> An amazing scene. The only thing they find funny is when he alludes to his own authoritarianism. No doubt about what they’re thinking.

@KevinLamb74 @atlasgames Also Metamorphosis Alpha. The second RPG I ever played was SF: Have Laser Will Travel. That was the game I invented when I didn't have enough money to buy Metamorphosis Alpha. 2/2

So far I've given away a bunch of old games & raised $1872 for @PPFA. The project is on hold, but if someone wants to top me off with an offer of $128 + shipping they could get a lot of these cool, old minis. 1/2 photos.app.goo.gl/urLJ6ig6rkB3WG…

Presumably we should be trusting RFK Jr, because he's not an expert I wonder what the qualifications are for not being an expert

Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

For those over 30, growing up, were there any trans people in your schools? If not, what about lgbtqia2s+ people?

Three days after a mass murder of six, including three 9-year olds by a trans-identified female, this is what the spokeswoman for the President said: "LGBTQI+ kids are resilient. They are fierce. They fight back. They’re not going anywhere. And we have their back. This administration has their back."

@ed_hagen I value Fuentes because he believes in his position enough to lay it out there. In Creative Spark, for example, he describes human society before we "invented gender". Pretty bold! His description is short, and I wish he'd gone into lots more detail so readers could judge better.

Tina Peters was convicted by a jury of her peers, and is serving a prison sentence for her crimes. I will not be intimidated by the Trump Administration’s threats. Colorado will always stand for the rule of law, even when the President refuses to do so. thehill.com/homenews/admin…

@CJFerguson1111 Yep. If one's political platform is anti-America, anti-cop, and anti-white-people, you have a chance if your facts are compelling. If you facts are iffy, however, all the negativity toward the average voter is going to come back as negativity from the average voter to you.

@MattPolProf Yes, debating is terrible, yet people think it's productive. How about, "Engage in open-hearted dialogue with me, bro, so we can each understand the other's position better"?

English

Matt McManus@MattPolProf·13 Ağu

Depressing thing about the whole "debate me bro" thing is how clearly its the opposite of anything like a Socratic argument. Everyone comes in convinced they have truth in hand and the goal is to retrench the doxa of the already convinced as firmly as positive.
