The core message of Marcus Garvey in the reggae movement is often overlooked because of its underlying violence…but it is the core - death to the oppressor.
Reggae is revolution, not peace.

✨In the 11th century, the famous Muslim polymath Al-Biruni figured out the Earth's radius using nothing more than a mountain and a bit of trigonometry. 📐
The insight was brilliant:
Stand on a mountain, and the horizon dips below the horizontal. That dip isn't an optical illusion; it's a geometric signal. It creates a right triangle where the mountain's height (h) and the Earth's radius (R) are the only variables.
Measuring the mountain's height without climbing down:
He used a simple trigonometric trick: from two points on the plain, he measured the angle to the peak. Knowing the distance between those points, he calculated the mountain's height with a formula surveyors still use today:
H = D / (cot A1 – cot A2)
From the peak, he measured the dip angle to the horizon: α = 34′ (just over half a degree):
R = h * cos(α) / (1 - cos(α))
How did he compute the cosine of such a tiny angle?
Without modern calculators, he used a sophisticated technique: he started with the known value of cos(60°) and used the half-angle formula to work his way down to the required value for his 34′ angle.
He calculated the Earth's radius as 6,340 km. The modern value is 6,371 km.
An error of less than 1%. In 1030 CE.
PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”
It’s an excellent question what did the fuck Black people do to white people?. the answer is nothing. We never fucking enslaved them for 500 years.. We never raped them for five fucking hundred years.. yeah, I’m using those language. We never colonized them.. We never organized killing their leaders.. We never invade their countries.. We never sanction their countries and kill millions.. whenever impulse Jim Crow. We never created the KKK.. We never created large that specifically target white people.. and white people refuses to take any fucking responsibility.

Long before he stepped into an operating room to shadow physicians, Marcus Bell knew he wanted a life devoted to medicine. The Alabama A&M sophomore biology major from Atlanta, Georgia, recently completed the Meharry Medical College BS/MD Program alongside 25 fellow Bulldogs, giving Alabama A&M the largest delegation among the 11 participating historically Black colleges and universities. #StartHere
