I’m not on here much anymore, but I just had to log on to express my excitement that @SceneOnRadio has a new season coming out and it’s on capitalism! I’ve wanted them to do a season on this topic for years. Can’t wait to start listening!

@AC_Doherty @BartlettQuantum If only I had the publication record and weren’t 50 years old…

[Ian Durham @quantummoxie]

So excited that @SceneOnRadio is back…

Meanwhile they’re probably cutting funds to academic departments.

You can't make this shit up.

@tahantech Somewhere in the New York City Subway system?

@LOTAirlinesUS wow. I travel a lot (Sapphire level on OneWorld). I have NEVER had as bad a flying experience. And I haven’t even left the ground yet.

@perronjk Fair enough.

The Infinite Gift 🎁

This is an interesting object where the side of the nth box is 1/√n. As n→+∞, the gift has infinite surface area and length but finite volume!

@EricAspling 16 for me (but I did grow up on the border).

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.

After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Let me get this straight...

Students getting relief from onerous debt is unconstitutional.

But justices secretly getting hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in gifts, vacations, and free housing and education for their family members is just fine.

Hello?
