Trump's apparent willingness to stay involved in Venezuela and his intensifying rhetoric about expanding U.S. power elsewhere in the hemisphere are making some of his die-hard supporters nervous.
The junior standout scored 14 after regulation in a high-noon showdown between the top two teams in the state Saturday in the Kay Yow Showcase at Mater Dei.
"Even when he was out of favour, he was aware of his out-of-favourness and he was exploiting that because to try not to be out of favour would have been deeply uncool." - Paul Morley on David Bowie

@soaproot I don't remember your map of the Americas with south on top, but that doesn't mean you didn't have it growing up.
The West Wing episode features "The Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality" lobbying the White House to abandon the Mercator projection. It's one of many episodes in the first season where Sam (played by Rob Lowe) is told to go sit in a room with someone-or-other whom no one else wants to deal with, then Sam gets convinced they have a point, and tries to take it up the ladder only to be told, in this case, we're not changing the map. Some read that character as comic relief but to me, he was the Pu, the "un-carved block," of Taoism. I haven't done much reading on Taoist teachings, but there was this amazing book _The Tao of Pooh_ (yes, as in "Winnie the") which we read in a class I took Freshman year called "The Philosophy of Aesthetics."
Anyway, I think the best explanation for the Mercator projection still being in such wide use is inertia. Or, if you'd rather, "because."
Heh, inertia is there sure but I'm in a charmed world because I more often see things like 538's debate (from a few years ago), not about WHETHER to have an equal area way of showing congressional districts, but WHICH equal area map to use (the one which distorted shapes I sort of liked but I guess it wasn't popular, so they switched to a geographical map where instead of coloring states/districts, they just put one equal-size dot per district on the map).
Something along those lines. To be honest I'm doing this all from memory so I'm not sure exactly what maps they used in different years but they did have the "equal area per district" property, as seen in the map you post here.
December 11, 2023 – Making fun of Tailwind AND React in a single cartoon? Count me in! This is a version of a cartoon I did long ago when I drew at the college newspaper, poking fun at the school's quarterback tendency to choke or get injured in the key games. Back then, my editor chose not to publish it, which was probably the best decision considering how serious Texans are about football.
The wave of price hikes is not just affecting food, but also transportation. JR East has implemented the first full-scale price hike since privatization in
Nothing does more for your self-confidence than a dude handing you a big to-go tray of baklava and you say “as-salamu alaykum” and he says “wa alaykum, my brother” and tosses in a free piece of kadayif for you.
I purposely made my “Entry to Left‑Wing Anarchist Reading” page look almost exactly like a Google Doc, just so the normies wouldn’t freak out and bounce the second they open it.
i've neverwatched any videos by anark but this is quite well resesarched, Capital as Power sounds like a great read, a lot of the readingsi was going to suggest are in that video, like 'insurrection at the intersections' and 'anarchism and the black revolution'
I'm working on the list now, I'm just trying to keep it short and only things I've personally read, I think that would be a good approach, like keep it broad and concise, and so very selective, keep people options without overloading them
preamble: because i tend to overthink things and want to help you, i'm gonna say a bunch of stuff you're free to ignore, they are merely suggestions
so this is an introduction so it's not so much a definitive collection but a popular and general one aimed at 'normies', so it should include classics and representative works across a broad spectrum, from different times and place, so anarchism seems serious, diverse, including many admirable people with intersting ideas, might also want to include a list of archives and resources at the bottom, like marxists.org spunk library., zlib like this one has classics anarchyisorder.org/
or other general resources for educational materials, also maybe prefer usa.anarchistlibraries.net over the main one, or include both, like there are dark web mirrors of anarchist or marxist library, that's cool af, but in general reframe from linking to shady corpo type sites, just sites that are relatively autonomous
consider having a little more vari

consider having a little more variety in the selection, it's very red and black currently, which is cool, personallyi am very class struggle oriented but i think you could add a little green stuff, just a little nihilism, a little decolonialism, maybe have sections on platformism and insurrectionary anarchism along with syndicalism -- some modern pamphlets, you shouldn't include everything, like Bob Book and Murray Blackchin, fuck them, they're cops, or at least deeply unserious, let's be serious here, let's try and stray away from from great man bs, narrow sectarianism or whatever,and for each other include just a few texts at the most and let users look further if they want... a lot of stuff doesn't belong in an intro, but that's up to you.
also want to design things around most accessible option, so like instead of linking directly to pdf, link to a website or entry where different formats are available, for example audiobooks we should link those, for example Audio Zine has a lot of classics, we could probably find audio books for most of the texts if we're dealing with very well known books. So like each entry can have a pdf, an html, epub, and audio.. and the sites that host it should be other anarchist sites that can get people down a rabbit hole. Luckily the anarchist libraries and libcom make that pretty easy, just gotta link to them along with an audio zine
with accessibility comes alt and title text and semantics and rel attributes, rdfa mf, microformats dawg, seo that shit
As the list i'm noticing these fall into lots of broad categories, like History, Theory, Biography, Geography, they're all interconnected, organizing this stuff coherently will become more challenging the longer it gets
@EndlessMason None of these requests are sent to Google. This page will be updated to clarify that it is designed to behave exactly the same, but is hosted in a more private environment.
@EndlessMason Ah, just to clarify, I intentionally designed my “Entry to Left‑Wing Anarchist Reading” page on my own website to look almost exactly like a Google Doc. The idea was to make it feel familiar so that casual visitors wouldn’t get spooked and leave right away.

Colin Ward: 'Anarchy as Theory of Social Organization' and maybe Anarchy In Action usa.anarchistlibraries.net/lib… one by Kropotkin that's short and Easy to read is "The State: It's Historic Role"

Gotta have less old white men, and more exotic old white men, so like some essays for Flores bros or Lucy Parsons
a bit on Anarchist Theories of Education, Paul Goodman Ferrer theanarchistlibrary.org/librar… a section Anarchism and Anthropology maybe Graeber's Debt or something shorter libcom.org/article/debt-first-… Perhaps, just perhaps Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent, maybe, and possibly some of his foriegn policy books

Bonnano - From Riot to Insurrection usa.anarchistlibraries.net/lib… There are several documentaries you could link to, there is the embarassing Anarchy In America, there's a 3 parter I think "No Gods No Managers" There's lots of video channels i guess, idk, do people still watch submedia?
Alex Berkman's classic, and easy to read, introduction to anarchist politics. A very good starting point for people interested in getting a general overview of the theory and practice of anarchism.

The Mercator projection overuse puzzles me to be honest, when there are so many good equal area projections.
