The ongoing story of Eratosthenes' measurement, grounded in ancient evidence.

Heads up 99%.

Whenever someone from a think tank talks about “the economy”, mentally insert the words “rich people’s yacht money” into the sentence.

We can’t provide free healthcare, because it might harm rich people’s yacht money.

Nurses are going to have to feed themselves from food banks in order to protect rich people’s yacht money.

We’ve decided to let kids work in slaughter houses to help boost rich people’s yacht money.

It works every time. Give it a try.

Public service announcement, just in case anyone had forgotten: Covid is still out there and getting it still sucks. I didn’t wear a mask on a busy ferry last week and I am absolutely paying for it now by being stuck inside/sick/frustrated and having to cancel and rearrange all sorts of fun things this week. If you’re in a crowded space, FFP2 or N95 masks are definitely still worth wearing! #Covid #masks #LearnFromMyMistakes
