i heard a lot of words — doubt, rhetoric, conspiracy theory, alternative fact, agenda, anti-science, fundamentalism, etc — but two simple, important words were absent:
“propaganda” and “lie”
🤬
it was infuriating to hear those journalists dodge around those two simple words, 8 years on from 2016, even while explicitly describing the site as full of lies and propaganda
Heard an awesome story about a marine rescue on #NPR#PlanetMoney - the crew of an oil tanker risked their lives to rescue a tugboat in trouble during Hurricane Gordon. They discover after the fact that the tug was towing a $51 million Space Shuttle external tank, and under marine salvage law they were entitled to a reward. The rest of the story is a bit of a ride (spoiler: they DID get paid). I was disappointed to see this great story and historic court case not mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia so I've added it to a few relevant articles. https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1197956698
It's pretty amazing how many Tiny Desk Concerts there are. Every few years I dig through the back catalog – quite a range. Seems an inexhaustible resource.
Would be amazing to see one in person – lucky staff.
This garbage #NPR#goatsAndSoda article full of nearly ALL lies that is being read by every liberal & non-liberal looking for #sarscov2 guidance is highly influential in reach
Either Michael Mina & Jeremy Kamil know NOTHING or they are being paid handsomely to lie & mis-lead
Physicist Arno Penzias, who co-discovered the cosmic microwave background, helping to confirm the Big Bang theory of the universe's beginning, died on Monday at age 90.

I'm always amazed at how many musicians they fit into this small space. The sound and video production are always spot on.
Enjoy this 17 minutes... https://youtu.be/RRipadkd6wk?feature=shared
Ok, I could be reading too much into it, but it really would be nice if maybe I wasn't the only one that mentioned maybe it's something they should look into?
