MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Yeah, he died in debtor's prison but he may have literally kickstarted the industrial british empire into global imperialism cuz he knew where all the coal deposits in the country were, even if they were below the surface. 021

MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 14/08/2026If you're at all interested in this subject I recommend 'The Map That Changed the World' about Will Smith, a british geologist who made the first modern geologic map of the UK. It's astounding what he figured out and which parts we just know nowadays. 330
MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The main issue was that in ye olden times we didn't even know that rocks got older the deeper you dug, we really didn't understand *anything* about structural and worldwide geology until really recently. 240
MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 14/08/2026It's more nuanced than that. The main sticking point is that people generally agree we have one part of the theory wrong, but nobody can agree which part it is. Whether it's about density or heat or general methods of movement. (Disclaimer: I was in school a decade ago) 130
MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 14/08/2026As a geologist, there actually still are people that argue about plate tectonics because the concept covers 98% of all geologic formations, but the last 2% are just ??????. The funniest example of this is the rocky mountains which formed in a way that shouldn't be possible with plate tectonics. 250
MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 04/08/2026He pays for the nyt and a trans woman told him pretty non confrontationally that it's a transphobic establishment. This led to a bunch of "I have trans friends" and bluesky banning the original trans woman. 062

MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 13/05/2026I have literally never gotten a bruise getting a blood draw in america, every single time I get a blood draw here it's bruised. Is this transphobia or are your nurses really this much worse at it? 300
MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Yeah, they're not firing on each other, they're *dropping* on each other. Clearly the ceasefire was just talking about guns and other weapons that 'fire'. 010

MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 16/03/2026It also just fucks up the lighting in every single scene (which is way less important) but it makes no sense that digital foundry would like this if they weren't veing paid to like it. Fucking idiot assholes. 1211
MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 10/03/2026That's probably who I meant lol, it's a bad idea to social media within ten minutes of waking up 010
MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 10/03/2026I just looked it up cuz I just woke up and I didn't reaize the same guy directed almost every single pokemon movie, why did he have the sauce for the first three or so??? 140
MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 10/03/2026The animation director was given full control if i remember correctly. He was also planning for the girl's story to be way darker, but they made him put stuff in the credits scene to make her family show up. 100

MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 03/03/2026You also have to remember they specifically target uneducated people suffering from poverty, which just happens to mostly be people of color and true believers. Either they have been systemically failed or they truly don't care if pete hegseth drunkenly tells them to shoot a child or both! 010

MaddieRocks @maddierocks.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Definitely noticed the same thing in the US, once I changed my name legally on everything it was easier. But even funnier, as an american in London, the government has no record of my gender other than my passport. The NHS has been urgently calling me for a pap smear for a year now. 060
