Some of the meanest things I’ve ever said, I said as a grape — in an improv class, where the part let me say what I couldn’t as myself. You can’t build what you can’t name. Humor is how new ideas survive. July 4 episode: pirates who ban a letter. Enter Laughing. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

As someone who loves maps - this is a great short podcast episode. It helped me realize that the best tools & best uses of tools build one up. challenged me to see how to use tools of all kinds to become better, more skilled, wiser - not just get the job at hand done, or get from point a to point b

Highway 101 flooded Jan 3. Google Maps sent cars over the mountain — one-lane roads, blind curves, rain. Their phones knew exactly where they were. They just had no idea what was around them. I turned around because I knew where I was. New Invent podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

This was sent to you by Stand up for Science

Hello awesome science supporters! We are looking forward to an amazing turnout for tomorrow's Stand Up for Science rally at the SF Civic Center.

A few late-breaking details:

1. We strongly encourage you to take public transportation. We are expecting a big crowd and parking will be very difficult. Transit info is on the main eventbrite page.

2. We will have poster-making supplies on site, so if you don't yet have a sign/poster, come early and make one!

3. For song lyrics, a post-rally survey, and more info about how you can support science, we made a PUBLIC FOLDER.

If you know of people who plan to attend but have not RSVP'd through Eventbrite, no problem. Please broadcast this message.
