@danielgiertz Givet den respons jag får när jag tar upp detta i föreläsningar känns det inte som det är kunskap som fastnar. Jag har inget minne av det från skolan. Men det vore oerhört intressant att veta hur många lärare som regelbundet tar upp detta när man pratar om världskartor.
@danielgiertz Ur mitt perspektiv skulle jag förstås gärna se att man tar upp det långt tidigare än gymnasiet...

@chrisnoessel I’m just listening to nytimes.com/2021/12/06/opi… 😊

@brad_frost Just got this. For a tool I have a paid account with using another email address. Now I'm thinking of canceling because of their "professional persistence".

@polaris So within the purpose and context of the thread, and the blog post, what do you think needs to be clarified?
↪ Replying to @BenZissimos
@BenZissimos I love that. I remember reading a story about a person who after a few years discovered the underground ride they had made to work every day was faster to walk 😅 Can't remember which stations that was though.
↪ Replying to @Scott_Matter
@Scott_Matter Many argue that it is inspired by Dymaxion but I don't think that has been officially stated.
↪ Replying to @polaris
@polaris Yes, it appears based on Mercator, which is what the "M" in UTM stands for?

@polaris
@polaris I'm not sure how to interpret this. Historians appear in agreement that the map was designed as a tool for marine navigation. Your argument is that it was not?

@nickf Peacock we don't have here but I found it has just been added on @Viaplay_SE !
Now I know in Sweden it's called "Vita huset". Which is just The White House.
@nickf @Viaplay_SE (I have my phone set to English, hence that bilingual interface. It can get really weird with Swedish apps.)

@johangranstrom Alltid något. Känns som att @medierna bör nappa på detta till nästa avsnitt. Typisk felrapportering med stora påföljder.
↪ Replying to @johangranstrom
@johangranstrom Har du sett någon vidare uppföljning på denna story? Saknar en mer ordentlig granskning känns det som. Var och varannan jag pratar med verkar ha köpt ursprungshistorien med hull och hår.

@LaEscude @ilaconf Oh, cool! Thanks for the tip.
↪ Replying to @nickf
@nickf Haha wow, thank you Nick. That is awesome. I hadn't watched the West Wing. Now I feel like I have to. If I can find it somewhere...
↪ Replying to @reg_inee
@reg_inee 💯 I advocate for the Authagraph projection, rather than Mercator, becoming the default choice for the 2D representation of the world in all classrooms.

@ethicsconsult @EthicsInBricks Thank you Suzanne. 🙏

@leeloowrites Hehe. I wrote two replies to that – deleted both before posting. Getting better at knowing when to walk away. Deleted replies can be a good coping mechanism for me at times.
