#JamesBurke

Don't worry, he's still here.

As a Great Communicator - explainer, egalitarian writer and presenter - up there in the very top tier with Sir D Attenborough.

This, #BBC, in case you'd forgotten, is how it gets done, properly..

Almost half a century on, "Connections" remains a masterpiece of television. I found it enthralling when it was first broadcast, despite being too young to follow all of James Burke's arguments, and it still draws me in, forcing me to think even while it entertains.

In 1978, British #science historian #JamesBurke hosted the #BBC series Connections, exploring how inventions throughout history are interlinked.⁠ ⁠Burke delivers one of TV’s most iconic moments. He turns and points to the sky exactly as a rocket launches behind him.⁠ ⁠Absolutely brilliant #TVSky 👏👌🔄

The #JamesBurke #CONNECTIONS software is available on Archive. 2 CDs. Says it runs on Mac and Windows, though circa 1995. So you may have to run it in emulation mode.

#PBS matters. If #CarlSagan or #JamesBurke flipped that switch for you, you know it matters. #Trump, #MAGA #GOP are killing PBS by eliminating their budget. Donate to PBS if you can.

The candle flame gutters.
The demons begin to stir.

Was #PBS an intellectual lifesaver for you?
Did PBS open up the universe for you?

Now during the Trump regime, we need those, whose lives were bettered by PBS, to help keep them afloat until someone rids us of this meddling #PedoPresident.

In 1978 TV series #Connections #JamesBurke explains the pyramids / Nile river flooding learning of humans.

It's credulous that the American Dollar Bill ($1 Bill) ahs this meaning on it and USA people on #July4 in Texas don't even have one drop of education on the topic.

Had planned to do a Sainsbury's shop today, but the weather turned 'orrible, with a capital 'O', and so turned back.
The upside being, the arrival of my ordered DVD of James Burke's "Connections".

The Day the Universe Changed - S1 • E6 - Credit Where It's Due: The Factory and Marketplace Revolution Locates the origins of contemporary consumerism in the English industrial Revolution, powered by religious dissenters barred from all activities except trade. The invention of the steam engine, new forms of credit, surplus wealth, and opening markets laid the foundation for industrial society.

Wow, James Burke goes full British imperial using social Darwinism as justification on this one. Not everything he did aged well it seems.

What is with #JamesBurke and not understanding volume leveling? Like, it's consistently bad sound editing across every one of his series somehow...

I was raised on #pbs. First #sesamestreet and The Electric Company, then Zoom & #Connections. I subscribed to Curiosity Stream to our Roku last week and now I’m watching the new version. Give me James Burke connecting Napoleon’s toothpick to Nielsen ratings any day. #popscience #popsci #jamesburke
