> The controversy associated with the statement “Ada Lovelace was the first computer programmer” reveals more about modern attitudes towards women [than her] achievements. [Her 1843 algorithm] was so advanced, that it was still utilised in record-breaking computation of Bernoulli numbers in 2008.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.
“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

Also, hoping the lady who says Obama is guilty of treason, the guy who thinks Trump is Jesus, the lady sleeping with her security detail and who drinks on the job, and the guy who harvests raccoon penises will vote the president mentally unfit for office doesn't seem like the soundest strategy.
Waking up to discover that evidence has been released proving something we all knew. The Supreme Court's efforts to stop the Obama clean power plant rules were rooted in explicit, corrupt efforts to protect the fossil fuel industry.
Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars.
I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.

Exactly! The first chart is what economists, pols, etc point to, the second chart is what regular folks experience trying to get through the week. (src: www.bls.gov/charts/consu...
So many good solutions proposed by Conway and Sargent here. Dems MUST address accountability for this current illegal regime and then address structural rules to prevent the next one.
Anne Hathaway bought the rights to a novel about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to actually live the life she's been selling online. The book is called Yesteryear. It came out 3 days ago. The film rights were already sold to Hathaway, who will produce and star.
Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.
So there's a really important debate on civil liberties and national security going on on the House floor right now. It is shameful that it's taking place at this late hour of the night / morning. But I'm going to at least do something productive & try to explain here:
Exactly one year ago today:
My company lets you take your birthday off (does not count against your PTO balance).
“National security is not a blank check to proceed with otherwise unlawful activity”
Quote of the year?
"rate limited/try again" has a Charlie Brown/football vibe to it 😂
After my #Cancer diagnosis, I thought the hardest part would be getting better.
I didn’t expect how much of it would be trying to keep up with everything around it.
This week’s piece is about that feeling.

I dunno, some of these folks have shown a clearer-eyed understanding of what needs to be done than a good number of Democrats.
Good inside look, but I am also a bit surprised if folks didn't recognize this was what was happening.
If roles were reversed, the GOP would be out there screaming about some outlandish, made-up number ($10B a day on the war!) and either let that stick or force the administration to ante up real numbers.
Because its almost always "sorry I got caught" not "sorry I did the thing"
This is an important point to remember every time some yahoo politician who wants to defund the NSF reads the title of a grant in dumbstruck tones: "They're studying the venom of Gila monsters? What? Who's *that* for?"
All of us, Gomer. It's how science actually works.
All law students should study this essay simply for gold-standard legal analysis.

The ad. "Last minute polar or grizzly bear!"
Donald Trump Jr. is a founder and partner at Field Ethos Outrider.
Its newsletter just advertised a polar bear hunt.
It looks like some Democrats are preparing to help the GOP reauthorize a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens.
Zero Democrats should vote to allow the regime to gobble up mass surveillance data to punish Trump’s enemies and round up immigrants.
I wonder why he only mentioned US sales? 🤔

Elizabeth Banks is underappreciated
“‘Every American should be shocked that we're incarcerating thousands of children,’ Leecia Welch, chief legal counsel at Children's Rights, an organization providing legal support for children in detention, said. ‘It just adds up to an incredible amount of trauma.’”
