Happy birthday to #physicist Harriet Brooks (1876 - 1933) who discovered atomic recoil, Radon & recognized radioactive elements could undergo chains of transmutations into a series of new elements. #nuclear #physics⁠
⁠
She was Rutherford’s 1st grad student at McGill. After publishing her results in 1899 she completed her MSc in 1901 on “Damping of Electrical Oscillations,” before embarking on #radioactivity research.⁠🧵

Hey you

Yeah, you

Yeah, you, specifically.

You're a nice person and I like you. Yes, you, specifically.

That voice in your head that tells you that nobody really cares about you is an asshole. It's lying to you.

You have great kindness in you, and I value absolutely nothing more highly. 💜

I pronounce ssh “sash” because I pronounce rsh “rash”.

War is externalities all the way down.

Ran across this and stopped everything to watch. Because I follow the RULES. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPCJIB1f7jk

If buying doesn't create ownership, then pirating doesn't destroy it.

Morning, fuckers.

Reminder: care for your local baby tranny. Yes, I know they can be exhausting even when they're being chaperoned by their actual family (older sister, 38, in this case, to her 22), but who wasn't?

Keep them out of danger. Teach them basic survival skills. Correct them when they're screwing up. Above all, move Heaven, Earth and Hell for them: no one else will.

Love them. (You know you needed that and no one was there.)

Out for another merely long day, not an endless one like yesterday. See you later.

Yes, Nancy, because Fritzi is bisexual and she only wants good things for you

One of the most baffling things about the modern world is just how fucking passive everyone is while a handful of people destroy everything.

I have clarified any and all confusions you may have had about ancient Chinese political thought in one convenient chart.

Larry Correia: see, the problem is that GRR Martin didn't finish Game of Thrones
Correia: now publishers refuse to take a chance on multi-book epic fantasy series
Correia: perhaps GRR should have thought about how that would affect me
Correia: the protagonist of reality

I’ve been deeply reflecting on the Prairieland sentencing since it was announced yesterday. It’s weighing heavy on my heart. 💔

Imagine spending 30 years in prison for moving a box of zines. Literally. Meanwhile, Jan 6 *actual* domestic terrorists are all pardoned.

This whole idea of antifa being an “organization” or a “cell” is the epitome of fascist totalitarianism propaganda.

In his sentencing statement, Song said “what kind of people are not against fascism?” That’s the question we need to keep pushing. We need to force fascists who pretend they are otherwise to answer that question out in the open. Relentlessly.

Song’s mother said “he’s accepted full responsibility for what actually happened. But he will never accept responsibility for a lie — a government lie made to prosecute innocent people in order to get political persecutions.”

Fuck ICE. Fuck fascism. Fuck dictators. And fuck billionaires.

I programmed python for a living in the late 1990's, as I got into data analysis I switched to R in the very late 1990's and early 2000's, then in 2019 or so switched almost entirely to Julia. I also have experience in C, C++, Common Lisp and lots of other languages.

I need to write *modern* python for micropython for my project with my kid. What's like the 3 page zine refresher on modern python I should read? #python #programming #micropython

I dislike nightmares that have me laughing or screaming in my sleep. Please degrade better, brain

Missing my father in these last hours of Father’s Day. He wasn’t a great dad. He often wasn’t a good dad. And he hurt me deeply emotionally as a young child; his unacknowledged alcoholism made him absent and angry, which has contributed greatly to my insecure attachments and my fawning behaviors.
But he was my daddy, and he had kindness in him once i was an adult, and i miss him dearly now. Both Father’s Day and his birthday are this month, and I’m once again I’m just a girl wishing her dad were around.
If you have good father figures in your life, tell them you love them. And if you’re a dad with a daughter, no matter how grown up she is, call her and tell her you love her. She needs to hear it. 😭
