She entered computing when the profession was in its infancy, watched people land on the Moon using her team’s work, then lived another 57 years to see software become one of the basic infrastructures of civilization. She said of Apollo: “There was no choice but to be pioneers.” What a life.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

the cornell case has me thinking about christine blasey ford and how she so bravely testified in 2018 about how future supreme court justice brett kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her. i'm thinking about what i wrote at the time and how nothing has changed:

b4 I got to college in '93, the folks who graduated just before me did an infamous "rape wall," aka writing the names of rapists in a stall of a women's bathroom of one of the libraries. It sickens me that beyond g-docs (or maybe more anonymous tech??) there literally aren't better protections now.

Third Way's narrative seems to be that Republicans have gotten more extreme while trans advocates have moderated. I don't agree that trans people were too extreme or that we've moderated besides being sidelined in the debate over our own lives, but if that's how they want to save face, okay.

Not only should engineers study history, more historians should study engineering. Concrete is the second most used material on earth, a huge part of every economy, but there are about 10 english language academic histories of it. Is it really less important than another take on Lincoln? 🗃️

They delayed my flight yesterday to clean birds out of the engines and then test the engines to verify a lack of damage from said birds. That one was disconcerting, just a bit.

Because why would engineering students ever need to study the ways their very expertise has been used and abused in the past, the way 'oh, I'm just an engineer solving a problem' has been a necessary and foundational lie in every modern system of oppression or extermination?

Sheryl Crow You sent your daughters off to college with a case of electrolit and a few packs of Plan B to share. Sure, they picked school in a state without a clinic, but you've got an inconspicuous truck & a visible gunrack. "Winding road" soundtracks the abrupt roadtrip. bsky.app/profile/greg...

The Felice Brothers You keep a stack of coasters instead of post-it notes. They mostly catch poems, a bar trick from a lifetime ago, spiraling inward when the verse demands it. Packed one each with sack lunches, back when you packed lunches. Beauty is what we do for each other with what we have.

Spending these days fact-checking and endnoting, I've been Googling at industrial scale, which has given my a brain-melting lesson in how fucked we are as a civilization. In today's installment, a quote from Geo W. Bush's 2nd inaugural in 2005 is depicted—why not?—as one from Obama's in 2013.
