A digital illustration in a colored pencil style. A drawing of a Polaroid SX-70, a foldable instant camera that some would say is one of the best cameras ever in history. It is silver and black with patches of brown fake leather on some of the body panels. It is unfolded into its characteristic mass of unlikely angles. The camera is set against a background rectangle filled with the colors filled with the colors of the Polaroid packaging rainbow. A photo is protruding from the camera and has developed to reveal only white letters on black reading ‘Maybe it’ll happen today’.

"Republicans never objected to weaponizing the DOJ. They just wanted custody of the weapon." These are powerful words with which to understand MAGA and the GOP ANYTHING that seems objectively bad, and they object to, they don't actually object - they just want to weaponize it in their favor.

Katie Zacharia sat on the advisory board of an organization that calls for women who have abortions to be executed “in the public square,” and for pro-choice Americans to lose their right to hold public office.

I'm really glad to see folks outside of my nerdy corner of the world highlighting the way Trump may be using Venezuela to create a self-funding Pentagon. Trump's effort flies in the face of the key reason Congress has the power of the purse -- to keep the executive from self-funding the military.

"the Lauren error": One day, her daughter Lauren, then four years old, was playing with the command module simulator at the
Instrumentation Lab when she somehow activated a pre-launch program, called P01, while the simulator was in midflight - which
crashed the simulator altogether. Hamilton created a program add-on in the technical documentation warning users not to launch P01 during flight.
She also proposed a software fix to prevent the error happening during a real mission, but she was overruled on the grounds that the highly trained astronauts were never going to make that same mistake. Yet during the Apollo 8 mission in 1968, that's exactly what happened: Jim Lovell inadvertently launched P01 during the flight, causing the on-flight navigational data to vanish. Hamilton and her team were called in to solve the error, and after that her proposed changes were integrated into the program. This was an early example of "defensive" programming, the
