Entrepreneur. AI engineer. Environmentalist.

America: He's walking the military over to the Russian (and North Korean) side. He's supporting, funding and giving weapons to genocide. He's deployed armed militia on your streets. He controls the Senate, Congress, Supreme Court and DOJ, and actively uses and abuses that control. You have a month.

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton coined the term “software engineer.” She directed the Software Engineering Division at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab & led development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Guidance Computer. She was born #OTD in 1936 & turns 90 today! #WomenInSTEM

Two side-by-side black-and-white photographs of pioneering computer scientist Margaret Hamilton (born August 17, 1936). The left panel features a mature, close-up portrait where Hamilton gazes directly at the viewer with a serene, confident, and reflective expression, framed by her long, dark, slightly silvering hair. The right panel is a famous archival photograph showing a younger Hamilton standing indoors next to a towering stack of bound paper binders containing the Apollo Guidance Computer source code, which she led the development of at MIT. She is smiling broadly and wears a striped, long-sleeved mini dress with dark Mary Jane shoes and glasses, resting her hand proudly on top of the massive column of printed code. The overall composition contrasts her youthful triumph with her enduring legacy, capturing an optimistic, intellectually rigorous mood that highlights her monumental contributions to space exploration.

AI backlash is beginning to look terribly like "those in power" wanting to distract from the mess that they've caused. Just like "blame the migrant", "blame the Jews", "blame the non-Whites", "blame the Irish" we now have "blame the AI". And the AI haters will still vote in bad politicians.

I wonder if Todd Blanche being confirmed AG in the USA will be that tipping point when Americans realise that they are in an authoritarian state that's almost unstoppably marching into absolute dictatorship? Once this has been achieved, what's left to defend US democracy? Congress yapping alone?

NEW: Big new feature from me about offshore wind farms as anchors for wildlife! For example: seals swimming *into* turbine towers to, apparently, hunt fish - and scour protection at the base of turbines used by sea creatures as a dwelling place. atmos.earth/science-and-...

Offshore wind farms can pose risks to birds and marine life. But their foundations also serve as artificial reefs, offering essential habit.

271 snails. 18 heats. A 13.5-inch racetrack. And a world champion called Snailor Swift, crowned with a lettuce. 🐌🥬 Welcome to the wonderfully eccentric world of competitive snail racing – where “Ready, steady, SLOW!” really is the starting order. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @oscarwoofs.bsky.social

Ready – steady – slow. World Championship snail race

World Championship Snail Racing is a serious sport. It might be bonkers but it's great fun

It's a crazy world right now. Belief is truth. Ignorance is knowledge. Peace is terrorism. Victims are perpetrators. Perpetrators are victims. But yet... the tax man won't accept "trust me bro" on my tax return. Making tax officials some of the most sane government employees right now.

Do you know what China's been doing while we've been dropping bombs and allocating more money for new weapons? Beating us on alternative energy, manufacturing, high speed rail, technology, microchips, and infrastructure.
