Johannes Kepler, not Newton or Einstein, is science’s best role model People often look to Einstein or Newton as a scientist's best role model. But Kepler did something more important: he changed his mind when the evidence demanded it. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #space #astro #kepler #science

Johannes Kepler, not Newton or Einstein, is science's best role model

When people pick the greatest scientist of all-time, Newton and Einstein always come up. Perhaps they should name Johannes Kepler, instead.

Every single day Github gets quietly worse and when trying to explain this to non programmers I said it'd be like if a corporation acquired the earth's atmosphere and constantly fucked it up in new and irreversible ways due to greed and ignorance, but I guess that did actually also happen.

Pundits say Dems are underperforming in the midterms because Trump approval is -20 yet Dems are "only" +5-8 on the GB. But that misunderstands the disapprove-but-not-Dem group. It’s mostly closeted GOP partisans, not moderates waiting for Ds to pivot right www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-05-01...

Pundits are wrong about the Democrats’ "missing" voters

In individual-level polling data, two-thirds of Trump disapprovers who aren’t backing Democrats on the generic ballot look like closeted Republicans, not swing voters waiting for a pivot on crime
