The research of Dr. Gladys West, who died Jan. 17 at 95, laid the groundwork for the GPS.

Thanks in part to her, anyone with a smartphone can navigate easily from one place to the next, without having to stop to ask for directions.
Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS.
Without the mathematical model that she helped refine, “the extraordinary positioning, navigation, and timing accuracy of GPS would be impossible to achieve.”

One thing climate change teaches you is this:

Nature doesn’t negotiate.

You can argue online.
Delay decisions.
Pretend it’s politics.

But physics just keeps going.

Trying out photography for the first time means accepting that your pictures are terrible. Silver lining - it can only go up from here.

"But I'm still trying to make my mind up
Am I free or am I tied up?
I change shapes just to hide in this place
But I'm still, I'm still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip, yeah I slip
I'm still an animal"

FIRST THEY CAME
By Martin Niemöller

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.

I might just wear Lewis Hamiltons old Mercedes merchandise to Formula1 instead of buying new Ferrari merch. Sue me.
