Reminder that just because someone puts the word "breaking" or "reportedly" or "sources:" in front of some random nonsense, it does not make it true. Especially if they are on Twitter, that sewer of lies.

Most of us have used Global Positioning System (GPS) for navigation & we can thank Gladys West for creating the foundation for GPS.

She used her mathematical & programming expertise to invent an accurate model of the Earth.

She was inducted into the US Air Force Hall of Fame.

I PROMISE Bluesky that this is the last one but when I appealed my X temporary block of my account by asking specifically what word(s) or syntax was the problem, this was the response.

I promise not to ooze X into Bluesky. It is not who I want to be here. BUT, information is suppressed. Musk used his son as a human shield in the Oval office, as a South African told us how democracy works and changed his X name. I posted this. Immediately blocked out of my account for 12 hours.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca
In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

The Constitution. The judicial branch. Separation of powers. Checks and balances. A nation of laws. The President of this country is not a king.

#boycottNFL - NFL is one big manipulation.

1) who wins
2) how experienced on TV. Juiced up colors to look like highlighters. Lower crowd noise at huddle/hike. As play evolves, crowd noise elevates to a crescendo. 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀.

I don't like the manipulation. It's not a movie.

This crumb is 48 years old! This is what is looks like when one spends most of life screwing people over. He's got one foot in the grave.
Heads up: The co-author of Project 2025 just issued a directive to halt almost ALL activity out of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
 
Russ Vought instructed employees to "cease all supervision and examination activity" and pause all pending investigations.

#boycottNFL

1) NFL made Kansas City Chiefs (KANSAS CITY!?) the darlings. 🤢 The darlings always have to win.
2) they aren't even hiding it; it's in plain sight
3) Trump is attending. NFL, private-sector billionaires, kowtowed to his whims by replacing End Racism

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

.@bsky.app THANK YOU for fixing the image posting issues with Galaxy phones. I had one issue with a screen shot I think from CNN (Boooo!!!!) that was alphabet soup. I didn't document it well, unfortunately. For now, smooth ⛵.
