Huh. It’s almost as if millionaires want to live in the cool places where all the cool stuff is
ips-dc.org Institute for Policy Studies @ips-dc.org · 6d
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Awful story regardless but of course there are contradictory descriptions of whether they hit the box truck or if the box truck hit them.
Cal State Fullerton athlete dies after she, teammate collided with box truck while on e-scooters FULLERT 5 32 Cal State Fullerton sophomore Lauren Turner, wearing No. 5, has died after suffering serious injuries in a scooter accident in September. (Cal State Fullerton Athletics) • Cal State Fullerton soccer player Lauren Turner has died after nearly six weeks in ICU following a collision with a box truck while riding an e-scooter. • Turner and her teammate were not wearing helmets when they were hit on a road near campus in late September. Her teammate is recovering. • Teammates remembered the sophomore for her positivity, humor, compassion and leadership on and off the field, calling her impact on the program "immeasurable." Lauren Turner, a second-year player on the Cal State Fullerton women's soccer team, has died nearly six weeks after she and a teammate were hit by a box truck while riding electric scooters on a road near campus. She was 19.

this is a rich text but my favorite part is that despite being presumably good at math, her husband is so illiterate that he cannot read a baby's report card

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

It's International Women in Science Day ♀️, and I want to talk briefly about Rosalind Franklin.

A conventional choice for unconventional reasons: Dr. Franklin was one of the FIRST STRUCTURAL VIROLOGISTS. Let's talk about her work outside of the Crick & Watson debacle.
Rosalind Elsie Franklin was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose work was central to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), viruses, coal, and graphite. Description: Dr. Franklin looks across a checkered table at everyday objects. I think this is in a cafe or a breakroom. Since we know this is Paris, this photo is likely from 1946? With all she did to make Watson and Crick's discovery possible, Rosalind Franklin was essentially "a de facto collaborator," says Lynne Osman Elkin. Novartis Foundation Dr. Franklin looks to her right, wearing a dark necklace and broad-yoked shirt or blouse. She has short dark hair and eyebrows, and has a look of sharp intelligence, with an edge of weariness.

My daughter did a report on Rosalind Franklin, whose work—including the first x-ray photograph of the double-helix—was key to understanding the structure of DNA. Wilkins forced her out of Kings College and used her work without credit, shared it with Watson, and the pair won the Nobel Prize.

edit of you wouldn't download a car old meme says you wouldn't end a game. The font is in a rough graffiti stencil style that looks like it's missing paint in parts. the text is inconsistently raised and lowered in the background is a mix of horizontal streaks of maroon and light blue on black like VHS artifacts.
