Grace Hopper - What an extraordinary mind this woman had. Mathematician, computer scientist before we had computers to science.
Just wait until you see how she represents a nanosecond...
This interview is from when she was 80 years old and still sharper than pretty much anyone else EVER.
You guys are gonna wanna see this

Brenton Thwaites can play guitar and they never used that?
Why does he sound American in his everyday speech? I thought he was Australian?
He sounds Australian to me, at least in the bits where he's not playing or rehearsing the part.

We really need to start using serif fonts in posts like these
Because I wasn't sure you mean "Weird AL", or "Weird ai"
No judgment for the first of course he's brilliant, but a LOT of judgement for the second.
Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in:
1. Do not do age verification.
2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.
The tool presents users with a 3D model they can then manipulate to, the creator says, bypass Discord's age verification system.
Oh no I dropped my link, what a horrible thing! Sure hope this doesn't get reblogged until it reaches users from the UK and Brazil!
And remember to not make a second account just to test out what works best when verifying your identity
A reminder that we still dont support Age Verification bullshit.

Writing from year after gross indecency arrest challenges ‘isolated mathematician’ image, says Cambridge academic
How extraordinary! A short story by Alan Turing has been transcribed fully (Well, as much as exists) and showcases a very different side of Turing!
He writes of a meeting between Alec (a barely fictionalised version of Turing himself) and a young male sex worker.
And this was in 1952!!!
it would suck being a new immortal. like it’d be 2109 and people would go, “what was it like seeing ancient civilizations rise and fall like that? seeing the pyramids being built? watching the expansion and growth of the new world?” and i’d just be like, “no…no i was born in 1991. so like, wow i’m gonna see some cool stuff, but, i mean i’m not that much older than just a really, really old person, you know? phones were big back then. so big. but only for like ten years, then they got like, as good as they are now. uh. rhinos existed. don’t think i ever saw one in person. cool, good talk.”
even worse, imagine being an immortal who keeps missing stuff. “What was it like seeing the pyramids being built?” “Fuck if I know, I was in Madagascar.” “Oh, okay. Well, how was the Renaissance?” “I fell down a hole in Scotland and people thought I was an enchanted well for four hundred years, it was over by the time I convinced someone to get me out.”
And now, a lesson in biases:
We barely know anything about Madagascar pre-500CE. We don’t even know whether the island had a permanent population before then, despite finding a bunch of much older signs of temporary human presence.
Malagasy mythology makes mention of the vazimba, a “precursor” ethnic group that might or might not be distinct from Madagascar’s current population.
The point is, we do not know.
So you were in Madagascar when the pyramids were being built in Egypt, i.e. during one of the most obscure, most undocumented parts of Madagascar’s human history?
Oh, buddy, you better go and make a bunch of anthropologists and archeologists really happy RIGHT NOW instead of feeling bad about missing everyone else’s pet Major Event.
It’s been a decade since we left that comment and you have the best reply anyone’s left to it.
@ayellowbirds I hope I can provide another quality one:
This post inspired me to start working on a story with an immortal who also always keeps managing to miss shit (someone finds out how old he is, says “Jesus Christ,” and gets a distracted “hm? No, I was still in Wales”), but he knows what the Roman dodecahedrons were for and he’s refusing to tell anyone because back in the 1820s someone was extremely rude to him at the British Museum and he doesn’t feel he’s been sufficiently apologized to. His house is full of shit that’s of absolutely no interest to anyone except academics and history nerds, who’d consider it a treasure trove to rival the library at Alexandria. (Come to that, he may own some texts from said library. Homeslice got around.)
But he is extremely petty. So no, you may not see his certificate declaring him a member of the Tailors’ Guild, and yes he does know how to build a wooden automaton from the time he spent working as a clockmaker and he will not be showing you.
The best addition you named above is new to me, however. And now I want to see if I can’t finagle something with him having been in Middle of Nowhere, Continent of Africa*, having gone there to get away from the Islamic Conquest while muttering stuff like “go to Egypt, they said, it’s warmer, they said…they’ve still got maintained roads…what bloody good do the maintained roads do me when people want my head on a pike…”
*the bits not carved up by the Greeks, Romans, or Arabs, so basically turn the continent on its side so it looks like a kidney bean, draw a horizontal line across its middle, and everything below the line is fair game. Yeah, there was cool stuff there, but it wasn’t all super connected the way the Roman/Ottoman empires had done.
oi, tag me when you publish this because I will pay actual monies to read it
I need you to know it is a James Bond fanfiction.
(No, Bond is not the immortal. Bond is the one who says “Jesus Christ.”)
“it is” meaning it exists? or “that’s the kind of story I think this is”?
“It is” meaning I’m writing it and it is a James Bond fanfiction.
Link when you’re done please?
Sidenote, I am for some reason now reminded of the time me and @skjam briefly spitballed ideas for crossovers involving the Cat People from The Cat People and I proposed one be a Bond Girl, and now I need to find that post.
Found it!

This is a small detail in this story that does not leave me. Bruce often refuses food or to eat while working, however here, Dick brings donuts and Bruce is the first one to take one, and he immediately eats it. Later, he even eats a muffin.
Alfred comes in with the sandwiches he made and immediately comments on the food Bruce is eating, criticizing them for eating outside food instead of waiting for his "healthier" homemade snacks.
And this detail interests me because I'm pretty sure that Bruce only refuses to eat food Alfred brings him. He may comment that he shouldn't, but he still eats the food others give him.
Also interesting is that, just two issues ago, Jaybin said that Bruce refuses to eat chili dogs for his health, so Bruce clearly cares a lot about what he eats, and yet, he picks up a donut immediately when Dick brings them.
Tim's little licking his lips bit when he sees the box of donuts is cute. He's a growing boy wonder after all.
What none of them (apart from Alfred probably) realise are that these are Dick's own special recipe high protein, low fat, vitamin enriched donut and high-fibre muffins in a fancy box, because he WILL get nutrition into the Batcave even if he has to sneak it in thanks to a specially hired pastry chef.
…fine. The armor is pretty sick.

New Mutants #21
Warlock arrives on Earth and is having a tough time, as he doesn't speak anything like a human language. And he's landed at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, on a night when none of the X-Men are around, only the new students are there (having a party)
After multiple shenanigans, only one course of action remains!
Yes Sam, that's it... you go flying to pick up doesn't-even-know-he's-a-mutant-yet-never-mind-the-rest-of-you Doug Ramsey whilst wearing only a towel.
And meanwhile, back in the Danger Room, where Warlock is pretty much starving to death after his crash landing...
And, honestly, Doug's reaction to X-Men adjacent lunacy remains one of the reasons I love the snarky little shit like I do.
Also note that Sam seems to have stopped to put on some trousers and boots, but is still topless.
Interesting, given their future intimacy, that it's not Doug, but Rahne who first reaches out, but I think we can forgive the poor lad taking a moment or two to process the intense culture shock he's just been through.

Oooh, the Scarecrow is wearing a plague doctor mask, okay.
Still have no clue who the guy is between Roxy Rocket and him though.
I swear we're going to get to next week and it's going to turn out to be really obvious.
The only villain in a neckbrace I can think of offhand is Torgue, a minor villain from Dixon's Nightwing.
Dudley Soames was a corrupt cop in Bludhaven who had his head twisted 180 degrees by Blockbuster, but who survived thanks to his trachea being intact, and experimental surgery.
This being Dixon's Nightwing, that was somehow enough to make him a viable and repeating threat as he renamed himself Torque.
He also wore mirrored glasses which rear view mirrors so he could still make his body function normally when whist his head was permanently pointing backwards
The only thing against it here is that he appears to have a collar and tie under his chin, which Torque would not, since he still dressed in the usual way.
IIRC he eventually decided that palindromes would be his calling card, which somehow managed to be less interesting than it sounds.
