Yay! More Auroras!

Fuck, I love the sun. I hope it kills us all.

The name/s Adolf/Adolphe are still in use in German and French former colonies in Africa, and WW2 wasn’t that big of a deal in a lot of the continent. A lot of them had other shit going on, still do.

The internet and easy-to-access translators are more common now, leading to a further decline in the name, but in Namibia in the 1960’s? Totally understandable someone would hear/see the name Adolf Hitler without context, assume a strong German name would help their kid get by in German-Occupied Namibia, and leave it at that. Looks like it worked.

Pete “I take my foot massages with tongue” Hegseth: “We got rid of all those nasty girls, boys. Come back. Come back, see how friendly we are to friendly little boys. We’re all friendly little boys, just like you.”

Looks like the majority of Jewish organizations consulted on this supported the Nakba exhibit, it was just the squeaky wheel who got the attention.

It’s a bold claim that a museum thought up by a famously Jewish head of a media empire to feature stuff about Jewish people and funded in part by the efforts of his Jewish sister is somehow not about Jewish people.

This is funnier if you know about the museum guides who had to censor their tours for groups who only wanted a tasting menu of human rights. To only learn about the people they think deserve rights and skip the rest, like those damned women and gays.

Reads like he was arrested for being an asshat and they might have found drugs.

Those drugs?

a police search found “half of an orange oval-shaped pill with 3 imprinted on it, consistent with a Schedule II amphetamine”, and three “suspected cannabis cigarettes.”

So… half a dexadrine and three joints, the bare minimum for a night out in Canada.

In the greek tradition we will bring back the kynodesme.

Sometimes it’s trans men, too. https://thetyee.ca/News/2025/11/10/Changed-Rules-Shut-Trans-Bodybuilder-Out-Competition/

You don’t know it because that’s not what you said.

According to the latest research on PubMed and Statistics provided by UNESCO, women do not outnumber men in any stem position except life sciences, which includes healthcare nurses. No one disagrees that the gender gap is closing, but to say women hold more positions than men because of demographic goals is wrong as hell.

Curie was recognized in her lifetime, she won a ton of awards, including two nobel prizes. The enormity of her contribution to physics and chemistry compared to her co-winners has been slowly revealed over time, but she was considered a brilliant scientist during her life.

A better example could be Lise Meitner who, while in exodus from Nazi Germany, essentially figured out what fission was just by learning about the results of early nuclear physics experiments. But when people list the big names in nuclear physics, she’s not one of them.

According to a number of sources on STEM statistics worldwide in 2025, women still occupy less than half of all STEM positions. A higher percentage of female nurses is why there’s a majority in “life sciences.” Women hold fewer higher level/higher paid positions than men in all STEM fields as well, and minorities are still demographically under-represented across the board.

The Dark Lady of DNA is a pretty good biography of Rosalind Franklin. Watson was a piece of shit.

Whenever someone asks why women haven’t made any great contributions to science, he’s part of the reason we don’t hear about them.

Imma 'bout to go toss an irradiated, used tampon on his grave.
