Who invented non-reflective glass?
American physicist & chemist Katharine Burr Blodgett in 1938.
It revolutionized optics--& led to the coatings used today in everything from eyeglasses to phone screens. She was the first woman to earn a PhD in #physics from Cambridge, 1926. #WomenInSTEM #inventor

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to live with someone who is going cold turkey off 50mg vyvanse because she forgot to get the prescription filled and has only just told you this is why she’s been insane this week… wonder no longer. It is HELL.

Quite aside from the appalling behaviour of this band, it absolutely astonishes me that people can stand for 5 hours for anything. Makes me realise how this disability has been affecting me for so long. Nowadays I have 5 - 10 minutes standing tops before the pain gets too much.

Just say a “should have gone to specsavers” ad and thought Oh yeah I need to do that and made an appointment. I am, indeed, easily targeted by advertising.

I agree with this but also I didn’t know this actor’s name (recognised his face) before Tarantino did this so starting a rumour that Matthew Lillard set this whole thing up as a PR stunt 🤣
I am embarrassed to have an opinion about what a director I’ve only seen I think 3 movies by said on a podcast but every time I’ve ever seen Matthew Lillard in a movie I’ve enjoyed it; giving props to work you like rules over being catty and rude, & people who think catty and rude is good are bores

Thread 🧵
The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

So it seems that the USA is nominating this woman as a baddie?
This is my friend, Rahaf, from Gaza.
She is 3.
She is a double amputee from an airstrike.
She has my whole heart. ❤️

Apparently he was talking about superannuation?
Trump on policy proposals he's looking at to raise the birthrate: "There's a certain Australian plan that people are liking and they're talking about. You know what I mean? There's a plan where, not for children necessarily, but it's for people. Working people. And we are looking at other things."

I really wish someone could invent something that really does take my thoughts and ideas and turn it into a fully built out proposal and accompanying assets. AI is helpful but if anyone thinks it’s giving them something 100% done, they have different standards to me.

I can’t reply to the baker but I wanted to and say: I have that book! The rolls like very like ciabatta (which is basically what they are) and my local Italian bakery has a line out the door every day for identical rolls. The shape is part of it!
Also, yummm.

Ok, they’re ugly because I can’t shape rolls to save my life, but they turned out yummy. Made them into Bobbies with leftovers.
