![A screenshot from Twitter showing a tweet from US Cyber Command:
In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth, we want to recognize the "Mother of WiFi" Hedy Lamarr
Not only known for her acting career, Lamarr patented an invention for "frequency hopping" to Allied Forces in WWII. This would later form the basis for today's WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth
[Photo attached to post of Hedy Lamarr as well as her patent for the frequency hopper]

Cool how if you want to install an ADA-mandated elevator inside a subway station you have to do years of community input and environmental reviews justifying it, but if you want to fill the same subway station with guys holding M16s doing constitutionally-dubious searches its just "i've got a hunch"

Having one leading American automaker become an almost full-time Nazi propagandist is embarrassing. Having two is just bad writing.

Exactly! All this “let the people decide” talk is remarkably backwards. The people decided in November 2020: Trump lost, and attempted an auto-coup in response. That is the sole reason why the insurrection clause came into play at all: January 6 was the anti-democratic part.

It's bewildering seeing Smart Takes like 'not enforcing the Constitution is good bc Trump should be beaten at the ballot box: vote!' when the whole reason we're having this conversation is because we *did* vote, Trump *was* beaten, & he didn't give a damn!

Some good legal news: The conservative 11th Cir. unanimously struck down Florida’s Stop WOKE Act as violative of the 1st Amendment.
The state cannot forbid private employers from having training programs on race and diversity, as the Act required.
Sorry, DeSantis. It’s a hard no.
