History

In all the movies and shows I have seen about the Salem witch trials, the accusers were always men, and women were burned alive. Nobody was burned alive. 25 people were killed, 6 of them men, and the accusers were all women and girls. We have been lied to. https://t.co/s2rkkVly8G

An Insight

I don’t remember Somali clan wars in American suburbs when I was growing up… There is no magic soil. A nation is simply it’s people.

I see wonderful things

Meet Miguel Rojas. He studied all 100 citizenship questions. He wanted no special treatment because he’s a professional baseball player. And when he passed, he said he was prouder of that perfect score than his World Series home run. What stood out to me most was his gratitude. He talked about America opening its doors to him 21 years ago and said he’s never taken that opportunity for granted. Preparation. Respect for the process. Gratitude for the country that gave you an opportunity. Wanting to contribute and be judged by your character, not your status.

Offbeat Humor

I suffer from a rare condition where I keep thinking people will change their minds when presented with facts.

Data Talks

Here is the population pyramid for all of Japan. Births are down 75% from the peak. Tokyo alone is still growing even though has the lowest fertility in Japan, because it pulls in young people from everywhere else. Pyramids thanks to wonderful Japanese demographer @yz7sha. 3/3 https://t.co/92u3ovyqHi

History

This ancient Greek figure from the 2,500 year-old Douris Cup looks uncannily like someone working on a laptop! 😲 💻 He’s actually writing with a stylus on a hinged wax writing tablet! The technology has changed, the posture has not! 😂 Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology

this is pretty amazing discovery AI agents just found two room temperature magnetic semiconductor candidates A team of Claude Opus 5.5 agents designed one entirely new material and rediscovered another made in 1999 that could enable next generation spintronic memory, potentially combining semiconductor behavior, spin sorting, near zero stray magnetic fields, and operation above room temperature. "In 3 days, 90+ Opus 5.5 agents helped us uncover two room-temperature magnetic semiconductor candidates in simulations: YBaMnFeO₅ and KV[Cr(CN)₆]." One candidate remained magnetically ordered up to 376 K (103°C) experimentally. AI is starting to search the materials universe for technologies humans may have overlooked for decades. AI will revolutionize materials science
