During Pride Month, remember Alan Turing.
He helped crack Nazi Germany’s Enigma code, shortening WWII and saving countless lives.
He laid the foundations of modern computing, inspired artificial intelligence, and helped create the digital world we live in today.
The thanks he got from Britain? Prosecution for being gay, chemical castration, and a death that remains one of history’s great injustices.
Every computer, smartphone, and AI model owes something to Turing. The world runs on ideas he helped create.
A hero who defeated Hitler’s machines, then became a victim of his own government.
Never forget Alan Turing.
Pride Month is a reminder that history is bigger than any single event.
It includes Alan Turing helping lay the foundation for modern computing and AI.
It includes those who stood up at Stonewall.
It includes service members who risked their careers under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
It includes scientists, teachers, artists, first responders, parents, veterans, and countless others whose contributions often went unrecognized or forgotten.
Different stories. Different struggles. Different achievements. Different times.
All part of the same history.
Be proud of our collective history, not a single overshadowing event.
This is Alan Turing’s Princeton PhD record from 1938.
Not long after, he helped defeat Hitler’s war machine.
Today, every computer, smartphone, and AI system traces part of its lineage to ideas he pioneered.
History didn’t begin at Stonewall.
Never forget Alan Turing.
This is even more majestic than the painting from Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel.
The performance art before you is an ecological reflection on the climate emergency, reminding us of the fleeting beauty of snow.
@Mappy6984 Post like this is exactly why people stop trying or never try. There’s always some huckster out there like you, ready to pounce on someone making profess and doing what they need to do.
