Dr. Oz is Muslim and literally works for Trump. Congratulations, Nancy, you just called Trump’s own CMS Administrator a Trojan horse. Absolute clown show, fucking dummy.

Happy Birthday to John Mather, Ph.D. 1974. He was awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on the Cosmic Background Explorer Satellite, providing support for the Big Bang theory and called by the Nobel committee, "the starting point for cosmology as a precision science."

Happy Birthday to Andy Messersmith, Class of 1967. He played for @CalBaseball and pitched 12 years in the majors. The 1975 grievance Messersmith filed against the Dodgers resulted in the abolition of the reserve clause, which had permanently bound players to teams.

[Cal Bears History @CalBearsHistory]

Prior to Andy Messersmith's arbitration, players had to spend their entire careers with the team that drafted them unless they were traded, and had to either accept the salary offered or sit out without pay. An excellent article on the Messersmith case: https://t.co/QtrDCeJwiR

Helen Jacobs, Class of 1930, was born August 6, 1908. She won 9 Grand Slam titles including US Open singles in 1932, 1933, 1934 & 1935 and Wimbledon in 1936. During World War II, Jacobs became a Lt. Commander in the Navy, the highest ranking woman in US Naval Intelligence.

Helen Jacobs was one of the first openly gay athletes from Cal - open about her sexual orientation to friends, other players and reporters, who did not, however, write about it, since in the 1930s, as that would have ended her career. https://t.co/xHwz5mxQWa

The entire problem for Silicon Valley is that about 99.7% of the populace could give up AI tools tomorrow without noticing, much less caring

Maggie Gee, Class of 1948, was born August 5, 1923. She left Cal in 1942 to join the Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) in World War II, one of only two Chinese-American women pilots. Since women were not allowed in combat, she trained male pilots and ferried planes.

[Cal Bears History @CalBearsHistory]

Maggie Gee returned to Cal after the war to complete her degree in physics, then worked as a researcher at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and was active in Berkeley politics. In 2010 she received the Congressional Gold Medal for her service. https://t.co/FqkO8kEXiK
