On 7 June 1954, at the age of just 41, the world lost one of its greatest minds.

Alan Turing died today in 1954.

Alan Turing was a mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, and the father of modern computer science. His groundbreaking work at Bletchley Park cracking the Nazi Enigma code is credited with shortening World War II by several years and saving countless lives. He laid the theoretical foundations for artificial intelligence, proposed the Turing Test, and developed the fundamental concepts that power the digital world we live in today.

Yet despite his monumental contributions, Turing was persecuted by the British government for being gay. In 1952 he was convicted of “gross indecency,” chemically castrated, and stripped of his security clearance. He died by cyanide poisoning two years later.

In 2009, Prime Minister Gordon Brown issued a formal apology. In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II granted him a posthumous royal pardon.

On this anniversary, we remember not only Turing’s extraordinary intellect, but also the tragic cost of prejudice.

His legacy endures in every computer, every algorithm, and every advance in AI.

Thank you, Alan.

Your ideas changed the world.

Your story continues to inspire it.

Scott Pelley fires back at President Trump during @NYTimes podcast with @LuluGNavarro. Pelley: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country.” Citing his experience covering combat: “I’m not aware that the President of the United States has ever done any of those things for his country.” Pelley, getting emotional: “‘Stupid.’ I can take that. ‘Stiff,’ yeah, probably. ‘Don’t care about the country.’ I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in fox holes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the President of the United States has ever done any of those things for his country....You become a journalist because you love the country....There is no democracy without journalism. It can’t be done. And that is why I am a journalist.”

Martina when will you condemn Hezbollah for firing rockets at innocent civilians in Israel - 19,000 and counting over the past 3 years?
If Mexico fired 19,000 missiles at your home in Miami over the past 3 years what would you expect the US to do to keep you safe?
Israel conducted an airstrike this afternoon on Hezbollah targets in the Dahieh neighborhood which is a well-known Hezbollah stronghold.
The Israeli military says it hit Hezbollah infrastructure/command sites in response to recent Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks on northern Israel.
Please stop defending Jihad and demonizing the only democracy in the middle east.
Get on a plane and go to Israel and speak with any of the 700k Americans living there to learn the truth.

Love this picture. Synagogues in the US stayed open 24 hours to pray for the troops on D Day.

@PramilaJayapal And who was employing the workers for those unions?
The millionaires and billionaires.
And who pays the heaviest share of taxes today?
The top 1% pay 40% of all federal income taxes.

This morning, an Israeli Arab terrorist opened fire on innocent people inside a McDonalds.

He continued his bloodthirsty rampage in 3 different locations.

A 35-year-old man was killed, 8 people injured.

Why won’t this make it into the media?

[Lisa P. Singer @LisaPSinger32]

@EFischberger @HonestReporting @mishtal @CAMERA4Truth @ConceptualJames @emilykschrader @IraStoll @EylonALevy @EYakoby @HilzFuld @havivrettiggur But the NYT will never post stories like this to show the Jihad attacks they deal with every single day.

@CptAllenHistory And his Arafat's daughter is worth 8 billion dollars living in Paris.
And the leaders of Hamas stole 11 billion from their own people.

BREAKING: Dozens of Christians were massacred in Ethiopia over the course of the last week by Islamists.

Tens of thousands of Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa, and the world doesn’t seem to care.

@jstreetdotorg Supporting Israel means demanding an end to Jihad and Caliphate religious doctrines. Then and only then can there be peace.

[Lisa P. Singer @LisaPSinger32]

@jstreetdotorg Jews have heard that for 3900 years.
Meanwhile the largest company (Nvidia) in the world is investing in their new corporate office in Haifa, Israel.

This video is an invaluable piece of artistic footage extracted from the classic musical film "Stormy Weather" (1943), capturing the peak performance of jazz legend Cab Calloway alongside the unprecedented tap dance routine of the Nicholas Brothers.

In 1977, a Jewish woman from the South Bronx won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Most people have never heard her name.
Rosalyn Yalow grew up the daughter of Jewish immigrants who never finished high school. She became a nuclear physicist at a time when universities openly told women they weren't welcome in science. When she applied to graduate school, one institution offered her a position as a secretary instead.
She ignored them all.
Working in a tiny Veterans Administration hospital lab in New York, Yalow co-developed radioimmunoassay (RIA): a technique so precise it could detect a billionth of a gram of any substance in the human body. It transformed the diagnosis of diabetes, thyroid disease, hormonal disorders, and dozens of other conditions. It is still used in labs around the world today.
When she accepted the Nobel Prize, she said: "We still live in a world that does not fully use the talents of women." That was 1977. The fight she named is not over.

Qatar is everything antisemites want you to believe AIPAC is.

[Lisa P. Singer @LisaPSinger32]

@RepJerryNadler @RepDanGoldman Hezbollah has fired 19,000 rockets at civilian areas in northern Israel over the past 3 years. Instead of condemning those waging unprovoked war, and practicing Jihad, you choose to condemn the only Prime Minster of the only democracy in the middle east. Very wrong.
