My absolute favorite thing about ElectionData .MY by @Thevesh is the Query Builder.
This has to be the most well thought out, dev friendly website for data I have ever seen.
I don't think people, esp the dev/data community are hyping this up enough: https://t.co/SwRZtUu5z5
I have fallen into a rabbit hole, listening to the great physicist John Wheeler reminisce about his former student Richard Feynman, their meeting with Albert Einstein, etc. Here he discusses hiding entropy in a black hole w Jacob Bekenstein https://t.co/BNos5Fmtx9 via @YouTube

Worst crime in the human history 💔
Israeli soldiers torture a one-year-old child in Gaza, including burning his leg with a cigarette and inserting a nail into his leg, according to a TRT report, to pressure his father to make confessions.
These are the pants of the child, Jawad Abu Nasser, who was totured in Gaza by Israeli soldiers, a small piece of fabric that stands as powerful evidence of the crime.
They bear traces of his blood, reflecting the abuse he endured. A visible hole can also be seen, indicating the insertion of a sharp object, resembling a metal rod, into his foot, with a clear exit point through both the foot and the fabric.
The evidence does not end there; there are also marks that appear to be burns, likely caused by cigarettes being extinguished on them.
Happy Pi Day! In a certain sense, π is not a constant, but a variable. Using our usual Euclidean distance, it is 3.14159… but applying other L^p norms on ℝ², half the unit circle's perimeter will give other values. For instance, at p=1 (taxicab geometry), “π” = 2√2. At p ≈ 2.2, it's 3.20.
Anyway, the video I was hoping to have out this day will be out closer to the 20th. Some call it “missing your deadline”, but I prefer to think of it as giving the L_{2.2} norm a little love.
