GPS pioneer and mathematician Gladys West has died. She was 95.
Her calculations helped produce extremely accurate modeling of the Earth's shape, laying the foundation for modern global positioning system technology.
West was born in rural Virginia during segregation. In 1956, she was hired as a computer programmer at a Navy base in Virginia, where she was one of only four Black employees.
Her work went largely unrecognized for years, though she was later acknowledged as one of the hidden figures of the era.
Despite being considered the mother of GPS, West said she still preferred using a paper map when driving.
⚠️ Trump thinks his rule is absolute, but in America, we don’t do “kings.” ⚠️
Since the inauguration, the Trump administration and its enablers have operated as though they have a mandate—but they don’t, and never did. They are going to extremes to empower the Trump administration and enrich themselves, while cutting jobs and services for the rest of us.
So... he can't lower prices.
He can't end the Ukraine war in 24 hours.
He WON'T release Epstein files...
But he can do petty trolling like hiding Obama's and Bush's portraits, like a jealous 12-year-old?
That's what you voted for, MAGA?
Worst. President. Ever. 🤡
Crime in Washington D.C. is down 7%
Violent crimes in D.C. are down 25%
Trump will deploy 1,000 National Guard troops into D.C. against U.S. citizens, not because of crime, but because he's an authoritarian and this is what authoritarians do.
BREAKING: The “No Kings” protests just became the largest single-day political protest in American history.
5 million people. 50 states. One message:
We don’t do tyrants here.
Trump wanted a throne.
America gave him a movement.
📊 Bigger than the Women’s March. Bigger than Vietnam. This is historic.
Video shows massive crowd in Downtown Los Angeles protesting against Trump.
The ‘No Kings’ protests mark the largest nationwide anti-Trump demonstration since his return to office.
Happiness is a thing called… JAZZ!
Stumbled upon this album recently and I'm absolutely loving it, not to mention the fantastic album cover!
