Einstein the “lone genius” is a complete myth
Even the most brilliant mind in history couldn't have achieved all he did without significant help from the minds of others.Ethan Siegel (Big Think)
After a recommendation from one of my followers on TikTok, I went to Kilmichael Point, Co Wexford yesterday & peeked in this old World War II lookout post. I was even treated to a glimpse of the SUN! 😱

#OnThisDay, 12 Feb 1983, around 200 to 300 women protested the Law of Evidence in Lahore. The law effectively made women’s testimonies worth half that of men’s.
The police used tear-gas and batons before arresting 50 of the protestors. The day is now Pakistan's Women's Day.

![A tweet on a black background with white text, posted by Dave Troy ([@]davetroy) with a sunflower emoji next to his name and a circular profile picture. The tweet reads: “The biggest mistake the West made the last 10 years was treating 'disinformation' as something different from 'war.' We have been in an information war, which repeatedly also has become kinetic, the entire time. And we have all been combatants. This is one reason... the last several years have been so exhausting. From Syria, MH-17 to Ferguson, Freddie Gray, Trump and Jan6th — all of that was part of one seamless theater of information and kinetic warfare. And we were trying to fix it with Snopes and browser extensions. If one good thing comes out of this it will be to teach everyone what information warfare really looks like and how low-intensity conflict works. And when we are experiencing it, to know to address it before it turns fully kinetic. Because it always will.”](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/5434888 "A tweet on a black background with white text, posted by Dave Troy ([@]davetroy) with a sunflower emoji next to his name and a circular profile picture.

First it's the trans folks, then it's all the other queers. And if anyone around here didn't see it coming, hie you to a library and learn something about history before they try to burn all of those down.

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone here know anything about the female British typists who went to Germany in 1945 to type up the peace treaty? My grandmother was one of them!

Learned today Ancient Greeks thought vision works by beams projecting out of your eyeballs analogous to radar or echolocation. It's called emission theory. Wild.
I've heard before that children might implicitly assume that vision works like this. I don't remember ever thinking that way as a kid. Did you?
You do not see his name in Israeli history books they teach their children.
But I watched a documentary about the team who murdered him on an Israeli TV back in the 90s. They were proudly describing their heroic act to pave the road for the creation of the state of Israel.

More prescient today in America than “I Have a Dream.”
“I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because truth crushed to earth will rise again.
How long? Not long, because no lie can live forever.
How long? Not long, because you shall reap what you sow.
How long? Not long: Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne,
Yet that scaffold sways the future.”

"#ICE does not move like the gestapo, they move like slave patrols."
This is home grown terrorism..

I can't unsee this now. I can't unsee slaver behavior in #ICE tactics. It makes way more sense, the Gestapo were copying *them*.
