#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.
In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.
I am here, on the edge of #Canada, in part because I am increasingly convinced this is likely the last summer most of us will be alive.
For reasons, I expect the #USA will invade, soon. I expect PM Carney will surrender, possibly before the invasion.
Even more sadly, I will likely survive. Unless I choose to not.
In a way, this trip is my last chance to see some places already undergoing rapid change, a bucket list check-off. I love Canada.

#TikTok's final days?
Let's hope not.
In my view, that would be #Elmo or one if his #BigTech #Longtermist sect members getting control of this entertaining #Chinese transplant.
Next year, we will be able to quote one of #GiovanniBoccaccio's jesters:
“We have taken him out of the frying-pan, and dropped him straight in the fire”
(Decameron, Second Day, first story, trans. G. H. McWilliam).

Slavery and Jim Crow were both legal.
John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry was not.
In 1894 it was ruled that the Sherman Antitrust Act could be used to stop _unions_ from "interfering in commerce"
The promulgation of functional slavery until the 1980s in Louisiana was similarly legal
The deportation of miners from Idaho Springs in 1903 was of dubious legality but the people who orchestrated it got away with virtually no consequences
Legal and moral are very different
