As well as being a racist alcoholic, Winston Churchill was also a keen eugenicist who authored a bill to sterilise people deemed unsuitable.
“The improvement of the British breed is my aim in life.”
'Churchill was in favor of the confinement, segregation, and sterilization of a class of persons contemporarily described as the “feeble minded.”'

Leo has managed to avoid public scrutiny of his role in compromising the judicial branch of the #UnitedStates Federal #government.
From an #infosec perspective, the interlocking relationship between executive, legislative and judicial branches is brilliant 18th century #informationsecurity . Today, it's clear how the executive and legislative branches are fucked. This episode summarizes the 45 year #history of fucking up the judicial branch.
If you are not from the USA, or younger than 50, you are likely to find a lot of info here that clarifies the relationship between seemingly unrelated people and events.
A short #introduction I am a physicist by training, doing data science and ai/ml stuff in my own company (small, stays small, no thank you, not selling) and am a #history enthusiast and interested in #philosophy - mostly #ethics e.g. Kant
I am more the reading type, but perhaps at some point I will write some more, since mastodon seems very nice compared to this other site. I am looking forward to reading from you!

These are well collected pieces on what most of us are feeling right now.
There is no undo button and democracy as we know it is dead. We need to learn how to live in a fascist regime while trying to resist as long as we can as this will be a multi-generational effort to repair the damage done over the past 45+ years.
I may not live to see that repair though as I have at least 15-20 years left, and that's a sad thought. :(

I am beyond pleased to share that I am featured in the latest issue of the world renowned Smithsonian Magazine (July/August 2025).
To see my drystone work, and my voice, recognised, and to take up space in a field where women are still few and far between, means more than I can say.
I was so proud to show my daughters this.

DAVID DOUGLAS MADE HIS WAY DOWN the Whirlpool and the Athabasca Rivers from Athabasca Pass (where he crossed the Rocky Mountains) to #Jasper's House with the outgoing York Factory Express of 1827. He began his journey describing the Committee's Punch Bowl Lake, that is the lake in the middle of the pass itself. #YorkFactoryExpress #AmWriting #History https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/david-douglas-athabasca-river/
