Many know Ada Lovelace, but too few know about women like Mary Allen Wilkes, who wrote most of the software for the first "personal" computerβ€”the LINC.

Here are stories of modern and historical women in tech and digital rights that inspire us. How many did you already know? #InternationalWomensDay

Called it, one of these things hasn't happened just yet, can you guess which one?

The upset comes from the implication of having to take responsibility for your actions.

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.

It’s in short supply. The outrage wells are on fire, the wrath caves alight, and the ire mines are unworkable. God knows when the angry factory will be back in operation.

A glass of red wine in the foreground and a black cat curled up and dozing on a poof in the background. And yes, I already know that only one of those things is a healthy way to deal with stress so zip it

As someone who has spent the last 16 months trying (and mostly failing) to manage the soul draining and exhausting chaos, upset, anger, and heartache caused by someone suffering from paranoia and psychosis, can I just loudly say *FUCK CHATGPT* which has encouraged all of it all the way along

Paranoia and psychosis. They’re the hardest I’ve ever had to deal with too. It is utterly draining, mind, body and soul. Mind yourself as well as minding your loved one.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

I’ve reported on some alt technologies to reduce whale strikesβ€”such as AI systems to alert ship captains in real timeβ€”and one founder created it because reducing ship speeds wasn’t enough to save right whales. β€œWe cannot afford to ever miss an animal,” he told me. www.biographic.com/ping-youve-g...

For #IWD2026 I can't help but think of the wise words of @monaeltahawy.bsky.social :

'Make your heart too rebellious for the patriarchy’s attempts to plant itself within you.

Make your mind too free for fascism to chain your imagination.'

Great canvass with Dan Ennis and the @social-democrats.bsky.social crew today, out around my home turf in Fairview. The sun was out and everyone was smiling. Another great day out and about, so much support on the doors! #SocDems #ByElection #SpeirGorm

PM Starmer is a serious man, but UK domestic politics is so superficial when it comes to the issues the UK is struggling with that it's basically as thin as a pipette of oil spread over a beaker of water.

Γ€ couple of things the UK could do to build a trust framework include far more diplomacy with MSs including smaller MSs.

When you see the amount of diplomacy that goes into an accession application, that should give you an idea of what's necessary.
