Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistโ€”because the person felt she did didnโ€™t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

My husband is a Vietnam veteran and he feels exactly the same. We have a sign at the end of our driveway that reads โ€œI am a veteran. My oath never expires. โ€œ I believe as Americans we should all be living this oath.

You're Right to Hate Him. Good People Do. Will Rogers was famously quoted as once saying, โ€œI never met a man I didnโ€™t like.โ€

I hate him.
I can and should hate this malevolence.
All decent, loving, compassionate people should.
Good people should unapologetically hate atrocities against humanity.
Christians should be fighting it instead of cultivating it.

If the Clintons testified then theoretically they could throw everyone under the bus and weโ€™d be done with this awfulness. Maybe they should think about taking one for the entire country.

Excerpt: When the Ethics of Animal Research Hit Home The owner of a rescued lab dog considers if insights gleaned through animal research are enough to justify the practice.

Hammy spent four years in a lab. Years later, Melanie Kaplan asks: If animal suffering leads to human benefit, where's the ethical line? Her new book, "Lab Dog" explores this dilemma through his eyes.

If only Pete Hegseth's military shaving crusade was just stupid Hegseth knows damn well who he's pushing out: Black troops.

Pete Hegseth announced that members of the US military who need a shaving exemption for more than a year will be forced out of the service, tossing out a decades-old policy created mainly for Black and brown troops with pseudofolliculitis barbae.
