A joyous day. 378 years ago, Isaac Newton was born. He laid the firmest foundations for the laws of mechanics, which today were used to launch a new space telescope. That telescope was made possible, in part, thanks to his foundations for optics. This new instrument will help us understand the first stars in the universe.

I was today years old when I learned that the old "rule" from school about "never splitting the infinitive" is not correct and is generally considered to have no rational basis in language. In fact, splitting can make the meaning clearer. First the atom, now the infinitive!

@clacke Yeah I get that, here it's a file on my desktop that gets filtered by a script, there's stuff from nearly 10 years ago in there so I quite trust it.
Meanwhile I don't trust a phone for even keeping contacts.

@clacke Medical science here is paid for with tax dollars and then the treatments and care are sold back to the taxpayer at high prices through a private system. AND states have sold the information to various entities—Texas sold theirs to the Pentagon, for some reason. So, it's a hellscape herre.

@eliasr det var en händelse som fördes på Twitter när KD tog upp ämnet
om SD:s rasistiska & nazistiska "förflutna".
Åkesson blev rasande & påminde Busch att "självgoda finborgare" i KD styr landet under hans nåder. Buschs uttryckte att: "De [SD] har den bakgrund de har. Kom över det nu. Vi har uppenbarligen kunnat göra det. Hon erkände att hon & KD inte har några problem att ge inflytande åt SD & deras uppenbart levande rötter.
