If y’all wanna know the true power of hate, just remember that Alan Turing, the breaker of the enigma code in WWII, was driven to suicide by being forced to undergo chemical castration as a punishment for his homosexuality.
Historians say he saved 14 to 21 million lives.
I’d also like to say in the time we studied WWII in school, the history textbooks never mentioned him. I had never heard of the guy until I watched “The Imitation Game” which I 110% recommend you watch if you haven’t.Alan Turing was a blessing to humanity who saved (once again) 14 to 21 million lives, and he is left out of history because he was gay.
And this is just one example?? So many brilliant and heroic people are left out of history because of their race, their gender, their sexuality, their religion, andit’s just because some bigots in positions of influence get to decide what parts of history are remembered.
This man has had a profound effect on the world, it’s estimated he shortened the war by 2 years, saved countless lives and was the father of modern computing. Without him the world would be a very different, and very dark place.
He wasn’t just chemically castrated. The injections they have him were intended to decrease his libido as part his sentence for “gross indecency”. About 2 years after his trial he was found dead in his apartment next to a half eaten apple that was filled with cyanide (which became the inspiration for the Apple logo).
Turing is one of the most amazing people in all of history. He developed our modern method of computing (see: the Turing Machine) and advanced computer science by immeasurable amounts. And he dies when he was 41. Just imagine if he lived in a world where he was accepted. Imagine the technology we would have today and how many more lives would have been saved. No person deserves what Turing got, especially not someone as brilliant as him.
TEACH. CHILDREN. ABOUT. ALAN. TURING! WHEN THEY LEARN ABOUT WWII, THEY DESERVE TO KNOW ABOUT THE MAN WHO ENDED IT!!!
Dog booties are actually really important for working sled dogs in winter to protect their paw pads from iceburn and keep ice from getting in between their toes and burning them that way.
2. The traditional Inuit diet is one of the healthiest in the world, and the most balanced for the ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 consumption
Most modern diets consume way too much Omega 6 and not enough Omega 3.
3. Inuit is a plural noun. When speaking about a single person the correct word is Inuk (always capitalized)
For example, “This Inuk woman is wearing traditional Inuit tattoos”.
MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — The brother of rapper Nicki Minaj was sentenced
Monday to 25 years to life in prison for sexually assaulting an
11-year-old girl at his Long Island home.
A judge convicted
Jelani Maraj of predatory sexual assault and child endangerment in
November 2017. The victim testified during the trial that Maraj
repeatedly raped her in 2015 while her mother was at work.
Prosecutors have
said DNA evidence recovered from the girl’s pajama pants was linked to
Maraj. The girl’s younger brother also testified at the trial that he
witnessed one assault.
Maraj’s attorney appealed conviction in 2018, claiming that there was
jury misconduct. The judge ruled in October that the defense did not
meet the necessary burden of proof.
Maraj said in
court Monday that he had an alcohol problem and asked for a “second
chance.“ One of his attorneys said he suffered from health issues
including hypertension, gout and anemia and requested the minimum
sentence of 10 years to life.
Maraj’s appellate attorney, Stephen Scaring, said he plans to appeal the judge’s decision.
