Ada Lovelace, known as the first computer programmer, was born on Dec. 10, 1815, more than a century before digital electronic computers were developed. Lovelace has been hailed as a model for girls in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). A dozen biographies for young audiences were published for the 200th anniversary of her birth in 2015. And in 2018, The New York Times added hers as one of the first “missing obituaries” of women at the rise of the #MeToo movement. But Lovelace – properly Ada King, Countess of Lovelace after her marriage – drew on many different fields…

Press freedom and rights organizations on Thursday expressed “grave concern” about the Biden administration’s “relentless pursuit” of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, an Australian who is jailed in London while he fights against extradition to the United States.”It is more than a year since our coalition sent a joint letter calling for the charges against Assange to be dropped,” 21 groups wrote to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. “Today, we repeat those concerns, and urge you to heed our request.

North Carolina Republican lawmakers unhappy with that decision are now pushing the “independent state legislature” theory (ISLT), an argument that the U.S. Constitution…
The recent controversy surrounding Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond’s claims of being Indigenous has once again shone a spotlight on the issue of “pretendians” — people who have obtained privileged positions through false claims of indigeneity. It also points to the way Indigenous women’s identities have been determined by men throughout most of Canada’s history.
