She originated the term "bug" to describe computer glitches & became a celebrated Rear Admiral in the US Navy. https://news.yale.edu/2017/02/10/grace-murray-hopper-1906-1992-legacy-innovation-and-service #science #history

@mehdihasan screams “Damn Biden and all he is” while failing to explain why Netanyahu would accept any ceasefire that ends with Netanyahu in prison. Mehdi is as confused as trump if he believes Bibi gives a damn about what Biden says. trump has a pair of $18 temu shoes he’ll sell to you, Mehdi, for the low, LOW price of just $399.
Anybody seen @mehdihasan today? Waiting for an explanation on how Biden could craft a ceasefire that would result in Netanyahu being stripped of power AND stand trial for what he’s done. If Biden can do all that, then yeah, go Joe! See to it that Bibi is also prosecuted for genocide and setting up the conditions that allowed Hamas free rein of Israel for 8 hours while the military sat on its hands and allowed the senseless murder of Israelis. Let’s include sending Netty to The Hague!
@mehdihasan … We’re waiting. A question was asked about what kind of ceasefire would be made available to Netanyahu so that he is stripped of power and finally stands trial?
Waiting for @mehdihasan to explain why a man who knows he faces a recall & prison wld accept terms of a ceasefire that wld allow all the aforementioned to move forward. How wld Biden convince Bibi to take such a deal? Explain why demands of a ceasefire from Biden would even move the needle a scintilla in that direction. We’re all waiting. Otherwise, make the decision to start posting the reality of the situation rather than illogical, pie in the sky nonsense. And apologize.
@mehdihasan, last time we looked, Biden is not the leader of Israel. Last time we checked, Netanyahu is still a man in search of a way to avoid a prison sentence that will have him serving time until he dies. No, Biden cannot bring about the ceasefire we all desperately want for Palestinians. You mistakenly believe he makes it more likely. It does not. Bibi is content to play this out until the election simply on the hope that trump will win and he can escape prosecution.
