So according to computer scientists, the election results might have been hacked in 3 important swing states. xx
“The scientists, among them J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, told the Clinton campaign they believe there is a questionable trend of Clinton performing worse in counties that relied on electronic voting machines compared to paper ballots and optical scanners”

I love that she has not changed her hairdo for nearly fifty years.
Let’s just be clear. She didn’t just ‘help code it’ she wrote most, if not all of it.
This is a very important addition. She wrote most of it, by hand no less. Margaret Hamilton was the lead engineer on this project. She was head of the MIT division that developed the software.
Azerbaijani painter writes Quran on transparent silk pages
Azerbaijani painter and decorative artist Tünzale Memmedzade has transcribed the Quran onto transparent silk pages. Memmedzade, a 33-year-old artist, used 50 meters of transparent black silk, and 1,500 milliliters of gold and silver inks in the project, which has taken three years to complete. (read more)
i answered a more specific one about leonardo alone here, but here are some of my general favourite things about the important figures of the italian renaissance
on her deathbed, caterina sforza said to a monk: “se io potessi scrivere tutto, farei stupire il mondo" (if i could write everything, i would shock the world) which i think just makes her the second coolest person in the entirety of italian history
speaking of the coolest person in italian history, da vinci took so long to finish the last supper that when the prior complained, leonardo said that the reason it was taking so long was because he couldn’t find a face that was so filled with evil that would fit judas, but if the prior was so desperate to have it finished, leonardo said that he would use him as a model
lucrezia borgia was said to have a hollow ring that she used for poisoning drinks
michelangelo hated everyone. he mocked leonardo for his failed statue in milan and had a bitter grudge with raphael ever since raphael looked at one of his paintings before it was released
seriously if someone were to make a show about the renaissance artists, it wouldn’t be some high brow drama, it would be something along the lines of mean girls crossed with the office
leonardo: “omg michelangelo, i love your fresco. what inspired it?” michelangelo: “the bible” leonardo: “vintage, i love it!” leonardo [after michelangelo walks away]: “that is the ugliest fucking fresco i have ever seen”
da vinci himself was really well liked by everyone but he was such a fucking DORK he used to buy caged birds and just to release them and was a chronic procrastinator. he was also gay af and the love of my life
machiavelli’s ‘the prince’ is the biggest piece of mancrush literature since plato’s symposium
also they were like, all gay, all the renaissance artists except for raphael who was tragically heterosexual. michelangelo wrote really over the top romantic letters to some dude, and da vinci was arrested for sodomy
@ historical fiction that tries to make my guys into aggressive womanizers: fuck off
so if the artists were the sitcom of the renaissance, caterina sforza is the blockbuster politics heavy action film. she literally occupied the vatican on behalf of her husband by riding across the tiber river on horseback while seven months pregnant
she was honestly so fucking savage when the orsis family threatened to kill her children she ‘exposed her genitals’ and said
“do it, if you want to: hang them even in front of me…here I have what’s needed to make others!” and they were so fucking shocked they didn’t dare touch her children
i could make a whole post about her, she was so fucking cool i adore her she is incredible
cesare tried to kill lucrezia’s first husband and probably did kill her second. he also apparently came to her wedding dressed as a unicorn, the symbol of purity which is just about the most laughable thing he ever did in his life
botticelli claimed that the prospect of marriage gave him nightmares
this kinda swayed a lot from being just about the artists, but i hope it was what you were looking for!
