👾As an example, I checked out the vintage marketing collection. Inside were a 1955 brochure for a Bendix computer you could lease for under $1,000 a month, and a 1969 brochure for the high-performance Hitachi HITEC 10. It had 4K words of 16-bit memory and a clock just a bit more than 700 kHz, among others.👾

the more i learn about #Ireland, the more i hate #England, #GreatBritain and the #UnitedKingdom; especially the monarchy.
this documentary on 17th century Irish #slavery needs to be used as a blueprint for what Spain & Portugal did to Muslim and Jewish Iberians. the pogroms, kidnapping and enslavement literally happened until the break of the Spanish-American War.
yes, 1898.
so much #history about internal European colonialism is suppressed, it’s maddening.
Phạm Tuân (who is the first Vietnamese citizen and the first non-Russian Asian in space) is the first Vietnamese to shoot down a B-52 flying a Soviet MiG-2, during LineBacker II (1972, Ha Noi, Viet Nam war)
In 1861 there were 11 Virginian colonels in the US Army, including Robert E Lee. Lee was the ONLY one to join the Confederacy.
In this week's Untitled History pod, Angry Staff Officer and I talk about the Virginians who didn't turn traitor. Including George Thomas, great general. Awesome hat-wearer. #history https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/the-untitled-history-podcast

My name is Alexandra. I help build I Write Like, a text editor. Unless one is a tech giant, the chances of people discovering their creation are slim, regardless of how wonderful the creation is. I wanted to change that, so I came to Mastodon.
I’m a writer. I share my short stories and poems, often illustrated with my own art and photography. I'm also interested in #science, #history, and #music.
I’m fairly new here and still learning.

🖤 For Black History Month, join us in celebrating the first Black classical music composer in France: Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges.
Inspired by the incredible true story of Bologne in 18th century France, Disney's Chevalier takes place during the lead up to the French Revolution. The film sheds light on the realities of France at this time and can ignite student interest in learning more about the French Revolution as well as this remarkable historical figure.
Our free Chevalier Discussion Guide also explores Bologne's legacy; Beginnings, Opportunity, and Excellence; and Race and Identity. For grades 11-12, adult/higher ed.
🔔 This is also a great film for Music in Our Schools Month in March!
