Thats what the SJWs dont get. The people shitting on this story are doing it not because this Katie person is a woman but because she is being praised due to being a woman and not her actual merit.
Your avatar is exactly how i picture you when i read your posts.
And it will happen this way every time the media is allowed to get away with it by people they use to drive a narrative. If Katie immediately came out and said "eat shit fake news journalists, I matter because I am smart, not because i have a cunt" then the autist would have nothing to rage about. However, this hasnt happened and thus Katie and others like her will continue to get shit on together with fake news media and the melvins of the world.
Nuke the SLS.

So umm, are we still talking space stuff or a really weird and amazing party from 1983 (or current day Japan)?
Material science/solid state chem is by far one of the coolest things. Nothing makes one feel like a God like manipulating matter does.My college astronomy prof was supposed to be on the Challenger but got bumped for the chick. He had a buncha Shuttle tiles he let us play with. We heated them up with a MAP gas torch to glowing orange and you could pick them up with your bare hands. They were basically some hot rodded glass matrix that they managed to expand a 100x its original volume. A 12" x 12" x 4" block barely moved the needle on a gram scale. Pretty cool shit.
Joe Ciotti. Great teacher,
I know these tweets are nearly 18 hours old, which in internet terms is essentially prehistoric, but they still feel at least a little relevant to me. Call me old fashioned.
(1/7) So apparently some (I hope very few) people online are using the fact that I am the primary developer of the eht-imaging software library (https://github.com/achael/eht-imaging …) to launch awful and sexist attacks on my colleague and friend Katie Bouman. Stop.
(2/7) Our papers used three independent imaging software libraries (including one developed by my friend@sparse_k). While I wrote much of the code for one of these pipelines, Katie was a huge contributor to the software; it would have never worked without her contributions and
(3/7) the work of many others who wrote code, debugged, and figured out how to use the code on challenging EHT data. With a few others, Katie also developed the imaging framework that rigorously tested all three codes and shaped the entire paper (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ab0e85 …);
(4/7) as a result, this is probably the most vetted image in the history of radio interferometry. I'm thrilled Katie is getting recognition for her work and that she's inspiring people as an example of women's leadership in STEM. I'm also thrilled she's pointing
(5/7) out that this was a team effort including contributions from many junior scientists, including many women junior scientists (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10213326021042929&set=a.10211451091290857&type=3&theater …). Together, we all make each other's work better; the number of commits doesn't tell the full story of who was indispensable.
(6/7) So while I appreciate the congratulations on a result that I worked hard on for years, if you are congratulating me because you have a sexist vendetta against Katie, please go away and reconsider your priorities in life. Otherwise, stick around -- I hope to start tweeting
(7/7) more about black holes and other subjects I am passionate about -- including space, being a gay astronomer, Ursula K. Le Guin, architecture, and musicals. Thanks for following me, and let me know if you have any questions about the EHT!

on suicide watch
SLS is never going to do anything useful because it's going to get delayed until it is shit canned. I think i have an avatar bet with someone saying so. Maybe
LachiusTZ
?
Ill get you one day
People on this board have said a lot worse about Elon Musk. How come you weren't there to defend him? Because you're the sexist.
thinking about unfuckable extrasolar beta orbiters. HHEHE
