This is Alan. Alan ended his own life on 7th June 1954. He laced an apple with cyanide and ate a bite from it. He did this because the British government chemically castrated, humiliated and prosecuted him for being gay.
Alan is the reason why a chunk is bitten out of the Apple logo…in honour of Alan Turing.
Ok so what did he do? He invented computer science and using his first designs he decrypted the Enigma code - the machine base encryption that the Nazis and the German military used to communicate secret commands to each other in world war 2 - and hence he both saved millions of lives and brought us into the modern age of computing.
Pride month isn’t just about dancing on floats in gold hot pants or flying a rainbow flag. It’s about remembering that everyone has a right to be happy, love who they want to love, and recognise the outstanding contribution that everyone can make in a society free of fear or prejudice.
Remembering Alan……

@jeffjk Tunic was on sale on Steam so I got it and am enjoying it so far! I like reading video game instructions so that was a big selling point for me #HackTheNet
I just donated to the #Pixelfed project (again) because I believe the world needs it. I'm an Instagram user and want a more ethical platform. Kudos to @dansup @pixelfed @pixelfed
for the hard work to date. Excited to see it simplified, polished, and nearer to a 1.0-level solution for larger audiences. About to feed GitHub issues and potentially code along with the funds to help make that happen.
Please consider doing the same.

The prompt for the lighter ones was the same but with 'coal and lava' replaced with 'water and plasma'.

A real pleasure this morning to chat to Mark Drakeford (yes, the First Minister one!) about active travel as I was taking the kids to school.
Yesterday at our first meeting of the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales we heard about the amazing things Welsh Government is doing for #ActiveTravel in #Wales, and it was a delight to see Mark using an electric bike for the first time!
What a lovely guy too. Inspirational in an understated way, maybe for future First Ministers!
