Also on August 9, 1974: President Nixon resigned. With that, the wind down of deportation proceedings against John Lennon began. Surveillance of him under Attorney General John Mitchell had begun in early 1972, following the December 1971 John Sinclair benefit. With a re-election year looming and newly-enfranchised 18 year olds as part of the mix, the administration would take no chances on testing the political sway of an ex-Beatle. Using his October 1968 drug conviction as a pretext, John was labeled an “undesirable” and targeted for deportation. Though public support was brought to bear, the stress of the case did impact him (and his art) during the period. Once Nixon was gone, the prosecution continued, though perhaps without the same urgency; George used his December 1974 visit to the White House to petition President Ford personally but once set in motion, it was difficult to stop. But October 1975 saw John win his case against the government on the grounds of “selective prosecution” (convicted murderers had an easier time getting in and out of the country than John did), and in July 1976 - just weeks after the nation celebrated the Bicentennial - John received his long-coveted “Green Card” (blue, actually) that empowered him to cross the US border freely. * * * *

'Could it be that John and Paul feel a song comin' on? They had plenty of time to "compose" between takes.'

I appreciate Fabulous magazine making that sound like a euphemism.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

For anyone who hasn't seen them before, Hidden Search Operators are handy tricks you can use when you're either searching or filtering AO3.

summary: string is a generic way of explaining that you can search AO3 for a specific word that appears in a summary. You can do this from the search bar in the header, from the Any Field box at the top of the Advanced Search form, or from the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filter menu.

Examples:

summary: Bruce

summary: "Bruce Banner"

summary: Bruce OR summary: Banner OR summary: Hulk

You need to put quotation marks around your search term if it is more than one word. The quotes make sure that the site searches for those two words together.

The other two operators listed work best in the Search Within Results box.

expected_number_of_chapters: 1 will return results where every fic has only 1 chapter currently posted.

You can use expected_number_of_chapters: -1 if you want results where every fic has more than 1 chapter currently posted.

otp:true will return results where there is only 1 relationship tag on the fic. If you want results where there are 2+ relationship tags (and no fics with only 1 relationship tag) then you can use otp:false
