How do you feel about the fact that someone at DragonCon last week was dressed in a square pink dress with a side blond ponytail? (I missed her, but a friend described her in detail). Does it scare you that everyone immediately exclaimed, "OMG she's dressed as Allie Brosh!" ?

Thank you for this. I'm American, and when I visited the UK over the summer my partner and I went to visit Bletchley Park (I work in AI and he's a programmer). We were... disheartened, to say the least, that for all of the talk of Turing and the statues of him, no one mentioned his treatment by the government during the tour. I think someone from Bletchley mentioned (online, after the fact) that they're planning to change the tour a bit, to accommodate this.

Fabulous. This was only about 5 months ago, and I knew the apology had already happened, so it's great to hear it's finally made its way to Bletchley (which, for anyone reading, is a really magnificent way to spend a day if you're able).
