@lefticus I found out that I could solve HS stoichiometry equations by programming my TI-86. My teacher decided if I wrote it, then I understood it and could use it. Found REALbasic for Mac and realized a whole career that I hadn’t considered before. Switched to C++ soon after…

Retweet if your 90's era calculator or 80's era computer with built in BASIC was an important part of your journey in learning programming.

I'm looking for modern equivalents to that experience.

To independent-minded voters:

A commitment to truth, decency, and the rule of law curbs the worst excesses of partisan zealotry and demagoguery. Therefore I generally recommend voting for Democrats, given that today's GOP is not committed to truth, decency, and the rule of law.

22 months ago, the sitting President incited domestic terrorists who then breached the Capitol during which time he told them he loved them in front of everybody.

What Elon Musk is doing with Twitter employees - and what all the other external advisors are assisting to - is deliberately cruel.

I'd have some compassion if it was a company fighting for its life. But it's not.

Never meet your heroes - or see them up close.

@wilshipley Southerners don’t buy tacos from Jack In The Box. At least, when we want tacos.

A peer just introduced “opening a box of butterflies” as an alternative for “can of worms.” I love it and am going to steal it.

So all that mediocre thought leadership was sucking up to Putin.

Musk hasn’t met an authoritarian whose boots he won’t lick.

Jimmy Carter is 98 years old. I was only 5 years old when he stopped being President of the United States, but his legacy is amazing. He represents the ideal of President as public servant, and he lived to carry out that public service for many years after serving as President.

Having one of those travel days where literally none of my flights have been correct, so now I’m in a foreign country, twelve hours later than anticipated, without my luggage.

Durham does it right. Today is a great day for a Pride parade and festival.

Every single Republican in Congress voted against lowering costs for Americans—now every single American needs to return the favor and vote them out of office.
