CIO at Amherst College by day, father of two by night. Avid gamer, technologist, reader. I always take the blue highways when I can. Tweets are my own.

For once, a cool research paper that validates your hopes, rather than your fears.

A 14-year study finds that selfish, combative, and manipulative people don't actually get ahead. While their assertiveness helps, their lack of generosity undermines them. https://t.co/vdB0WFbScI

https://t.co/5hhevCDeub is interesting - the most recent Pivot podcast interviewed the founder and I hope he’s onto something. Here’s a referral link https://t.co/BqJSHPzXRr which may help me get into the beta. I’m in no rush though so click or not as your interests dictate.

Soooo so much this. They also give your contact info to other campaigns, so you give $$$ to one, and you get daily spam from many others.

Some worry about the broader free speech implications in the Alex Jones case, but I believe that if you don’t want to get sued for a billion dollars, you simply should not invent conspiracy theories about dead children for profit.

Total human genome sequence for just $200.
Some of us remember the first one cost more than $1 BILLION.
We laugh at Moore's Law -- HA!

Asylum seekers are people—not political props. They deserve to be treated with dignity, and that’s exactly what Massachusetts will do.

Fingers so crossed….

A team of @NIH & UofTx scientists have found an Achilles heal on #SARSCoV2, the original SARS & other #coronaviruses that can be attacked by mouse antibodies. It's a spot on the viruses where sugars attach: a possible target for an all-coronaviruses vax.

Hey @PetSmart, give these employees a raise.

After I was cut from the Steelers, I wandered, directionless. One day, my Mummy brought me a tattered notebook that held a list: "When you grow up... 1. Play football in the NFL. 2. Become a neurosurgeon."

"This one is done," she said, tapping the first entry. "Now this one."

[Temple of the Roguelike @roguetemple]

The creator of "Moria", the very first directly rogue-inspired game, a roguelike before the roguelikes came to be, has abandoned this earthly plane. Thank you Mr. Koeneke for providing endless hours of fun to thousands of players worldwide for many years, your legacy lives on!

in the 90’s, computers would scream every time you went online. that was foreshadowing

[Amherst College @AmherstCollege]

Let's give a well-deserved round of applause to the Amherst College staff and faculty. 👏

It's no secret—our staff and faculty are absolutely incredible. They go above and beyond for our community every day. Thank you for everything you do!

I don't think congressional Democrats understand that voters see them as the cops standing around outside the school.

[tempus @tempus]

This. The only language our politics will hear is $. A national strike seems the only way to get attention and cause change.

[Baratunde @baratunde]

This is it. What if we went further? Stopped work. Stopped sports. Sit in the streets and stop the flow of traffic, money, everything. Until we get our democracy back. We are being held hostage by a minority of extremists in the @GOP loyal to death dealers.
