Just logged in for the first time since July to say: I'm no longer actively using Twitter!

Find me elsewhere around the internet :)

@KillerMartinis So, you start with 99 red balloons, but instead of setting them free at the break of dawn and triggering a massive mutual self-destruction event, invest them...

there’s a foaming, nonstop, all out media war targeting Boudin and it’s weird people act like there isn’t https://t.co/JGW2ijIM75

As per tradition, the last question of my final exam asked students to write a funny haiku about distributed systems for 1 point of extra credit. Last year, someone submitted https://t.co/EP8jhtP9dq -- so this year I said memes are also acceptable.

Thread of my favorites! ⬇️

“The act reflected many of the core tenets of journalism: Afflicting the comfortable, shining a light on wrongdoing, bearing witness on behalf of the marginalized, speaking truth to power.”

I was thinking about how once the expectation of high grades gets established for a child, there is no more success, only lack of failure. All my friends are in a constant cycle of trying their best and not feeling like they’ve accomplished anything

Dear Team—

Many of you have read some concerning stories about our user tracking. While media characterizations aren’t entirely accurate, we are listening and learning. Today, I can share some exciting news: we’ve committed to purchasing ethics offsets, to be net ethical by 2030

[Erty @ertyseidohl]

Lo-fi friends 24/7 to chill/study with.

[Erty @ertyseidohl]

Maybe someday I'll get some time to go to @recursecenter again and this can be my project :)

So, I have old Playstation2 DDR pads from like 2010 that are still kickin' (pun intended) and I was like, hey, I should hook these up to my PC and play stepmania and necrodancer, but now I've tried three different Playstation2->USB converters and none of them worked 😭

[Erty @ertyseidohl]

I immediately thought that I should try writing my own custom driver for them, but that's not my expertise and I don't have time for that, so, no DDR for me :(

It's about damn time tenants wrote their own rights into federal law. The #HomesGuarantee campaign plans to engage ONE MILLION tenants this summer to do just that. Get your roomies, neighbors, comrades, and friends to be a part of this historic effort: https://t.co/dvTATM9MCn

cafe workers: "we are unionizing"
owner: "lol then I'm selling the cafe"
cafe workers: proceed to buy the cafe and turn it into a worker's co-op

talk about a best case scenario!
