Yesterday, a federal judge in Michigan did something extraordinary & important.

Yes, she penalized Trump's election attorneys for their conduct filing a lawsuit to have Michigan's 2020 election results thrown out.

But she did something bigger:

Took the suit seriously.

I've onboarded others a few times in my life and enjoy it because they have a knack for asking questions that cut straight to the most embarrassing parts of the codebase.

The oversimplification will continue until the complexity reduces.

My pettiest pet peeve: when someone writes PST even though it's actually PDT.

John Hopfield's 1984 paper might be the starting point to everything we need to know to understand human organization. It is five pages long.

@JacobraTheGreat Yes! I've heard some of my peers complain that they're "wasting time" when they do this, but I think it's a super important part of building a mental map of the code base. In the long run, you become much more productive in the codebase you're in.

I’ve been investigating how gay men feel about their bodies, and the extreme things some people are doing to look "sexier"...

This morning I was reminded this morning of an incident this week.

I was laughed at for writing sci-fi/fantasy as an author.

“You do know you’re an adult that lives in the real world don’t you?”

So just to prove a point, retweet if you’re an adult who reads sci-fi/fantasy.

@bruceholsinger Yes, 22.

@Serious_Brendan I second Deirdre! You can always come back to CS, and as the song lyric goes, you've only got 100 years to live.

I listened to a mother talk today about how her son died when he was 20 years old because of his inability to afford heart medication, and because he was between insurance plans. Lapses in coverage should not mean death in the wealthiest country in the world. #MedicareForAll
