Computer scientist, EDA and optimization. I build guitars from kits and write apps in my spare time.
It's about time for the GOP to start pretending to believe that the elections were stolen. I wonder what their BS story will be this year.

five days and a few hours to go and at this point I'm just gonna be shameless: if you can help signal-boost this thing, I'd be grateful. I've done very well through my own channels, but haven't had much luck breaking out beyond them.

The Republicans are right to not like being portrayed as entirely racist.

On J6, only about half were carrying Confederate flags and chanting "white power."

The other half were chanting "Hang Mike Pence," which is totally not racist at all.

Donnie had the Enquirer photoshop Ted's dad with Lee Harvey Oswald, then he and Pence went out to pretend the Cruz-JFK assassination link was real.

I wonder who Pam Bondi is putting into the photoshop machine right now. Obama? Biden? Schumer? Rosie O'Donnell?

Guitar wiring day. Firebird kit with triple P90s. I’m having to improvise a bit with some push-pull pots. We’ll see how it goes….

77 million Americans wanted this.

Trump is just a symptom. The root cause is all the people who heard the Access Hollywood tape, watched Charlottesville and J6, and thought "oh yeah, I want more of that!"

Thank you, Sly. You were your self, and that helped everyone else be themselves too.

I'll miss you very much. And funnily enough, there's a riot going on.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

This statement from the NSF is insane.

Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false.

Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.

It's important to note that she was selected on merit, or so I'm told.

I added a kill switch to one of my strats (an inexpensive kit build). The current state of the world requires a bit of Tom Morello action (and some Henry Rollins too).
