I cosign every single word of this

I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it. But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

coding interviews are a joke and i'm gonna be so pissed if i can't get a job because i don't know how to find some "trick" to solve some toy problem that has nothing to do with developing and maintaining a massively complex compiler codebase, which is a thing that i *am* actually good at doing.

Screenshot of Korax, a Klingon from Star Trek (the original series, so no bumpy forehead), taken from the episode The Trouble with Tribbles. He has a speech bubble poorly drawn over him to suggest he is saying the quoted post.

I saw that "why aren't the youths reading?" Atlantic article re-shared 8 gazillion times in the last week. Here's a response from the English teacher interviewed in the article: "The Atlantic Did Me Dirty."

The Atlantic Did Me Dirty
Early this summer I was interviewed by Rose Horowitch, an editor for The Atlantic. She told me that she had heard from a university professor that incoming students were struggling to keep up with the...

After many virtual talks w @dahlialithwick.bsky.social about what originalism is, why it sucks, & what we should do about it, tonight we get to have one such talk in person at Amicus Live!

Tune in, and for more on the subject, preorder my debut book The Originalism Trap!

Image of text on a creamish background with very faint constitutional cursive on it. The title of my book, 'The Originalism Trap,' is at the top in blue Beneath that is a red box with large blue quoted text within it. The quoted text reads: ' "ONE OF OUR MOST BRILLIANT YOUNG LEGAL VOICES." -- Dahlia Lithwick, Slate Legal Correspondent and Author of Lady Justice ' At the top center of the red box that the quote is in is my name, Madiba K. Dennie. At the bottom center of the red box are too criss-crossed quills forming an X

The Supreme Court heard Trump's claims of ~absolute immunity~ today and was too into the idea that it should remand for lower courts to sort out what gets immunity and what doesn’t

This could further delay prosecution and push accountability farther out of reach

Donald Trump Already Got What He Needed From the Supreme Court
Even if the justices don’t give him the sweeping immunity he’s asked for, their handling of the case is helping him run out the clock.

I *need* you to listen to the deeply broken text-to-speech narration from this Google blog post. (They removed it after people pointed out how bad it was, but I promise you this was actual audio on a real official Google blog post.)

I wrote about Gov. Hochul’s vibes-based militarization of the New York City subway and how she’s playing into the hands of Republicans who shit their pants at the thought of coming here.

Friends, we have a book cover & I'm feeling feelings! 🥹 Say hello to

THE ORIGINALISM TRAP: How Extremists Stole the Constitution and How We the People Can Take it Back

My book (!) is available for preorder now and everything -- she's becoming real ❤️

www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735353...
Picture of my book cover! The background is creamish with very faint blue cursive constitutional text. In the foreground is large bold blue text reading "THE ORIGINALISM TRAP". Just below that, there are bright red feathered quills, crossed, forming a big X. Centered beneath the X reads in smaller text "HOW EXTREMISTS STOLE THE CONSTITUTION AND HOW WE THE PEOPLE CAN TAKE IT BACK". ('We the People' is slightly larger than the other words). And at the very bottom, there's my name, Madiba K. Dennie
