I like to run, read (okay, mostly listen), play video games, and spend time with my wife and daughter. I enjoy learning about science and philosophy. I am a software engineer.

I can't really get behind this sorta post cos on some level... yeah, I'll do that. It's easy for me to see the worth and value of people who respect me, and hard for me to see it in those who hate or oppress me: but I'm committed to doing it all the same. So yeah, I'll work harder for those cases. 🤷🏽

My personal feeling is, MOANA is actually Lin Manuel Miranda's career peak (to date), just incredibly strong numbers from start to finish and a top-tier villain song even though the character isn't properly the big bad

In 50 years, we'll look back on this era of cancerous brain rot, nihilism & ideological extremes with shame & regret that we never did a thing about the social media algorithms designed to reward polarization, outrage & hatred. But in the meantime, we'll all be fodder for the content slaughter mill

Hard to watch: @newsweek.com posted footage of masked ICE agents arresting 50-year-old grandmother Angela Gonzalez, who'd been here since she was 11. She had a pending VAWA application, but other than that, had no options for a green card since she got here too late for the Reagan amnesty.

The sad thing is that email and admin have taken over academic life so much that many of us have to squeeze in the poisoning of minds on evenings and weekends.

Do people who reject the very notion of attempting coalition building with "Nazis" (i.e. every single person who voted for Trump) know that LBJ was pro segregation for most of his career and racist until the day he died?
