Conway's Law isn't a promise, it's a threat! If you whine about a math problem in base-10, I'll make you do it in base-16 too.

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

Today I am feeling sore about the daft adoption of Latin by romantic languages. Especially French. Also Italian and German should be mutually exclusive in any given linguistic context. If you hate American English, so do we pal. And seriously, fuck French.

It’s been hugely sick(🤘) to find out that the Checks and Balances in our government are nothing more than gentlemen’s agreements that hinge on people being decent and acting in good faith, and buddy, we’re all out of decent, good-faith people.

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

🌤️ Stop me if you've heard this one before: Another hot and dry day, with a high in the mid-80s in Denver (record: 89, 1910), and a bit breezy this afternoon.  🌡️ Similar tomorrow (low-mid 80s) and Monday before fall-like weather finally arrives Tuesday/Wednesday. #COwx
