This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians

I feel kind of out of the loop, so soliciting pointers to anything credible to explain why people are still using Twitter at all. I don’t get it. It seems like for some people reach takes priority over not supporting…. All of that. I must be missing something.

Adolescence and Slow Horses were both great shows!
Came across some #golang code using 8-character tabstops. Super unusual in my experience. Just me?
Booked! For the first time since 2013 in Santa Clara, I’ll be attending PyCon US. I’m giddy about it. #pycon #python
