Everytime I think "maybe I should change up my 'is a year a leap year or not' example when introducing TDD", I have a moment where most of the class realizes that a leap year is not just a year divisible by 4 and wow is that a teachable moment about non-code complexity in software dev.

YES, A FAILED IMPEACHMENT MEANS REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF TRUMP'S CONDUCT. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON TO DO IT

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

Missed all of last week (the first week of spring term classes) with the flu. Happy first day of the term for me!

This country won't stop letting people who gleefully delight in the suffering of others have platforms and power, and that's the rot at our core

WHERE IS THE ASTEROID sweet baby jesus we have jumped the shark

Preparing for a big test

Later this week, I test for my 4th degree black belt in taekwondo. Black belt rank tests (testing for the next belt level) are a different kind of beast. Before you can rank test, you need to spend a minimum amount of time within your current rank, AND be ready to test.…

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

So much ICE out there today in South Minneapolis. They’re prowling around harassing schools.

Stay frosty, friends

Someone was abducted in St Anthony this morning at 6 AM near 29th Ave & Silver Lake Road. And then at 8 AM we saw at least 5 agents out of their vehicles at 26th & Jackson near Walgreens before they dispersed into the neighborhood.

This isn’t over. We still need people keeping watch & staying safe.

I have a dress that is really just a glorified sweatshirt with pockets. It's on heavy rotation right now.

This, on perpetual repeat

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

There is no reforming this. There is only abolition, and then trials.

Come ride bikes with us in Minneapolis! And spend your money at our amazing local businesses.

In the meantime please keep donating to help us keep our neighbors housed/fed/in MN.

Lots of donation options here: standwithminnesota.com

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

dang it, *dystopian*.

You say "cool", I say "distopian". 🤷‍♀️

the bloodshed? came after:

“it’s okay, i’m not mad at you”

&

“are you okay?”

Democracy dies in broad daylight under billionaire ownership

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, these agents are doing this on video.

Not another dime for these motherfuckers. Not one more piece of equipment, no more nonsense about body cams and training.

Shut it down.

And not to put too fine a point on it, but a president who ran on eliminating “illegal” immigrants created a ton more “illegal” immigrants by canceling a bunch of actual real legal statuses. He took people off the path that everyone says they want people on.

What the rest of the country needs to know is those days don’t exist in Minnesota right now. Every single day we hear about them terrorizing one of our neighbors, tear gassing the helpers, and driving around our city like maniacs

"In theater" is a military term that refers to a wartime theater of operations. ICE and CBP agents are in Minnesota, which is one of the United States. The enemy in this military operation are citizens of Minnesotans and the United States.
