TINKY-WINKY: Hey, wait up!

@thehill @bmacDonald94 Vance’s life contradicts his thesis: Having children hasn’t helped Vance since he’s looking to make America a worse place for his children specifically.

@bmacDonald94 I have a slightly different take. https://www.shanecelis.com/posts/genesis/

@nando161 @bmacDonald94 MUSK: They keep saying “far right.” But it seems very reasonable to me. I don’t get it.

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read.

APPLE: Your users know that you're spying?

LINUX: You guys are spying?

@bmacDonald94 That’s fabulous. Truly a meeting of independent minds in that case.

I’m really enjoying all these Hitchens quotes you’re laying down. Would love to hear him lament and lambast what’s happening these days. He was something.

@bmacDonald94 It’s funny the test for an independent mind is to not be free of errors but to err in its own way.

SECURITY CONSULTANT: So shall we use a PIN number or password?

GAS STATIONS: We were thinking a zip code ought to do it.

SECURITY CONSULTANT, shudders: Oh…

1. DO OPEN SOURCE
2. ???
3. PROFIT!!!

It took me twenty years, but I finally did something about step 2. https://github.com/sponsors/shanecelis?o=sd&sc=t

“No trees. Help.”

“Time travel to 2012.”

“That fixed it. Why?”

“Uh, don’t ask…”

CLIPPY: Use of `format!` to build up a string from an iterator.

ME: You do what now?

CLIPPY: For further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#format_collect

ME: Oooh! I didn't know you could accept the accumulator as mutable. Thanks, Clippy!
