You should get the fuck off the stage and apologize, asshole. This statement is your life from here on in.
Shove your hatred and bias and Nazi dreams up your ass, Motherfucker.

10 years ago today @aaronsw took his own life after overly aggressive prosecution.
He invented internet infrastructure.
He defeated the greatest threat the Internet had ever seen.
And you probably don't know who he is.

On a per-square-foot basis, the dense, walkable, transit-oriented, mixed-used neighborhoods of #Brookline pay much more in property taxes than the parts of town that are more automobile-oriented. #mapoli

Researchers just found that gas stoves are responsible for 12.7% of childhood asthma cases.
Recently I read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality.
I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests.

"One of the great unacknowledged triumphs of our lifetime"
Since 1870, 61 great famines have killed over 100M (half in China, 25% in Europe & Russia, 10% in Africa)

Today a spider was hanging from the ceiling, and my students noticed it but continued to take notes and pay attention to my presentation. That is how amazing I am at classroom management.
I’m kidding. It was absolute chaos. Students screamed, until I caught it.

merely thinking about how all video games are secretly rhythm games
and how as a game designer, or even an interface designer, you’re always thinking about how it feels to play the game, and the rhythm at which you’re pressing the buttons
