When Trump announced his first campaign in the quaint old days in 2015, I began cleansing my Twitter feed of anyone who switched from nerd stuff to politics. After a couple of months I was left with no one to follow, so I left Twitter entirely. Good riddance!

I prefer not to follow news at all. 99.999% of it never has anything to do with me. If I can’t hear it from the front porch of my house, I don’t care to know about it.

I quit Twitter in 2015 when my supposedly level-headed friends (most of whom are fellow software engineers) lost their minds and switched to posting only about politics. Twitter immediately lost all utility. To me, politics has little to do with good governance, and is thus a kind of misinformation or spam. I opted right out of all that. I’ve been much happier ever since.

You asked for a decent editor, not a kitchen sink, so I’ll stop here without touching on Emacs.

The Epstein drive is great, but it only lets one travel to the private island.

Alright, alright! I’ll show myself out.

Thank goodness! The unicorn I work for will finally ditch JIRA and move on to something more user-friendly. What a relief.
