These guys are just politicians. The Constitution to them is just a fun tool to help them impose their political views on the entire country. The implausible inconsistency of the guns and abortion rulings is both sickening and revealing.

I’m doing everything in my power to ensure a bipartisan background checks bill becomes law.
It won’t be easy—but I know we can do it. Can you donate $5 to @GiffordsCourage so we can pressure our leaders to take action on gun violence? #HR8

Seems like many people still don’t know how great Apple Arcade is. After Game Pass, it’s the best subscription, I think. Tons of what you see at every Nintendo indie showcase are months-old Apple Arcade ports. There’s so much good stuff there, and most work with a controller.

When I was young, I didn't really "get" Computer Science. It was all about sorting algorithms which I still haven't used.
So for folks just starting out, I created a short walkthrough of CS in a real world project: speeding up a blur.

If you enjoy the song, please share.
