thehill.com/homenews/campa… Some of you won't care, that's where you are. OK.

Some of you have models, that predict the future, that didn't predict this. The world doesn't work like you thought.

Our Nazis play a few moves ahead. Are they more surprised than you?

Shit got real.

The teams that know the score tend to beat the teams that don't know the score.

I suppose not always.

It's actually sometimes tricky to know the score, though. That is a thing that happens, or is made to happen. Hard to tell.

Know the score.

Don't just work the refs.

Know the score.

Or lose.

Of course, this is funny, since I'm super willing to lose, random white dude freaking out about brown kids in baby prisons.

It's just, I know baby prisons means adults lost, monsters won.

Our children are watching. Really. They are very interested in who wins this particular fight. They know what we say. They know what we want them to think. They are taking it all in.

This is us, putting on a show. For our children.

This is me, childless -- and not. Damn.

I do not like this fight. War is not fun. Code is fun! Code is magic! Look at all the things I can make code do!

I will write all of you the craziest, most magical code you have ever seen. I don't get to right now. I don't get to *try* to right now.

Holy shit. Nazis, huh

That being said, it's not like I'm without clever tricks.

Bioinformatics pipelines are slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. "COMPILING!" as a feature is...one of the funnier ways I've ever used to manage my own nerdery.

I play with many, many things. This, right here, is my privilege.

Kinda don't get to fiddle while Rome burns. Fiddles are fun, they ain't that fun. There's a fire.
