  • change my view.

    Me and the Sullivan twins would like to have a conversation with you and a few baseball bats in the alley out back if you’re seriously arguing that Boston isn’t a metropolis… and don’t you dare fucking insult the Red Sox, Dunkin’ or the Bruins (actually, we care more if you bad mouth our college hockey teams) unless you’d like to qualify for Medicare early.


  • America is a really good example of why elected judges is a mixed bag - in counties where it happens you’ll occasionally see some righteous dethroning of a corrupt judge… but you’ll also see most elections go unnoticed with judges winning based on party alone and flying under the radar to enrich themselves.

    Compare that to the Supreme Court which appoints staffers based mostly on merit (obviously the current panel of justices is fucking disappointing) or political appointment by congress that’s given us Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Cannon.

    Election of jurists or internal career paths both have their advantages and disadvantages… political appointments is the only system that’s truly balls.






  • The real estate requirements are real and if you don’t have the space it simply won’t work - but they are absolutely fine for text legibility. An important thing to remember is that, because you’re viewing the reflection of the image instead of having a backlit screen, (outside of matte e-ink options) I’ve found it a lot less fatiguing on my vision than a traditional monitor. So, while I still prefer dark mode out of habit, even bright sections of the image for extended periods of time doesn’t make my eyes sore in the same way. Lastly, as someone who wanders and dances while they work - it’s much easier to keep focus on the screen as I migrate.

    I’m sure it’s not for everyone but it’s an extremely comfortable way for me to code.
