    In October 2020 he joined in signing a letter stating: “Given his astonishing success in his first term, we believe that Donald Trump is the candidate most likely to foster the promise and prosperity of America.”

    Alright then.

    Oh he’s the one who recommended a grad student to Epstien because she was a “v[ery] small goodlooking blonde”. Apparently he also opposes women in the workforce.

    I feel little sympathy for him

    One of the other victims was Dr Charles Epstein, I’ve wondered for a while if he was some kind of relation.

    In the 1980s, Gelernter made seminal contributions to the field of parallel computation, specifically the tuple space coordination model, as embodied by the Linda programming system he and Nicholas Carriero designed (which he named for Linda Lovelace, the lead actress in the porn movie Deep Throat, mocking the naming of the programming language Ada in tribute to the scientist and first attributed computer programmer, Ada Lovelace).

    Imagining the smug little chortle he must make every time he delivers that punchline…

        I was more daydreaming about what may have been, i.e if he killed people who deserved it. I don’t cekebrste him because it’s illegal to celebrste terrorists and there’a probably lots more to his actions than I might know about.

          I was around during the era of the bombings. I wasn’t personally affected or anything, but it was kinda scary to be a kid and think you might open the mail and die. If you were around for the D.C. Sniper, it was kinda like that except A LOT slower.

      He went crazy. The difference between his academic writing and the manifesto is worlds apart.

      He said some aweful shit, but props to his treatment of the Epstein class
