My old man kept asking me about Pelosi's $25 million home in Florida when I went back home and I had heard literally nothing about it. And I cover Pelosi pretty heavily. Turns out, as @JimSwiftDC writes, it's not true at all.

I enjoyed the movie The Harder They Fall. But this is worth reading. Feels like this was a rare opportunity to represent solidarity among Black and Indigenous people. And instead they completely erased that part of the history.

I have to admit that I haven’t watched it because of this. I don’t know why we can’t get this right. Anti-Blackness is Native shows and then Native erasure in Black shows.

This story takes places in Indian Territory and this historic gang was Native.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

I didn't understand it that way at that age obviously. When you're young, you just accept how institutions work because you don't know any better. But Georgia Tech was incredibly elitist and exclusionary in hindsight. By the time I left that school I hated it.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

They weren't kidding either. People were dropping like flies. When I say I had an aptitude, I mean it was hard but I was able to figure it out. For a lot of people, it never clicked. I believe CompSci at Georgia Tech was a huge barrier for people trying to get into STEM fields.

Computer Science 1101 was the course they used to weed out the stragglers. It was 150 freshmen per class. And they did that thing where they told you to look to your left and your right. One out of 3 people wouldn't make it through the course.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

Technically it was all majors within the school of engineering. Which at Georgia Institute of Technology means almost all majors.

@segdeha ("Andrew Hedges") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

@polotek Wait. What school did you go to that *all* majors had to take intro to comp sci?!

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

My second year, I switched majors to computer science. The rest of my college career was spent trying to dodge other pre-requisites so I could take more major courses. Don't do that btw. My entire last year was nothing but pre-reqs. Brutal.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

I started majoring in computer engineering. Which starts out teaching you about hardware and circuitry. I was pretty bored by all of that. (I'm not a very good student).

But the compsci class was cool. It struck a chord with me pretty early as something I could stick with.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

I didn't know anything about computers until my senior year in high school. But the more I poked around with one, it struck me as something that required a lot of skills and education. And where I come from, that means more money. So it seemed like a reasonable career bet.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

Like a lot of people, I didn't have a "passion". I always wanted to be a writer of some kind. But it takes a lot of work to create a career from that. And I was honestly too lazy. Didn't have that kind of initiative. I was hoping for a good job that paid well.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") wrote:

Doing something with math or engineering was drilled into me from a young age. This was before "STEM" became the word of the day.

In college, all majors had to take intro to computer science. I found I had an aptitude for it. Not much more to it than that.
