“She is today appreciated as the “first programmer” since she was writing programs—that is, manipulating symbols according to rules—for a machine that [Charles] Babbage had not yet built.

“If a bunch of chumps from Utah or Colorado are trying to influence how my state is run, I deserve to know about that. And if schoolteachers are making $100 donations to make laws that are intended to erode the notion of equal protection under the law, I want to know about that, too, before I let them try to teach my kids social studies.”
