Who am I?

I’m the empathetic, AuDHD, covid aware, stay-at-home-dad of an amazing 7yr old.

I’ve been an engineer at Intel, taught college classes, written two novels (so far), and was a tech VP at Chase Bank in Manhattan. I’ve lived in 13 states (so far). Older I get, further left my politics get.

Bullies are mocking the founder of antifa’s girlfriend, all because they think she’s made up.

She’s real, I swear, she just goes to a different school!

Matt Reeves’ The Batman (2022) is a mislabeled The Crow reboot and not a Batman movie at all. While it’s a poor Batman film, it’s easily the best The Crow film since Brandon Lee died.

There. I said it.

Okay, lets do this.

One like, one opinion that's not on politics.

8 year old did her very first ninja competition this morning and got a perfect score. (You get one point for each obstacle completed). Best of all, this competition was mostly girls. Finally, a community she can feel a part of.

Bad things are happening globally, but good things still happen locally

The only royalty I recognize. Truly a Queen.

There are reports of torture, and I fear she may leave this quest mentally and physically scarred. One can only hope that Israel’s pathetic attempts to strike her down will in the end make her more powerful than they can possibly imagine.

Being rude to and refusing to listen to your user base has never worked to grow an app. Encouraging right wing hate mongers has never worked to make your app more approachable.

How have CEOs not learned this yet?

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

Free Speech!*

*- limited time offer. Some restrictions apply. After 249 years of America’s existence, this free speech offer will expire, and all speech will become punishable by jack booted thugs at the will of the President

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

I think there are only about 3 traits on here I DON’T have, and it’s mostly ones that conflict with others on the opposite side that I do have.

Not sure if I feel seen or attacked

I registered my personal domain back in ‘98. All my email addresses are 28 years old and aging. If there’s still an internet when they hit 40, I’m throwing them a party.

I think the hint is there on the page: “Vancouver Free Press”. Back then they were apparently the owners of the “The Georgia Straight”, an alternative weekly paper in Vancouver, BC

We used to have a saying: “facts have no place in a bar room argument”

We don’t need to stop and google every single thing. We can just live.

Any idea how to get elementary age kids vaccines? I heard they were approved but can’t find them available anywhere.

(In CA, but willing to travel to protect my child.)
maskedman.bsky.social
Walgreens says it doesn’t have it. Costco doesn’t have it. CVS doesn’t differentiate kids from adults, so they’ll let you make an appointment, but then when you arrive the pharmacist will tell you “sorry, we don’t have the kids version”.

Approved but unavailable means approval is meaningless 🙁
maskedman.bsky.social
Advice needed! Anyone know if kids covid vaccines (she’s age 8) are available in California?

They were supposedly approved, and we want her to get it before RFK Jr kills vaccines completely, but I can’t find any information about how to find kids covid vaccines.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

It’s cheap, too! I think a 2-week course of Metformin for 2 people who had just tested positive cost me $8.25 at my local pharmacy, without using insurance. At $2/week, that’s practically free

Every Dem candidate for '26 and '28 must, bare minimum, promise the abolishing of ICE and genuine significant punishment for every member of this administration and their collaborators. This isn't a purity test. It's the compromise position.
