By way of #introduction , I use Mastodon wrong. I use Twitter wrong in the same way. I'm usually a half day behind, but I try to read everything I subscribe to. That also means I'm not necessarily interacting in real time. I lurk, like and boost many hours later.

But me, I manage some software dev people for a fin data firm. I play music and try to build things for hobby time. I read comic books and novels. Interested in art, technology, writers and voice actors.

Once I found out that my ability to say, "I don't know," is viewed by other people as a type of super power, I stopped being embarrassed by it, and I've fully embraced it.

Y'all can stop panicking. I ate at IHOP this morning. I can attest that their signage has not changed. I ate pancakes, like I'd expect to.

While there is a difference between mistreating a girlfriend, and mistreating an employee. I point out the part where said girlfriend became an employee. If a line will need to be drawn around metoo, THIS is NOT that line. #Chloe

New neighbor moved in...

I just have to say this... Cameras are needed on NYC subway cars. The buses have them.

Years before A New Hope, Han shot first.

It's like Disney decided that Lucas was wrong, and that Han doesn't have to be a 100% good-guy after all.

How many years of lost pet notices does this pole represent?

Can't sleep. Teenager decided to try the knockout game on my head as I got off the train last evening. Broke my glasses which bloodied the side of my nose. In permanent damage that I can tell. Just ... It's replaying in my head over and over again.

Supreme Court rules in favor of baker who would not make wedding cake for gay couple

That's a headline from the Washington Post. It's official, the USA has gone full shit.

At BookExpo, the publisher's trade show. I just got a copy of Oracle Year by Charles Soule (the comic book writer). Met him briefly, got it autographed. I read an advanced readers copy this sorting, and cannot recommend it enough.

Older midfle-age guy problems:

I am a fan of comics and have a general fear of coming off as creepy. So many round-in-the-middle older guys at cons really do come off as creepy. Because of that, I rarely comment on how well done a cosplay is.

That's on me.
