@IanColdwater: I’ve heard being a man on the Internet compared to using an adblocker: same Internet, but you see a lot less shit.

So I did this for a few people, so they could experience what it’s like to be a non-man online, at least a bit. To see what it’s like with the adblocker turned off.

@SFBart: We at BART will forever miss you, Courtney. Courtney asked us tough questions and demanded accountability while being our biggest supporter. We will never forget the joy you expressed when you finally boarded a Fleet of the Future train. Rest In Peace.

I'm not completely sure who the pictured person is, but apparently, they (and my workplace) were involved in some scientific results? https://twitter.com/abhikghosh/status/1257768416594800642?s=20

Two work notes:

1) We're having a playlist competition--everyone submits a song, and then we do some kind of voting to narrow down what our work playlist for the month of May is (to be enjoyed remotely, of course)

2) My department is competing against other departments (including that of Kodiak's sister) to raise money for local food banks (Alameda and Contra Costa). If you happen to have a little extra to give at this time: https://give.foodbankccs.org/ALS

Spanish.

Two. I currently speak English, and I talk “Turkey” when it is warranted.
