Hey you wanna follow what I’m up to even if I stop twittering? My blog strangeleaflet.com has RSS.

I am proud to announce that I've asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate. As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he's delivered for working families like his. It's great to have him on the team. Now let’s get to work. Join us: secure.actblue.com/donate/social-…

Yeeaaaah bye Twitter. Find me on mastodon or my blog.

How about a limit of some ratio of texts per political donation? Even 10 to 1 would be better than this.

Eyy wanna see my ElixirConf talk on Livebook smart cells including some animated GIFs I made? Now you can! youtu.be/Yw_EqX_KAw4

@ChrisDeLeon We have a minimum age requirement to be president. I don’t see why we can’t also have a maximum.
