Me: I can’t believe UK voters chose to torch their economy with Brexit. That can never be topped.

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Hey BlueSky!

First post. I’m Matt, recently diagnosed with ADHD. I didn’t have what I thought were the typical symptoms. Turns out, ADHD isn’t just hyperactivity; there are other types, like inattentive ADHD. Now on Ritalin and getting so much done!

Interested in tech, gaming and kombucha.
