I decided to run for congressional representative.

How's it going?

I'm going to be respectful and not mention any political parties.

However I'm not part of the big party.

I'm not expected to win, but at least I'm going to put up a fight.

I'm involved in some Zoom calls to learn about the process of campaigning.

I have a creative background (mixed with punk rock) and intend to make this a creative process.

Additional goals are to get away from the computer, meet new people, and have fun.

I would generally vote for whoever I have a beer with!

I run ad blockers and pihole, does that help?

Should be fine. To check, open up devtools and see if the requests to /li/track fail.

In all honesty, I don't think I have met one dev that could be a manager.

Also from my perspective, the article doesn't make any sense.

In 1995 I used slide rules in Fort Sill, Ok. Haven't used them since.

Now if only there was a good phone that runs GNU.
