Get Acquainted
In 2017, I recorded Reacquainted, a limited 20-episode podcast, as a fun way for a friend and I to get reacquainted after a long separation.“Adam and Joe were childhood friends, but life pulled them apart. 20 years later, they're very different people.”This is a great first step to finding out who I am.
Social Media
After leaving Twitter, I setup on Mastodon, posting on thosemartins.net a social media site that I own and control.This feed is fairly unoffensive: posts related to tech, sports, books, movies, TV, and general life.
17 Years of Blogging
“Minor Thoughts” (from me to you) was my second blog. Written from 2006–2023, I wrote about politics, culture, book and movie reviews.It's an insight into what I was thinking and feeling. And what I felt free to say when I thought no one was reading.Today, I'd disavow many different posts on the site. — But that's another blog, for the future.
Social Media — Political and Unfiltered
Joe’s More Minor Thoughts — along with the Minor Thoughts blog — is the social media feed that was supposed to ensure that I would fail any vetting process and be completely unelectable to any position of public trust.Politics and religion, everything you shouldn't discuss in polite company. Reacting emotionally or speaking prophetically is, perhaps, in the eye of the beholder.Essential reading for any nominating committee.
