At a swim pep rally at swim club where I am the only brown person in the family of whites galore. Like just one lol. So yeah no ones talking to me and people I hang out with usually are not here either so I am going to spend time on micro! No this is not a criticism of white people - I am an introvert and I know that so striking up a convo is not my thing anyway. Swimming really is such a white sport though.

Dad left for India last night and calm has returned. I think the outcome of this vacation is that two months is a long time for him to be here and summer is the worst time to come. Next trip it will have to be shorter and in a different season, though the next trip will be a little while away.

I honestly do think that the Biden campaign and his coterie of advisors did a massive disservice to him. I watched good parts of press conference this morning and he was eloquent, answered questions with depth and knowledge of someone who knows his stuff inside out. So then, WHY THE FUCK HAS HE NOT BEEN DOING MORE PRESS CONFERENCES! I just can’t understand this line of thinking. He clearly does not have an issue speaking on any issue, then why the F would you not get him front of press in adhoc way more? If anything his stammer and verbal gaffes would’ve been total non-issues and it might have actually helped Biden himself be a little bit more human. Unlike now it just feels everything his campaign is doing is to save his campaign from impending disaster.

So you are telling me that 50% of the country who held such a big grudge that a black man was president of the country for 8 years that they overlooked a wildly capable white woman for president in favor of a racist orange fuck will somehow be ok with a potential black woman president?

I guess Biden’s solo debate is tonight with press eh? No matter what he says, the op-ed has already been written is my guess and everyone knows how it will go.

What if, and hear me out, its actually Harris herself plotting Biden’s post-debate collapse? She sees an opening here but she wants to make sure she comes across as a savior, not as an opportunist. What if she is orchestrating the fallout from the background, slowly but surely putting pressure on Biden to move aside for her? She probably realizes that after 8 years of democratic president, the chances of her winning in 2028 are pretty slim and she wants to make the best use of an opening here because she truly believes she can be the one?

I know, I have watched too much of Veep!

It would be amazing if Joe drops out and we get Kamala as nominee and then 10 days before election the orange buffoon dies of a heart attack. I think one of the two will happen.

Thankful that I have a dog that cares two hoots for fireworks or thunder and lightning. The boy was chilling on deck while it’s thundering loud all around - had to call him for his own safety. He seemed to be enjoying it!

At the beginning of the pandemic, I worked in a true 2 pizza team fashion to launch a search engine dedicated to covid research. Today I randomly decided to check on all the folks who worked with me during those days. Turns out other than me, there are only 2 more people left within the company and everyone else has left! Made me feel so old suddenly.

I have given up on two things and its somehow bringing me peace because I feel like I can start looking ahead:

1. Biden is the nominee.
2. Biden is going to lose big to Trump, giving him the house, senate and presidency.

I have no absolutely no doubts about #2 happening at this point, so in a way I am actually at peace that my vote is mostly going to be performative. I need to look beyond to see whats next and what might be coming.

📺 The Bear - Season 3 - ★★★☆☆

I wanted to give it 3-1/2 stars. Started off brilliant and then just meandered away through the season. I hope next season is the last because there is nothing left.

📺 The Bear - Season 3 - ★★★☆☆

Started out so brilliant and just began to meander away in second half of season. I wish it was better. Couldn’t match S2 for sure.

I think the whole NyTimes story around Parkinson’s doctor visiting White House could have blown over had it not been for KJP and her press conference. Like why is it so hard to just say why the specialist was there? If it was for policy just say so? Instead she gave such a long ramble about security it was so ridiculous to watch and only makes the nytimes story feel that much truer. Like does Biden’s admin really acting out that stupid now?

How dry and summery it’s been this year? Last 2 years we had atleast 2 or 3 swim meets that canceled because of weather. This year - none! It’s been just dry and I am loving it!

Now is the time for democrats to just disagree and commit. Everyone’s had their word on the topic. Even I might have wanted another candidate, but Biden has decided to stick it out so it is what it is. Now its up to us to commit to him and vote him back! Enough of this daily nonsense.

🎵 Blockbuster - Lost Stories Remix - Faris Shafi, Umair Butt, Gharvi Group, Lost Stories - ★★★★★ - Its rare for a remix to take the best part of the original and create an equally good tune. This remix does complete justice to the original!

Pussy, ass, n____a, motherfuckin, whore, bitch – these 6 words pretty much encompass 99.5% of all hip-hop lyrics these days. How can a genre of music be so devoid of any creativity whatsoever? How can the vocabulary of these artists be so limited?

Look I am very much a believer of I have no business telling rich people how to spend their money, but my goodness the cringe of the Ambanis is so sickening to watch. Like how much is truly enough for these motherfuckers? Its one thing to show off wealth, but its another to endlessly keep screaming I am rich! look at me! I am rich! Look at me! 24/7. I hope Anant and his life lead a miserable fucking life devoid of any joy or harmony. Just fuck off forever!
