Looking at the abundance of Indian items you get at Costco these days, its only a matter of time before Costco launches an in-house Indian label called …. Kirana. Wait, did I just give away a business plan to Costco?
Thst Luigi guy was fucking rich and that’s what makes it even more awesome. I hope his family gets the best lawyers on earth and the jury acquits him of everything!
My golden retriever has become so lazy now that he won’t even get up to come by the door to greet me when I am home. He knows its me. He knows I will come cuddle him after I am back, so he’s figured out why must he waste his energy wagging his tail and acting cute when no matter what he’s going to get the cuddles? So he just sits there in middle of the room waiting for the hug. What a lazy fucking ass!
My post from yesterday originated from micro.blog but entirety of the conversation and engagement on this post happened outside of micro.blog platform entirely, and on Mastodon/BlueSky. Had I not cross-posted it, it would’ve been just another post on micro. It made me really think what am I getting out of Micro? Do I use Micro as some “source of truth” and it just gets cross-posted elsewhere for engagement, or do I really think that Micro is the place for both posting and engagement? I feel more and more its the former where a post originates out of here but Micro by itself just a database of posts and nothing more, but then I’d have hoped that Micro became one-stop place to share anything on any platform but it falls so short there (i mean, croissant anyone?). I guess this product will have an identity problem.
Over the holidays I want to see if I can try out ghost platform for hosting my existing wordpress blog, and ideally have one app that cross posts to my blog on ghost, masto and bluesky as required in a simple easy way and not as cumbersome as it is today here. If I can achieve that successfully, I might just cancel my account here and invest in a good paid cross-posting app. Ghost is definitely on top of mind for holidays!
Two sleepless mornings and I am a solid wreck today. The early morning swim meet has taken its toll. Waking up at 4, hours drive and then 4-5 hours of swim and unpredictable traffic back, I ready to call it a weekend already!
We started watching DARR last night because why not catchup on some 90s Bollywood super hits? I remember as a youngster liking this movie especially the music and SRK’s acting. Rewatching it again last night the movie now comes off so ridiculous and problematic on so many levels. The romanticization stalking behavior and justifying creep behavior in name of love? Wow it was so wrong in so many places and we all lapped it up. Hilarious parts was also random use of Top Gun’s OST while sunny deol does his nonsense theatrics.
Recently came to know “beta” is a mocking term used by a lot of non-Indian kids to mock and bully Indian kids in schools, especially middle schools, more prominently amongst boys. It’s all over here apparently and our kid knows it too but says it’s mostly boys. Beta is often also delivered in Indian accent.
I think its fair to assume the difference between the first and second test match between India and Australia is Rohit Sharma. Perhaps he should’ve just stayed back and let Bumrah keep the momentum going with the team.
The best part about all our neighbors is they leave us alone. The bad part is i still hate them all anyway.
In case you are wondering why I have so much to say this saturday morning, yes, I am at a swim meet and the kid has a gap of 3 hours between her first and second race, which means I have shit load of time to post things everywhere!
OK, I made a mistake reading a political piece this morning and getting triggered. Nope. I need to nope the fuck out. You know what, Virginia, you deserve who you elect. Back to regular programming of nonsense.
Abigail Spanberger is the front runner for democratic nomination for Virginia’s governors race it seems. HELL FUCKING NO. I do not want yet another woman to contest an election and lose for democrats. No. Do not fucking depend on white men and white women to show up for you, in particular the latter. Just fucking get a moderate white man and win please!
I hate planning trips. Because once I get into it, I get into it and I obsessively plan it out until I have all the bookings and tickets completed.
This reddit thread on smog in salt lake was illuminating. I did not know this affected a LOT of places in the rockies, including Denver and seems like this is normal at this point of the year.
