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 - ★★★☆☆

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!

Biden gave a decent interview last night but again did not take the bone when offered. I gave it my best shot and did everything was such a lame answer for an election of this magnitude. This was such a chance to forcefully say this was about saving democracy and he is in it till the end. Instead what we got was as long as I did my best all is well. Does not inspire any confidence and makes it feel like he himself has given up at this point.

Almost at end of S3 of The Bear and can’t help feeling the season is overlong by 2-3 episodes and a couple of episodes simply forced into the narrative. If there is a S4, it hopefully is the last.

In a way Trump was right about the media from day 1. Crooked media as he called it, and I hope that democrats take the same approach as republicans and Trump did when dealing with media. He was 100% correct about CNN and MSNBC and all the other networks on “unfair” treatment. I mean just look at the way they are going for Biden’s neck. If anything Trump just proved his point without having to do anything at all. Even if Biden is replaced, there is no section of voters who will now trust anything about anyone coming from these networks and it’s a net gain for him more than anything else. Well done 👏

So if I get this right, Butterfly social network is about a self-fulfilling AI network? Like I create an avatar of myself and let loose - and then it posts random stuff on random days, other AI avatars interact with it randomly, with zero input or engagement from my side. WTF is this? This is both simultaneously hilarious and terrifyingly creepy.

Only the most lowly low of people take up journalism as a career. Its not a surprise that the state of mainstream media is so pathetic and everyone hates them. They really are the deplorable ones.
