An old unused Govee water sensor went off randomly in the basement. I am impressed that the HomePod in the basement notified me on app that an alarm was sounding in basement. I was able to go down and hunt for this sensor amongst pile of useless things and throw it out. Obviously there was nothing happening in basement but now I feel better that the HomePod is useful in adding an additional layer of security - this sensor was not loud enough to hear from 1st floor but it was loud enough that HomePod caught it.
Welcome spring!
An ultra gorgeous spring day under way! Deck time is now open.
I don’t know what is so hard to believe in that NYTimes / Siena poll that Trump has massively gained with women. I actually think it’s probably realistic than not - if people are telling you who they are, believe them. Nothing about that poll is actually surprising to me right now.
Dune 2 has been booked!
The kid wrote a heartfelt letter to Taylor swift today asking her where can she find affordable tickets to her concert. She has asked me ti upload it and tag her on Instagram so she can hopefully see it. I plan to do it tomorrow 😆
Exhibit A: performative progressive leftist. These people are as terrible as right wing clowns. There is absolutely no making them happy.
Israel has become the very state it once fled from. I have zero fucks to give to government of Israel or people who support their government anymore. You have to be a special kind of terrible to be aware and know of your own history and what it does to you, to then turn around and subject someone else to the same kind of absolute nightmare and life that you once had to live through and experience. This is not even about your land anymore - this is just pure and unfettered torture that you have a sadistic joy in unleashing because you can. Just pathetic. Another country on my list I don’t ever want to visit in my life anymore.
Should’ve booked good seats for Dune 2 last week when I could. Now I can’t find a fucking good tix anywhere this weekend in the area. I was willing to even wait in line at airbus imax but that too is sold out!
Anand Ambani says - “as you all know my life hasn’t entirely been bed of roses” - dude you are the son of the 7th richest man in the world, but sure your life had a few less roses than your brother but jeez the level of disconnect the filthy rich people have with reality is just insane. (I am aware of his medical obesity issues) but it’s laughable to think he has had “ups and downs” in his life. Just sit this one out please.
Pretty confident that Willis will lose this. It will be infuriating but that’s the direction it will go. No law expert or knowledgeable but just gut. And with that will go Georgia down the drain lol.
Isn’t it amazing how quickly the courts wanted to hear about Fani Willis and her affair but how SCOTUS has no real urgency to debate about Trump immunity case. But sure, lets make sure that courts totally dissect someone’s private affair with a fine comb coz thats most important, amirite?
How many kids do the Ambanis actually have of marriageable age? Why does it feel like there is some sort of wedding festivity happening with Ambanis like every few months for the last few years? Does the 7th richest man in the world have nothing else to do? Has his life been reduced to a never ending rerun of Hum Aapke Hai Koun? What the fuck is going on?
Today’s wallpaper is Mr grumpy, to set the mood.
This is so weird? Why would I not say “restart”? Is the opposite of stop, “unstop”? Is this some kind of new age gen alpha lingo or something?
It’s been 30 years but dear non Indian people is Mundiyan tho Bach ke the only Indian song you’ve ever known or heard in your life?
Once I retire I want my dog’s life.
OMG A R Rahman please do not ruin this album after giving us a scintillating first track. Please! - ishq mitaye
3 episodes in, Constellation on Apple TV is an engrossing watch, though the repeated “Mamma!”, “Mamma!”, “Mamma!” is really beginning to grate the nerves. That said it is so unsettling at least the first 3 episodes.
In 2021 I blogged this at start of Biden presidency:
But more than anything else, its watching America erode in every way in the last 1 year, so quickly, so dramatically has been the most shocking part of it for me and something that is going to stay forever. I have never felt this hopeless about this country, and I dont think a Biden presidency or a democratic presidency is actually going to matter anymore. I think America has passed point of no return at this point, and the only thing left to see is how fast or slow the eventual decay happens. So yeah I am scared for my country and the country my kid is growing up. It was also that year when we wished citizenships came with 1 year return warranty.
Three years later I don’t feel any more different than I did. Purely out of self preservation mode, I will say this to all the green-card holders in this country, do NOT become a citizen of USA unless the country you came from is even more fucked, or your country offers dual citizenship. Things are about to get far worse here and its not on people of color, women (some) or immigrants to keep saving this country and pulling it away from brink of disaster. Heck I wish I had my green card and Indian citizenship so I had the security and the advantage of both countries right now.
