There we go again. Another flood watch. At this point the county should simply issue a flood watch every time it rains because it has rained so much already this year that any amount of rain is going to cause a flood!
One episode in and The Bear S4 feels….more of the same. I hope it gets better coz S3 was not good.
I generally dont say no to providing advice to new grads if they add me on LinkedIn randomly. Usually its about whether I am hiring, or a request to review the resume and help if I can suggest some improvements. Last week this one grad added me on LinkedIn; I was expecting similar ask – pls review etc. This grad immediately emails me “I want x role in your company, can we talk one-on-one next week; tell me availability and lets talk about how you can help me!”. I honestly was a bit taken aback. There was no hello, no introduction, no please or courtesy of my time. Just a 3 line almost cold cut email. I didn’t bother replying and unlinked this person immediately. Perhaps, this grad needs to take a few lessons in communication and humility before just cold calling people like this. Ugh.
📺 Long Way Home (2025) – ★★★☆☆

A few good episodes but overall didn’t have the charm of any of the previous seasons and it was obvious they were trying hard to find “unique” things in each country coz most of the ones they visited are already over touristy. The last two episodes were so hurried.
Back again in dc after a good July 4th weekend spent in Philadelphia. I really like Philly as a city!
Absolutely horrific news coming out of Texas. Just heartbreaking to hear about the young girls in the camp.
Beautiful weekend in Philadelphia in company of good friends, good food, good dogs and good weather! In these times of glum and depressing news all around us, more it matters to us to cherish moments and weekends like these.
I can’t wait to see how they will ship the discovery shuttle from Smithsonian to Houston because Ted Cruz thinks that’s the most important issue for Texas. The cheapness and pettiness is so appalling it’s depressing.
My heart goes out to the millions of innocent democrats who will bear the brunt of this bill. The Republicans who wanted this, thank you for the tax break I no doubt will get and I hope you rot in hell when you can’t afford your medications and you die alone in your house rotting waiting for someone to find out after maggots have eaten half of you. You voted for it – you should feel it.
Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are having some tournament! What a double by Gill again. I hope the bowling really steps up now for India.
