Can’t wait for white moms of Fairfax County to get hot and bothered again about their kids learning CRT again in 2025. Oh my fucking god, what a travesty! And even worse, protect trans kids. I can’t imagine the amount of stress and duress suburban white moms must be under today. Oh no!

I am usually as pessimistic as they come, but just some mid-data of over performance in northern Virginia and under performance in South-West Virginia & Shenandoah Valley is making heart feel a bit more warmer right now. Too early to call and still lot of time left, but boy that just looks like the best possible pattern democrats would hope for. Will it translate? Time will tell.
Let’s do this Virginia! Dear Indians of Loudon county, remember just by voting red your skin color won’t turn from brown to white as much as you believe so, so vote accordingly! Dear black people – keep saving us as you always do every election! Dear white people – this is your chance to elevate from pretty posters to actually making a difference. Vote!
The funny thing with AI companies like OpenAI making billions of dollars of investment – maybe even hundreds of billions at this point – you could have hired millions of people and they would have proven just as useful with real human intelligence. The whole idea was to cut costs no? 🤷
Last night A and I were talking about how we are reaching a point that our parents trips to USA are going to be very limited, and at most we have a handful trips more before they decide long distance travel is not for them anymore. Already a couple of our friends families in India who are older than our parents have made it clear to them that they are no longer going to visit USA. The distance and their age related ailments makes it hard for them to make the trek anymore and the only option is for them to visit India. I feel that’s coming for us soon and we are not ready for this mentally, even though we do visit India pretty often. This trip we’ve seen our parents age and it’s sobering. It’s just a reminder that we need to try to visit India more often than we already do, if only to spend more time with our parents.
This season of the Great British Bakeoff has been one of the most one sided Bake-offs in a while. It’s been clear from week 3 who is going into final and is the one to beat – there really is no competition to this person this season and the finale is going to be mostly academic in nature. (Not sure if finale is already aired in UK, if so don’t spoil it!)
Done and done! Virginia, let’s do this! Also saw surprising number of white women with republican sample ballot – without a shadow of doubt this is the worst bloc of voters who consistently will vote against their own good. Shame on them! But others good on you if you had a blue ballot sample!
If Spanberger wins Va on Tuesday and Miyares also wins as the AG for split ticket then it’s proof enough that democrats are absolutely dumber than a bag of rocks. And it spells really really bad for the party going ahead. If Jay Jones loses next Tue there is zero chance of a functioning government and much worse an indication that white people will not vote a black person. Right now it looks likely that VA maybe a split ticket this year. Idiots will deserve it.
The kid’s high school is only 20 min walk away through a residential neighborhood. Yes when she wanted to walk back home today we to ensure that she was not going to walk alone by herself (even in broad daylight), walked with a friend we knew from our community (or, in other words, preferably a white friend though we didn’t say that to her) and walk through main roads where there is traffic. I hope all you economic anxiety nazi morons are happy about this.
I am interviewing for multiple roles within my team and I have been doing phone screens galore, and it’s not lost on me how many of these people have been laid off and are looking for work. My heart breaks when I have to reject them because I know that they would never get past interview loop because they did not do well in phone screen. And I cannot consciously move these folks over just because I feel bad for them. This job market is just brutal and I wish it upon no-one including myself 🙁
