I still find it hard to believe that in 2008 Obama won Indiana, Iowa, Ohio and Florida, the 4 states that we give near zero chance of ever flipping blue again, especially Iowa and Indiana.

Politically these hurricanes couldn’t have come at a worse time for Harris/Biden and democrats could they? It’s almost like the entire universe is conspiring with Trump to bring him back to White House. You can do as much good as you want, but this is just a political goldmine for a douche like Trump to exploit.
Earth really needs to speed up its process to get rid of humans. Going too slow is my only complaint.
As a hiring manager with a req, my role has literally 100s of applicants in a week. You know the ones that actually moved ahead in the queue and I did NOT even read the resume? The ones I just asked the HR to advance them by giving them a name? **Referrals**.
One of Jeff Bezos’s famous words were on [data vs anecdotes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub585Pn4yro):
> when data and anecdotes disagree, the anecdotes are usually right.
Probably one of my favorite Bezos sayings that I do apply to everything a lot.
Been on 16 Pro max for a few days now and frankly I don’t see any difference from 13 or 14 versions of the same phone except it’s lighter. This was a completely skippable upgrade if we didnt already have plans for the 13.
Oh fucking hell the clouds are back again. I want a fucking drought. I am done with rain. I could not care less if every fucking tree dried out and DC area became a desert at this point, but please please please stop the fucking rain!
For once I want a democratic candidate to stop saying *America’s best days are ahead of us!*. No they are not. Not by a million miles. This is a society in rapid decline. And it’s going to take decades for America to just become… a normal society. America’s best days have gone by and it would be nice if they actually acknowledged it. I know they can’t coz hope-shope and positivity and all, but come on pretty much everyone knows this at this point. FWIW, I think America peaked at Clinton.
OMG The sun is out and my eyes are hurting coz I haven’t seen the sun in weeks!! Welcome back mood booster. I am nicely perched on the deck rest of the day soaking it in!
[Biden confronts the limits of his influence over Israel](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/02/biden-iran-israel-influence-limits-00182172)
> Biden deemed Israel’s response “over the top” and did stop one shipment of American arms to Israel. But even as pressure grew from fellow Democrats to create distance from Netanyahu, Biden’s reflexive instinct was to support Israel despite the swelling humanitarian crisis. As his influence over Netanyahu shrunk, the president’s anger grew. Phone calls between the two men were increasingly turned into shouting matches, according to one of the officials and one other senior official not authorized to discuss private conversations.** Biden told confidants that he did not believe his Israeli counterpart wanted a cease-fire deal, arguing that Netanyahu was trying to perpetuate the conflict to save his political future and assist Trump in November’s election, the officials said.**
So the leader of the most powerful country in the world is simply going to sit around and let a rogue terrorist country do whatever the fuck it wants and commit genocide day in and out, and his response not listening is just *ok*? No wonder American influence is totally weaning in the world and there is absolutely no reason for any country to take America seriously lol. Can’t even get a shitty pig like Netanyahu to behave.
