Done and voted in primary today. Team Biden all the way. No performative protest vote nonsense from our side.

A spectacularly mounted sequel. Nobody imagines scale as Denis does. And that black & white shots just oof!

Testing out selective cross posting. Not that I plan to use it heavily.

I agree with latest cry that Sotomayor needs to resign. Her health issues are enough to give me a pause and we cannot risk yet another SCOTUS seat being lost because of someone’s fucking ego. Now is the time to resign so Biden can appoint a young healthy judge in her place.

Ok its been almost 4 weeks now, but Jon Stewart’s return has been largely unfunny. I think he’s determined that the best course of action for *him personally* is to keep the both sides narrative as strong as possible. I just think he’s afraid of his own safety.

The amount of world attention the Spanish rape case in India has gotten (& of course corresponding omg the country is the worst hot takes on twitter), it would be nice if the same kind of world attention was given to Indian students who are murdered with gun violence in the USA. Neither of them is right and just horrible, but only one of them gets the world attention, coz third world amirite?

Had a bad experience with my gastroenterologist this morning. I was following up as *he* requested I do if a certain number kept dropping so I did after my latest bloodwork. He then proceeded to be very condescending about how nothing is wrong with me and I don’t need to see him at all, and my numbers dont mean anything serious. He then told me *look I have no idea why your number is low, but i am not the doctor for it!*, and I am like dude, this much you could have told me before also. Why do the drama of telling me to come back if my numbers were low and then proceed to tell me he had no fucking idea why and I need to go elsewhere. Truly WTF! Never going back to him again.

Kudos to Biden for sending aid to Gaza but can you just stop arming what has become effectively a terrorist state? One good turn deserves another and nothing good is coming out of arming the other side!

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.

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.
