At what point do democrats start panicking? doesn’t look like the polls have changed much at all and consistently show Trump doing well in every swing state that matters. This is just giving me 2020 vibe all over again.

A 3 day swim meet weekend is exhausting on everyone – the parents and the kids. I feel like I actually worked more this weekend at the meet than my regular job. I am so ready for this weekend already. 🥱😴

Every time I read something new about J K Rowling I become more and more disappointed with her. I am so fucking glad that my kid got over her and Harry Potter very quickly once her terrible positions came out. To be clear, my kid fell out of love with Harry Potter purely *because* of J. K. Rowling and her horrid stance against transgender folks.

Oh thank god! This show was utter crap. [‘Constellation’ Canceled By Apple After One Season](https://deadline.com/2024/05/constellation-canceled-apple-1235912022/)

Trying out a new Indian street food place that goes by name of CHA. Friends have recommended much and they have a “paan” milkshake and I am sold already.

Stupid fucking wretched rain. The one night we did not need it in dc area. No chance at northern lights!

Its a swim meet weekend, and she is swimming a friday event. Her warmups started at 3, while her first and only race starts at … 6pm. Yeah you read that right. I pre-decided we would get to warmups by 3.30 instead of 3 (i mean jesus why do warmups 3 hours early?!) – Luckily my workplace is 20 minutes away from her event so I left her there and came to badge in my third required day at work. The building is empty on a friday evening and even the security guard at entrance gave me a look of *Who the fuck comes to work office on a Friday at 4pm?*.

A desi messaged me via reddit chat a few days ago after he saw a post I had made in local communities asking for recommendations for a pet sitter. The original post was nearly 18 months old at this point. He messages me how he grew up in India, how he had dogs there and loved animals, how he really wants to do the same in the USA and how he would love for him to pet sit our dog and earn some money to pay for his college education. My guess is he’s here on a student visa or h1b and wants to do a side hustle to earn money. I reply back saying all that is great to hear and no we’ll keep him in mind, but can he share any sort of profile around himself – either on rover, or pet city or anywhere I can make sense of who this person is? I get an almost instant reply saying oh, he’s not on any platform except reddit.

I’m like motherfucker, you want me to trust you are even a real person and keep you in mind but you won’t do the most basic stuff that’s required of someone who apparently wants to be a pet sitter. I even checked his comments on reddit and he definitely is a local and is active in a lot of other communities, but also i am like, how fucking dumb are you.

Starts off well and becomes laughably comic by end.

Its weird to see Apple whose ads mostly focussed on showcasing how their products bought joy, fun or happiness to people using them, to turn around and make an ad thats just seems cocky and arrogant. Even worse, the CEO of the company thought *that* was the ad to highlight. I guess the slow decline of Apple is well and here now.
