Seattle is so uppity

I feel really really bad for Israel but I find it hard to empathize too much also. The outcome of this is only thing – Israel will completely annihilate Palestinian people and whatever remains of their identity. Terrorism is never ever an answer to anything but their continuous persecution of Palestinians for decadeses does not help not either. Truly sad situation all around.

OMG2 tackles a bold subject of masturbation and sex education in schools and really loved the progressive take of the movie but why did it have to be so hammy. Plus pankaj mishra’s over acting ruins what could have been a great movie. Still surprised by how bold it was for Indian standards.

Is it just me or Lyft as a company seems to have just died? I remember it being a fierce competitor to Uber a few years ago but now it’s nowhere to be seen. Even in major cities likee here the wait time is well over 10 minutes on an average which is ridiculous.

India has made a match out of this Australia match and I am here for it. Well done Australia, but wish the total was a bit higher. Thst said I still think India should pull through if they keep their existing wickets.

*Khufiya* was quite lame. Starts of well and just becomes a chore in second half. Vishal Bharadwaj is well past his prime at this point and it shows.

The last two weeks have been tough and draining, but I am also glad that we’ve all pulled through and have been available for our friends nonstop and been with them most of the times we could spend.

The kid has successfully turned me into a swiftie. Now we both sing along in car drives!

My prediction is that in a decade or less manual point & shoot or SLR cameras are going to come back in fashion because those will be the only cameras left that capture any sense of reality. Practically everything else will be fake, AI fixed and adjusted and completely unauthentic.

One of the annoying things about these home renovation projects is the contractor timelines. Its been almost a month since our kitchen renovation has started, and the contractors must have put in a total of 8-10 days work maximum. Rest of the time is either waiting on the county to come do an inspection or waiting on architect to verify his calculations on support beams. The thing is, when they *do* work, they are super optimized about it. If they want to, they can finish the entire kitchen within a week guaranteed. I keep telling the contractor, like just send 10 people over from your team for a week and get this over with! You get a full lump sum payment from me, I am happy, you are happy, job’s done and you can move to next. But no, this has to turn into an elongated multi month process just because. And its not just them, this is literally any home contractors now. Like surely you’d have figured this out? Or maybe they do and I dont know why this elongated schedule exists.
