A part of me is like who the fuck are democrats fighting for? If the majority of the people that the healthcare subsidies expiration are republicans or from red states, fuck them. Let them pay more. Why take away livelihood of a DC federal worker to protect an asshole who doesn’t mind paying more to make America great! Not like they gonna remember who fought for them next election anyway.

My brother went to Techno Garba tonight and shared videos and all I see is cognitive decline of human intelligence. What absolute nonsense.
The whole TikTok saga will go down as one of the most incredulously self-own by the democrats in a long time. First they went after the wrong problem, then forced TikTok for sale only for Trump to come in and get the sale done for his buddies who have promised to make it into a right wing propaganda machine. What the heck did you achieve Biden? All this for what? What a fucking self-own this that will hurt them so much over time. Idiots.
My kid has been struggling with math in high school. She is refusing help and she is not strategizing how to get around this problem, and that’s driving us up the wall (well mostly her mom more than me), leading to lots of fights between us and the kid lately. Her mom was definitely more accomplished academically so she takes this far more seriously while I have to keep reminding her I nearly failed my 12th grade, took a long time to find myself even in engineering days (and yeah math/mechanics was my nemesis back then) and finally turned it around in grad days. But of course I don’t say all of this to my kid lest she gets similar ideas that it’s ok to emulate her dad lol, so I join forces with mom and go after her knowing fully well that she will probably turn out ok just like us – except maybe hate us along the way. The joys of parenting!
Kal Hamara Hai (Tomorrow is ours) poem by Shailendra, was used beautifully in Dhadak 2. Everything leading up to this rendition makes it all the more powerful when it happens. Not gonna translate this because its effing hard to to do so.
How the fuck does high school yearbook cost 75$? This is insane – and that is without any added customizations, text or otherwise.
I really want to watch One Battle After Another.
A very active weekend once again with friends from Philly over. The doggos had way too much fun as usual.
That was a much closer match than it should have been really.
🍿 Dhadak 2 (2025) – ★★★★☆
Calling a sequel to original dhadak was such a crime. This is a very gritty coming of age story of a dalit man and a privileged woman. Much parallels to today’s times as well. And yes this dark side of India does exist. Highly recommended even though dark and grim.
