If USA was at war I can guarantee you half or more of this country would have a meltdown if two women generals were spearheading the operations and did all the media interviews.
The blood of whatever is happening is squarely on Kashmiris as far as I am concerned. What a cursed land.
Remember my previous trumpkin boss that I have written about multiple times in past? He retired. Out of the blue. Out. So much for ‘retire’. Anyway, I am happy karma caught up with him, eventually and finally. Maybe perhaps way too late than it should have, but still happy it did. I guess he can join the current administration now.
My extended family WhatsApp group has devolved into extreme jingoistic crap last few days since the India-Pakistan conflict started. People making crap jokes about how “India’s batting will destroy Pakistan’s bowling” in the skies and BS. Like they don’t even seem to have basic empathy right now, and even worse one of the youngest brother-in-law who is in the group is actually an air force pilot who’s been called on the line while his wife (my cousin) is about to have a kid literally in 2 weeks. Like some of my relatives are now so completely brain-dead and brain-washed out that they can’t even pull their heads out of shit-pile they are in read the room. Infuriated.
So they elected a right wing pope also? Good luck to all.
One of the most refreshing parts about this role change is my white manager who is an outspoken hater of the current party in white house and makes no bones about it publicly. He is upto date on project 25 and is super politically in the know at all times. Its so refreshing personally for me as a brown man because it feels less stressful and refreshing. Compared to my old boss who was a Trumpkin and it felt like walking on eggshells at all times with him.
Personally I was vested in The Last of Us only because of Joel/Pedro Pascal. I actually find Ellie/Bella Ramsey extremely annoying. After episode 2, I decided to go ahead and read the entire plot of Last of Us 2 on Wikipedia and now I don’t have to wait week after week to figure out what happens next. And I am glad I read the whole plot.
If everything went according to plan, India probably hit some 9 obscure sites in Pakistan claiming terrorist camps. Pakistan government also realizes they lost some civilians too. Both sides will shake hands and now retreat for a few more years. Like it’s good both have nukes so neither side actually has any balls to do anything more and maybe that’s actually ok.
Its raining outside, and I can’t get enough of this track today. In particular I love this song on headphones; something about the sound mixing of this song is really immersive!
Its fucking may and people are still falling sick all over the place in this area. Like Jesus, can Americans go a few months without getting sick for once. Feels like a fucking plague all around.
