Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sisters are doing it for themselves.

And indeed to themselves.

I'm very happy with the Kamala Harris pick. She was definitely one of my favourites during the primaries. Politically speaking I think she's a smaller target than either Rice or Warren.

Incidentally, I just finished a work meeting with external consultants. One suggested that you could well see President Harris before 2024. (I think such concerns about Biden's stamina and/or health are overblown, but there you go.)

I still think Trump is likely to win.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Things were extra exciting for a few minutes yesterday afternoon. [link] I could hear the classic freight train sound of the Rogers Park one (#7).

and Woohoo! Kamala!

One of the good things about her is that a lot of the attacks on her were already launched during her presidential campaign, so they will have less steam.

Our wings are not tired.

I have to dig out my nasty woman t-shirt.

I still think Trump is likely to win.

I disagree. Every single day he does things that cost him votes, but nothing to gain votes. There are his hard core, but he has lost a lot of seniors, all the youth, and many of the women. Of course voter suppression and fraud remain a real concern. If people vote, which is always a challenge, then he really doesn't have enough support to get enough states.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This morning, I've already heard a Republican strategist (I guess?) talking about how she was so liberal as a prosecutor, which seems like really the wrong line of attack, since there's a decent-sized criticism from the left about her record there... But really I think people will remember pretty quickly that the VP doesn't actually matter that much.

With the way things tighten up as the election gets closer and a likely DOJ investigation of Biden coming up and voter suppression efforts, I think things will be close enough that it come down to slim margins in a few states and the election will be decided in the courts and that will favor Trump. I don't think he has a chance of getting more votes, though.

Huh, I told Facebook I wasn't interesting in talking with them because I didn't have any interest in relocating, but they came back saying 100% remote is a possibility. Not sure how I feel about pursuing that.

Things are so weird now job market wise. Recruiters will contact me about a job, I'll say I'll be happy to find out more and then I'll never hear from them again.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Next call with the contract company about moving to full-time is in 15 minutes. Everybody -ma me.
