Insipid

They really went overboard with with Susie's mother in Rugrats. She's a Harvard-educated doctor who also studied as at the Cordon Bleu, is a talented pianist, makes lamps, knows how to fly planes, and somehow finds time to be a dedicated wife and mother . . . and with all these talents, they made her Tommy's neighbor. I'm sure a woman like her would have a mansion with maids and shit.

And then she'd have the incumbency advantage @Belize kept mentioning.

Seriously, he's not the first candidate to survive an assassination attempt . . . but Biden withdrew closer to election time than any other president in the entire history of this country. Oh no, the spotlight is no longer on Trump's situation anymore.

They tried to make the Zodiac Killer, who was born in Canada, a presidential candidate. Not very bright people. 🤷‍♂️

I'm making chicken biryani and for the first time, raita. I bought this chili powder from the Indian store that said extra hot . . . let's just see how this goes. I wonder just how horrible my kitchen smells to people, considering that I cook a wide variety of cuisines that have pungent smells. Masala from Indian, soy sauce from Chinese and Japanese, fish sauce from Thai, oregano from Italian, etc.

Even if Democrats lose, this sets a precedent: willingly stepping down from power due to old age. Hell, they can now use George Washington quotes on this matter of transferring power. I have a smidgen of optimism again.

I remember JD Vance's wife's speech. She mentioned how she was Indian, as a way to show her husband's open-mindedness. Now Kamala can be like, I am a black Desi woman about to become president. Bitch, sit your ass down and stay there for the rest of time.

Whoa. 💀

He dropped out on a full moon 😱 Jesus is coming, or something.

I believe this here is called "copium" these days. "Pokemon go to the polls." 🙄

Most Aldi products are of an OK quality, but the spaghetti noodles are exceptionally subpar.

Biden needs to withdraw. He seems frail. I know quite a few white working class people here in Pittsburgh who voted for Trump in 2016 but changed to Biden in 2020. These are the swing voters that ultimately decide the entire election. As it stands now, I see them voting for Trump again. Democrats could try an aggressive smear campaign with Josh Shapiro. He was involved with prosecuting the Catholic Church sex scandal, and Trump has ties to Epstein. It may just work.

Hiragana is derived from Chinese characters written in cursive. Letters that weren't accepted into hiragana have a peculiar name: hentaigana.

"They don't really care what he says, just that he's the one saying it."

Beats me, scoob. She looks like she'd rather be anywhere else.

Loosely from a Borat 2 quote, the mail order bride from shithole country Slovenia has finally made an appearance.

It's theatrics and you know this. The GOP is not gonna stop being the shameless party of corporate welfare queens. Also: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/17/technology/jd-vance-tech-silicon-valley.html

I'm losing brain cells watching the RNC but I just saw something that made it worth it: They zoomed into Donald Trump Jr.'s kids during his own speech. His daughter was on her phone and his son let out a huge yawn.

I made these burgers from Aldi. 24 quarter pound patties for 15 dollars. Pretty damn good price. I also might have drank a little too much. 🙃

It's fine. I probably should give up one or the other . . . probably the potatoes. Rice is my favorite. Anyway, no digestive issues for me, but I know this probably is a glycemic overload.

My food actually looks photogenic today but my table is so hideous. Slow cooked pork wirh sauerkraut, green beans, mashed potatoes, and rice.

So Trump is supposedly going after the big corporations now. Amazing how many of his supporters won't see the easily verifiable irony . . . or rather, blatant hypocrisy 🙄

Leftover biryani with palak paneer. Not gonna lie, even though it was tasty af, it looks like a Packard abomination 😭

It's not. Results from my kindle search.

I have his book, Hillbilly Elegy, that I never got around to reading. I guess it's time to see what he's about. I never thought he'd be Trump's runing mate one day.
