It’s gray and it’s sunny, on and off, and apparently we’re heading into a heat index around 100 F (38 C) with hail and thunderstorms and tornados and all those fun things.
Fun fun fun.
Construction noise continues, and today it is floor-rattling, wall-vibrating. So that’s awesome.
There are primaries today, and if you haven’t yet voted, go vote and don’t vote for people with nazi tattoos. That seems like a really weird thing to have to type aloud. And yet we have to say it. Don’t vote for candidates with problematic histories and problematic presents. That already happened once in the Senate and now that one is “considering” “becoming” a republican.
Who even ARE these people? Do we stop to ask?
A friend had to tell me Spencer Pratt was running to be the mayor of Los Angeles. With Real World bigot (if you saw the season, you know, and that is my opinion of his character under the sagging First Amendment) Sean Duffy as a member of the cabinet, it seems like appearing on television in a highly orchestrated version of reality is now a qualification for politics.
What a world.
As if Idiocracy didn’t go far enough. It did kind of get the wrestling thing down though.
This whole idea that politicians need to be someone you’d have a beer with has created this bizarre reality where the worst of people are choosing the worst of people as the people whose company they would enjoy. What a self-destroying human quirk.
Politicians should be all the things they try to tell us are bad: reasonable; intelligent; knowledgeable, particularly about the law and the Constitution; creative at problem-solving; ready to rattle off numbers about issues that sound like minutiae at a moment’s notice and thus not great to have a beer with and probably too busy for it anyway.
They should not have their own campaign manager decrying “gaslighting” and begging you not to vote for them.
How is this even reality?
Why is that man running as a Democrat? Who put him up to it? What is he there for?
Anyway, there’s only so much imploring a single post can hold, so I am going to call it a day and wish you an awesome Tuesday. If you vote today, vote mindfully and carefully. The future depends upon it.
