kamala doing good in texas rn. dont know how it s going to be esp in terms of swing states n voters. but she is doing alright, much better than how she used to be (when toching on topics which are nt her forte etc she is sounding alright and lucid. )

oh well, god bless

wished Biden exited as loud and cocky as he was in 2000s. problem is dems tops dont make , raise acolytes. sort of. so you have to keep worshipping eldering figures like canonical saints, unthinkingly.

hope kamala keeps the Biden vibe on unions and workers, middle class (and below) .

also this election is lost, period, thus usa will be no more (well, secession option is still available … ) and europe has to come up with spine and so on.

20 years old kid. ofc knows nothing yet. what a world we came to have.

melanias statement after shooting only sounds like product of generative AI, or something been prepared for years in case shit hits for real. weird. i dont think such ‘love’ talking discourse style exists in US.

most likely AI it sounds.

allowing ppl to throw around veneers. allowing to be more fake.

jesus tumblr only looking like matt mullenweg is actually paid by elon musk

jacob rees mogg down, hurray! wish i could celebrate this with jdp but hey

doesnt mean UK will grow better grips on all those thony problems they got, nope, new labour - sadiq khan been doing london mayor for long yrs now, getting labour govt, would that change things - drastically for better?

all these kids lives lost (to knifing etc, past 20 yrs or so), all numerous crimes and - pretense, vanity, masks, disguises

educated, career-oriented/bound brits, would they change (themselves)?

Figured

Frying potato for starch/carb as staple diet is much efficient and easier than depending on rice (Basmati or Thai or California/Japanese)

easier = lazier = rational

if you have a real working vent. Without it, keep frying things is a very quick pathway towards disaster. So do not do it.

*I can’t yet degrade myself down to keep eating (store bought) sliced breads in plastic bags can be my main staple carb source. no, I still cannot do that.

Is it Sam Smith or Sam Harris

#also my brain goes like Taylor Tayler #No White Taylor #No I mean Taylor White #No I meant Taylor Swift

And yes, in the same interview article, Emeli Sandé talks how Naughty Boy sought her after to make songs together - and that was the first catapult she got to sign up with major music labels.

Growing up in a council estate in Watford, on the far outer boundaries of north London, music was always on Shah Khan’s mind, but also far from realistic. His dad was a taxi driver, his mum a housewife, and money was tight. “I didn’t grow up with any kind of music lessons, which is what I wanted. You’ve got to pay for these things. And the school I was in, music wasn’t the main focus; there probably wasn’t the budget. So it really had to come from within, this urgency.”

Were his family sceptical about his aspirations? “In the early stages they were. I’m the youngest. I was the guy that was always borrowing a fiver, who always needed petrol money. So I don’t blame them in some respects. I grew up in a Muslim house, and there’s a sense of expectancy. Especially in the Pakistani community in Watford... ’Cause our parents want us to be the best we can be. They’ve come here as immigrants, so they don’t want us just to do as well as them – they want us to do more. And sometimes that actually turns into them wanting to be like them, without even realising it.”

Khan had that “urgency” to follow his own path. So he took part in Channel 4’s Deal or No Deal.

“I just thought: ‘I have to think out of the box. If what I want to do is ridiculous, then to get there I’m going to have to do something equally ridiculous. And a game show was that. But I didn’t know I was gonna win £44,000!” he hoots.

He used the money to set up a studio in his parents’ garden shed, and to fly unknown Scottish singers down from Glasgow. “Winning the show actually gave me the confidence to think, ‘I can do anything’.”

I was wondering about it - but like yeah sure that happens❗️
