Zuck vs Musk

 Well, here it is Friday and it hasn't stopped raining.  Well, not completely.  I guess if I were describe it, I'd say we were showery with occasional periods of steady rain.  It was so steady this morning Lily didn't want to go out.  Sooner or later her bladder will force her out into the rain.  I have a towel ready.  Honestly, she loves being dried off, so I'm surprised she's not going out more often.

Lets hope today is more productive than yesterday.  Not that yesterday was a waste, it just seemed as though every hour or so I felt the need to take a quick catnap.  I'm blaming it on the rain, the dizzles never seemed to let up.  It's not that I didn't get anything accomplished, I did:  a 52 minute dumbbell workout, and a fast walk on the treadmill.  However, the afternoon bike ride didn't happen.

As everyone knows by now, the little submersible imploded explosively.  Not everyone is sad.  A number of news outlets are reporting on the lack of sympathy many are directing towards these very wealthy individuals.  Some are calling it schadenfreude (enjoying the misfortune of others).  I don't doubt part of it is that the extremely wealthy are not well liked, and they really don't care if you like them or not.  The vast majority of humans on this planet are not even blips on their radar, so when something bad happens to five of them no one really feels sorry for them.

And speaking of the uber wealthy, I understand the cage match is going to take place.  What cage match, you ask, scratching you head.  The one between Zuck and Musk!  Evidently there are some really hard feelings between the two of them.  If I were a gambling man, and I'm not, I'd probably put my money on the skinny ginger rather than the bloated South African.

And, of course, the House of Representatives continues to unravel.  Really, everything those cultists are doing now is geared to trying to maintain a hold on their base voters.  Now they're trying to expunge the two impeachments against the Orange Anus.  This is what you would expect from a cult.  The small percentage of voters they are trying to please will never get them the presidency.  They did poorly in the last election, and they'll do even worse in the next one.  For them to understand that, would mean they understood the American people.  That's something that will never happen.  Which is why the party is dying.

Underwater

Well, the first day of Summer has arrived and the temps here in Central PA are predicted to stay in the mid to upper 70s (C).  Do not think this means that the rest of the season is going to be cool and comfortable.  We also seem to have a bit of rain in the forecast, again, this medium range prediction is unreliable.  There is a reason we call July and August the dog days of summer.

If you don't believe me, take a gander at Texas where they're having a mini-heatwave.  I feel sorry for those people.  Many of them are conservatives and as such believe climate change is a bit of fluffy fiction liberals have whipped up like a lite souffle.  Remember, conservatives will never admit they're wrong, even on the hottest and driest of days.

For those of you in need of a little shirtless Aaron Taylor Johnson, he's got a new movie coming out this fall.  I do suspect that some of you, however, will skip it because it's a Marvel movie.  Yep, Aaron's going to be a shirtless super hero. 

The mini-sub drama continues.  A Canadian search and rescue plane picked up sounds under water that might be someone hitting something with a hammer.  I find it interesting that a plane, up in the air, can pick up sounds originating underwater.  If Canadians can do that, I'm certain the US has the same capabilities, as do the Chinese, though maybe not the Russians, their war with the Ukraine has proven they're basically a 3rd world country with a leader who thinks himself savvy.

Evidently Lauren Boebert had initiated articles of impeachment against Biden in the House which will require a floor vote.  It will end up being tabled because most members realize that her White Trash approach to authoritarianism is nothing more than MAGA cult grandstanding.  So far, McCarthy has remained silent.  Even he know this will hurt the party.  As for Boebert?  I don't doubt she believes this will offset all of the bad press she's been garnering lately in regard to her impending divorce, and her finances (or supposedly lack there of), and her dating a rather unattractive Evangelical minister.
