George Washington is rolling in his grave

1776


The Dems have a line up that the GOP can’t match.

In addition to Harris and Waltz, if the Clintons and the Obamas and some of the other high profile Dems and entertainment types can stay on point with the message for 75 days they can realistically win this thing.


I canceled my Facebooks account over 10 years ago and Instagram shortly thereafter. But taking the path of lesser evil, I opened a threads account to finally get away from Twitter. Many of the last few that I follow on Twitter are now on Threads (& not on Mastodon or MB).


I call BS on everything Vance is saying, he talks like Kamala was president. He says it was all her policies


It’s still sad that a Taxes judge can block something across the country

Texas judge blocks the FTC from enforcing its ban on noncompete agreements


Fair game clubs don’t win trophies

Tottenham named England’s best-run men’s football club in Fair Game Index


Storms are lining up. One of them is a Hurricane. I can only assume at least one will come close.


We really miss Pier 1 Imports. Most our home decor, dishes, rugs and other small things came from that store. It was so nice walking into a physical store. The store was a pleasant place to hang out. The Kona store was doing well.


Mind experiment. Since homeowner and condo insurance is getting more out of reach and even unattainable some cases, do we just build cheap disposable homes that we can just walk away from.

We just pay for liability and possession insurance. The $ we save goes towards the next home.


The one match on USA that can’t be watched unless you have cable. #NBCFAIL


Opted to nott go to Hilo to check out the IVF Workd Sprints. The 2 hour drive to & fro didn’t sound appealing. Rainy day in Kona. Great day for a walk, not so for the beach.


We really need a blue wave this fall. Not only Kamala, but down the ticket too. Make the Christian nationalist congressman irrelevant



I was raised a conservative. As an adult I stayed on that path for a couple of decades. Growing up in Hawaii I’ve always been an environmentalist and a supporter of diversity. Since about 2000 I’ve been leaning more left. I think I have officially gone from leaning to having fallen left.


Time to get a different Sous vide

Anova will charge customers to use its sous vide app, because everything must be a subscription


My Sonos app doesn’t recognize the currently active speaker. It sucks

Sonos CEO says the old app can’t be rereleased


Just watched The Union on Netflix. Seems like they’ve set it up for a follow up. But we know from experience to only hope, but not expect


The IVF World Sprints are in Hilo this week. The Olympics of outrigger canoe sprint racing.

This HAMAS hostage stand off vaguely reminds me of the Iran Hostage standoff in 1979. I know there’s a lot of differences, but the Iranians didn’t like Pres Carter and didn’t release the hostages until Reagan’s inauguration. Wonder if HAMAS is waiting for the election. More likely just better terms


I remember when Mid-Pacific airlines came and went, then Mahalo Air. Aloha Airline went under, then Southwest came into the market. Alaska has been here a while, not an inter-island carrier, locals love them to get to the mainland. This purchase should be good for Hawaii.
