Why I care about the Virginia Elections is it matters not only for my state, but what would actually happen in next year’s Presidential elections. In summary in Fairfax County, the GOP failed to overtake the Dem Primary as two of the three progressives win and likely win in the general. The upset is Chap Petersen lost to Saddam Salim. That race might be enough to hold the State Senate for the Dems. We will see the turnout as Youngkin will spend a boatload to get his agenda past #VAelections

It actually happened and hell has frozen over: The Orioles and Nationals reach an agreement on MASN payments. #cososports

If you reside in Virginia, the Virginia Primary Elections are today. I did my duty. You have 4.5 hours left.

Happy Belated Father’s Day and Happy Juneteenth. It’s interesting I went to church yesterday and the priest does the parting words of Father’s Day, then mention the office will be closed tomorrow (today) for a federal holiday. No mention of Juneteenth and that felt awkward. Don’t say it’s a federal holiday. Mention why the holiday exist.

Damn, 37 counts on Trump of giving away secrets to others. I guess why it took so long to charge him. It’s a huge mess.

Yesterday was 313. Today…

I had no idea 20 years ago, DC had numerous Code Red days. Thanks to government regulation on cars and urban planning, you don’t see much smog in the area (until this week) https://ggwash.org/view/89899/twenty-years-ago-it-was-common-to-have-20-code-red-air-quality-days-per-summer

The cause of the Quebec wildfires that is pushing the smoke in the Eastern US? ⚡️ https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/06/08/canada-wildfire-smoke-air-quality-updates/#link-Z2MQQPQFLFDRJMDP6RBRWK5LUA

I should of known this started the downfall of CNN. https://youtu.be/nzGkOQSexxc

Supreme Court rules in favor of black voters in the Alabama case. That should be celebrated and voting rights isn’t dead yet.

However, for the Student Loan case it goes against it, people will be up in arms. Enjoy it now, because the anger will come soon.

Yeah…

For those who mocked people of wearing masks in public, how about now?

DC is in a haze. I had to cancel my event tonight because it’s a decent walk to the Metro and it’s uncomfortable. I might go tomorrow afternoon, but that’s iffy but a colleague of mine is here this week for a conference. Now people should care about climate change.

Bigots are boycotting Target for Pride merchandise. Are they going to do the same at Walmart? This is at my local Walmart store

So PGA Tour and LIV merge and there is peace. Speaking of the Saudis…#cososports

I checked out #WWDC and a couple things:

1) I’m buying a suit up 15” MacBook Air to be my main computer for a long time.

2) The Vision Pro actually looks sick and, IMO, the $3500 actually might be justified. Need to know more about the battery. That might make it complicated, but I could see this as a benefit and can join you guys in the VR room next year.

Well, I had a busy few weeks. I’m officially laid off, I have a bubble that is 100 microns away from my eye, and finishing up all the file transfers and such. So, who has a recruiting job for me?

Whatever happened to editors or a research staff to do this work? https://www.jta.org/2023/05/24/united-states/the-florida-mom-who-got-amanda-gormans-poem-restricted-says-shes-sorry-for-promoting-the-protocols-of-the-elders-of-zion
