UGLY MAGA MISOGYNY AND THE SEXUALIZATION OF KAMALA HARRIS
The vicious attacks based on sex have begun.
It’s been fewer than 24 hours since Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Yet already, the MAGA slime machine is kicking into overdrive.
MAGA ugliness is real. No surprise, because this is an ugly political movement littered with ugly people.

PRESIDENT BIDEN DROPS OUT
After a very bad month, this is a very good day.
Here’s a short list of thoughts off the top of my head, for now.

Some years ago, if you’d told me I’d change my preferences and habits to this extreme, I’d have said you were crazy. But indeed–I have changed my preferences and habits, and I suspect so too have many of you.
There are lots of things we used to do with some frequency that we simply don’t do anymore, or — we now do them far less often. Many of these things were once pillars of our identity. Now, they’re no longer (as) important.
I don’t share this with any sense of pride, nor do I believe I’m better for the omission. In fact, in each of the examples here, I’m losing something by not doing these same things. However, I also can’t force myself to go back to the way life was before.
Feel free to comment and share. Am I alone in my changing habits and preferences?

Social media is polluted with all kinds of gibberish right now in the aftermath of the shooting.
Donald Trump is being hailed a divine leader by millions of followers. Many elected Republicans are also embracing the God theory. Some say the failed assassination attempt proves he’s protected by higher power. Many Republicans, MAGA-maniacs, and evangelicals believe God intervened and altered the trajectory of a deadly bullet, which missed the former president’s head by millimeters. Trump’s guardian angel made the save! It was a miracle! (* see footnote below)
Divine intervention? A miracle? Really?

I’ve waited a couple of days since the attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump before making any public comments. First, I wanted to learn more, which is kinda’ important before leaping to conclusions. Next, I hoped to ponder the facts as they’re known before sharing my public opinion based on incomplete information, or worse, spreading outright falsehoods.

I woke up this Saturday morning and learned Dr. Ruth Westheimer died at age 96. She was best known as a sex therapist who hosted a popular radio show, when in fact, she was so much more than that.

Are you “food adventurous?”
This simple question came up yesterday in my dinner conversation with the lovely Marieta at Zaytoon, a casual Iranian restaurant we enjoy quite often that’s less than a mile from home.
