Thank god crowdstrike isn't making me go into the office, just had to send a message instead of actually clocking in

 

I don’t know what a crowdstrike is

 

No internet today.

I won’t be catching up on progress notes.

 

hardcore band from either New York or DC

 

Security software. It's like antivirus but on steroids. Uses machine learning to target issues, and can either alert or block accordingly.

 

Does she have massive bets or something? Why not? Maybe she just wants the Democratic party and country to burn...

 

Oh she’s gotta have that “if I can’t have it, no one can” mentality. She was SO locked in to winning in 2016. She’s gotta be the epitome of bitter now

 

Man I got excited when I got a text from work that all Microsoft services were down worldwide. Seems fixed now. Was hoping for a day off lol

 

She makes some of the same points that I worry about (the old people support, union support, polls being screwy) but I still think the risk is worth it. And it def seems like she’s hearing some of the things we’ve heard about an open convention which would be a chaotic disaster.

 

Who are some of the leading VP contenders?

 

I saw an article yesterday that the three being considered are Roy Cooper, Andy Beshear, and Mark Kelly

of course I take any news about this with a grain of salt with how quickly things change

 

Okay totally unrelated to absolutely everything politics but I forgot about it a few weeks ago and just saw a famous person’s IG post that reminded me, because it had the caption “taking the digi cam to the club” or something like that. So yeah we were out at the bars at the beach a few weeks back and groups of GenZers were indeed pulling out digital cameras and taking group pictures and selfies and etc, flash and all, like it was 2009. Millennial culture isn’t your costume!

 

Every white male dem with a pulse

 

Oh hey, even though I can log in at work, the Microsoft issue is preventing us from being able to deploy any of our code hah

 

Can someone give him a B12 shot so he can think a little faster?

 

I still think it would be unequivocally the right choice to kick him off the ticket even if Trump wins but now I am really thinking about what happens if Trump beats not-Biden and mannnn lol. I don't want Trump to be president but it really seems like that's a path (maybe the only one??) for serious drastic change in the Dem party although who knows which way it goes

 

We all know which way it goes: the Dems blame the left wing of the party for "forcing them" to remove Biden from the ticket and trend further right.

 

I do everyday. My husbands band covers a few ha

 

Well, that's the thing though. In terms of within the party, it hasn't been the left wing doing it at all. And as frustrating as it's been to watch Bernie and Ilhan and AOC back Biden, or at least refuse to do the opposite, in this potentiallity I think that puts them in a good position to take advantage for exactly this reason. They'll still try to blame them obviously but I think it'd be an opening
