RantWoman just spent a day out in the SUN in Seattle.
The temperature is well above the threshold where locals start to moan piteously about the heat while people who hail from more consistently warm climes start to think things are gjust right. Most of all it is far too early for every blade of grass to be as dry as it was for a local #Juneteenth festival.
Like most of the US keyboard wranglers on the internet, RantWoman HAS THINGS TO SAY about the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the state of the US and the world as of today.
Today's eruptions:
1. is it ever unpatriotic to root for the algae?
2. The RantWoman Department of First World Problems refuses to opine about world news until the NY Times GIVES HER THE DANG CROSSWORD PUZZLE. The opportunity to complain choked about some aspect of Android accessibility but yielded a boilerplate spam about a whole bunch of things that might be wrong due to them making articles about the Middle East Peace deal gift links for literally everyone. And RantWoman STILL does not have today's crossword puzzle.
3. RantWoman does NOT share the outrage erupting about the #DonSnoreleone memorandum of understanding about the Iran War. Before we get to the substance of RantWoman's perspective though, let us also take note of the flood of videos about how badly President #StableGenius is performing at the #G7 summit. The most charitable way to start would just be to note that at age 80, no one should be expected to party the evening away for their birthday and hop on a plane to look all perky for an international summit while dragging jet lag and no sleep.
Please. though, dear readers indulge RantWoman: between international embarrassment at the #G7 summit and outrage from so many quarters about the #MemorandumOfUnderstanding, has the US FINALLY hit the kind of tipping point that can find #GrandpaSleepyhead a smooth glide toward genteel retirement with as many naps as he needs and as much golf as he can do? Hear that Mr. #DonOld?
4. Only some of the REALLY cringy clips of #DonSnoreleone does the summit.
There. Now RantWoman will resume her planned rant threads about #UX in a certain PT app, information overload served up by Yelp, and a quest for moderate price range dining with outdoor seating and good parking for a friend coming to visit who WILL rent a car no matter what RantWoman says about the silliness of doing so.
Dear world, Michell Obama is STILL NOT A MAN. More on the other side of the video.
RantWoman's X feed has been full all day of #MichelleObama appreciation pieces. RantWoman had been wondering what brought that about.
This here is the best specimen RantWoman as been served up about the whole pathetic trash-talking saga that launched the "Michelle Obama is a man" internet trope this time around.
It's not just "Michelle Obama is a man." it's that on top of "my lord Jesus Christ."
Michelle is much too polite to put things this way, but it would not take much to be 10 times the man of the limp-d*Ked cu*ks flinging around that ridiculous trope. They should apologize or their (insert vulgarity of choice about male genitalia) might fall off.
It is nice that at least a FEW people in the president's circle might the original comment disgusting.
LET’S BE VERY CLEAR: “Strong men who are TRULY Role Models, don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are TRULY Strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring people together”, #MichelleObamapic.twitter.com/gthB2Q1WZs
