only one large building collapsed locally, an under construction government office building with 81 workers reportedly missing. i’m staying here. maybe the pic makes it look worse than it really is, most are hairline cracks but there are probably 50+ in the unit. seems cosmetic rather than structural and we’ve been cleared to stay unlike some other places. i’m hearing it’s a similar situation at hotels and friends places too anyway.

here’s the entrance to my unit: it’s like this all around, but i don’t think i’ve got it particularly bad compared to what i’ve seen from others. there’s some condos where residents haven’t been let back inside yet. elevators aren’t working here so it’s a trek up and down 11 flights of stairs to get out. that would be 45 if you’re on the top floor.

we got absolutely rocked today here in bangkok. apparently there are 81 people “trapped” in the rubble of the collapsed building. i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that building is currently a pile of crumbled concrete, glass, and twisted rebar. i would be absolutely shocked if any survivors are pulled from there. my condo unit here is a new build, luxury unit, from one of the most reputable developers and it got fucking rattled today. it was like a movie, walls cracking, building swaying, alarms blaring, while i’m running around trying to figure what the hell was going on. every wall in the unit has cracks running thru it. it seemed as if the whole thing might come down during the most intense part of the quake. the whole city shut down after it happened. but seems like everyone is safe outside of the construction workers that were in the collapsed building. what i’m not looking forward to is the reports to come from myanmar, where i’m sure casualties are much higher, damage is more widespread, and information will be slow to get out.

fuck sadness. what is this, the let’s fucking cry thread? we had a great season, and missed a championship opportunity by just a couple of plays at the highest level of competition. again. i’m not thrilled with the outcome, and it wasn’t our standard. but these posts shitting on our team, blaming quinn, sark, running game inconsistencies, whatever, they’re shit posts. wake the fuck up, get better, stop crying, and realize we’re very fucking close. this is some loser mentality bullshit. move on. the solution is to donate, trust in what we’ve been been building towards, and understanding the level we’re aiming to reach is right there. as if kirby’s georgia, harbaugh’s michigan, dabo’s clemson, and even day’s ohio state didn’t go through their own tribulations. we’re coming too. wipe the fucking tears off and let’s go.

then please enlighten me how she underperformed biden in just about every state? she was an unprimaried, backup replacement after biden’s health deteriorated more quickly than jerry jones’ football teams. she was gilbert coming in for injured colt. you’re defending a candidate that got their ass kicked in embarrassing fashion by donald fucking trump as an excellent candidate? wtf is wrong with you? the topic is that we should have been better, and you arguing against that is a very weak position to take particularly after just losing an election as pivotal as this one seemed to be.

haha right. i’m saying that’s the problem. there were many better alternatives, and that should have been realized long before biden’s near stroke in the debate. it also should have been realized in the days immediately following the debate, before harris was anointed without proper vetting.
