It's that time of year when I can see sunsets out the dirty office windows again.
When I walked at lunch with my colleague, I was telling her about strange stories that are in the rightwing media but legitimate sources say are completely false, and she told me one of them is going all around Chinese media too. I find this fascinating - why is Chinese media interested in fake, sensationalistic stories meant to get the low-information crowd here all riled up? Why do they even care what happens here? Are they trying to prove to their own people that our country is so crazy that we do these things that all normal people would agree are crazy... IF they were happening? Considering that schools can't give kids a Tylenol without parental permission, it really stretches the imagination that you could send Tommy to school and get back Tammy that afternoon without anyone consulting you. It always amuses me how the other side says liberals are terrible at governing and can't get anything done, yet they are so deadly efficient that they are secretly giving sex-change operations to thousands of minors behind their parents' back. We are all just waiting to see how the Right is going to blame Democrats for all Trump's future failings (and they will be myriad) when the Democrats currently have absolutely no power. The mental gymnastics with these people are astounding, but I guess you learn to be that way when you are such an obvious hypocrite but have to convince yourself that you are the Party of Law and Order despite electing a criminal as president.
In the evening Travalon and I went swimming for the first time in weeks. Not much to say about that, but it felt great. I said both the warm pool and the hot tub seemed less warm than usual, so he said that was something to blog about. I guess it is, at that.
