My husband hates DST and I swear to God my least favorite part is having to listen to his rants every year.

Spring means mania watch in our house. Found our DD1 just laying on the wood floor in her room this morning because she couldn't sleep. Whee!

Fuck DST. Everyone in my house is a wreck. Can we stop this nonsense already? I thought they were going to axe it?

As if DST weren't bad enough, we had wind yesterday (and today too) and our power went out around 3pm. Outage map said it would be back between 6-11pm, so we planned accordingly (as in we opted not to go to a hotel). It did not come back.
They're now saying between 1-6pm today, so fingers crossed. N's off to school, I'm at a friend's house because I haven't showered and also need a secure connection for work. H is at home under the covers because it's his day off.
Plus we have a meeting with N's teacher today because his behavior isn't improving (not malicious, just doesn't sit still/listen well, so we are talking next steps).
If it weren't for work that needs to be done today, I'd have called out.
Send wine. Or Pedro Pascal. Or both.

I stayed up way too late watching election results come in and though 226/230 of the seats are now elected, it's unclear what is going tO happen. It's almost an even split between the center left and center right socialists, so nobody has enough to form an alliance for a majority government. So either the center right socialists align with the far right party, or the center left socialists support the center right in a minority government so everybody can ignore the far fight party. Or nothing happens and we vote again in 3 months.

The wind is crazy here too. No power outages in our area just yet, but we'll see if our luck holds. A house in a neighboring town had two trees fall on it, so it's definitely pretty wild out there today.

The local article that popped up this morning didn't mention any injuries, so I'm assuming (hoping) everyone is ok.

I know in Germany that some people voting for the most right-wing party are just very very unhappy with how poorly certain things are going with the current government and that they don't actually hold extremist views. My newspaper article mentioned corruption scandals in the PS party do you think some of the votes for Chega could have been more due to unhappiness with the current situation or do you feel a real push to the right in general?

My newspaper article mentioned corruption scandals in the PS party do you think some of the votes for Chega could have been more due to unhappiness with the current situation or do you feel a real push to the right in general? I wrote a whole thing and proboards ate it! Gah! But in summary there is both a legit shift right and also a number of people very upset with PS. Because in 2022 PS was elected with 120 seats, so a clear majority. The scandal certainly played into this shift as PSD(the center right party) only got a handful of new seats. Also, the Prime Minister resigned, even though he was not involved in the scandal. So the party also has new untested leadership. All of it led to this shift. I'm hopeful that Chega will be a flash in the pan, because they have lots of complaints but no sensible solutions. We shall see.

Hur is getting his ass handed to him by both sides of the aisle. I have no sympathy for him.

Lol that's a wild argument. Apparently the only reason Biden cooperated with the investigation was bc he saw 45 get indicted for not doing so. Nevermind that he proactively returned materials to NARA before.
