  • About the podcast#
    • I just did a 34-minute podcast, not sure I'm going to publish it. #
    • I asked ChatGPT to do an outline of the talk, and that's what I've included below. #
  • Kamala Harris is much more than I thought.#
    • It’s not just me; millions of people are realizing her capacity.#
    • She’s more than a good vice president; she’s in the right place at the right time.#
    • I was skeptical at first, thinking her as president would be a disappointing outcome.#
    • Watching her acceptance speech blew away any doubts I had.#
    • I’m really looking forward to her inaugural speech—it’s going to be something.#
  • I’ve realized that Trump is still basically the incumbent.#
    • It sounds strange, but his influence is still huge, almost like he never left office.#
    • January 6th wasn’t just a riot; it was an act of war against our government.#
    • It’s scary that Trump hasn’t been held accountable, and that’s dangerous.#
  • Harris offers a fresh perspective compared to Biden.#
    • Biden has been steady during crises like COVID-19, but he’s tied to old ways.#
    • The Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade was a huge missed opportunity—they weren’t prepared.#
    • This decision wasn’t just legal; it fundamentally changed our society.#
  • Harris seems to understand the stakes better than Biden.#
    • She’s ready to take action, and that’s what we need now.#
    • Biden is like a tree that’s been in the same spot for decades—strong but inflexible.#
    • Harris isn’t weighed down by that history; she can move forward.#
  • We’re heading into another election cycle with potential for violence and misinformation.#
    • Harris’s role is critical because Trump’s threat isn’t going away.#
    • How we deal with this will define the future of our democracy.#
  • Kamala Harris isn’t just a vice president; she’s the leader we need right now.#
    • She understands the challenges and is ready to guide us through them.#
    • This is a critical moment, and Harris is the one who can help us navigate it.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
