Many Such Takes, Special Edition: Biden is Out, Kamala is In

We are now officially unburdened by what has been

Today I’m releasing a special edition of Many Such Takes because Biden dropping out of the presidential race is too significant a moment for just a segment on the regular Many Such Takes.

Context (in which we all exist): Biden has been getting pressure to drop out of the presidential race after his disastrous performance at the presidential debate.

Kamala Having a Brat Summer

Are you having a brat summer? First, no, you’re not, you’re thirty-four. But you know who is? Kamala Harris, endorsed by Biden to be the next Democratic nominee, and endorsed by Charli XCX as brat:

Astrology Girlies Predicted This

Generally, I don’t think much about astrology and when people make predictions based on it, the predictions always seem too vague to be compelling. I may have to change my position on this, though, after what the Astrology Girlies were seen eerily tweeting back in 2020:
