I’m rare #Ohio native who hates driving, and even I am capable of driving 3 hours along Lake Erie to a destination. Let alone 45 minutes. And I have an EV! But #Ohio has chargers in all rest areas now!

I loved your blog post, hilarious and shows how out of touch he is with utter contempt of #Ohio

I GUFFAWED at this. John Glenn would have hated his guts “Vivek declared “We deserve to be governed as the conservative state that we are, state of Neil Armstrong and John Glenn,” apparently not realizing John Glenn served as a Democratic Senator until 1999. He doesn’t even know his Ohio history.”

“Yesterday he flew from Dublin to Youngstown, a drive of less than three hours, to attend Trump’s rally. If he’d driven, he could have stopped at the Mohican Memorial State Forest which has biking trails to explore. Why does he want to rule a state he doesn’t even like?”

“On October 10th, he took a 35-minute flight from Dublin, a suburb of Columbus, to Ashtabula on Lake Erie, which would have been a three-hour drive. He could have stopped his car at the glorious Malabar Farm and taken a tour. It’s lovely in October.”

“On October 5th, Vivek reportedly took an 11-minute flight from Findlay, Ohio, to Toledo, Ohio. That’s a driving distance of 45 minutes…He could have listened to a chapter of an audiobook and saved some money. He could have taken a quick detour to Port Clinton to visit the Cheese Haven”

Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy, the billionaire Republican candidate for governor, is still doing everything he possibly can to avoid touching Ohio. It’s as if he thinks Ohio is lava. Everywhere he goes on the campaign trail, he refuses to be on the highway but instead takes a plane.

The way you know Vivek is not fit to rule Ohio is a true Ohioan would drive at least 8 hours before even considering flying

The Milwaukee Brewers are going to the World Series with a sweep of the LA Dodgers in the NLCS

@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialOct 16, 2026, 3:11 AM

I don’t follow #baseball anymore but as someone who loves #Milwaukee and hates #LosAngeles, this was a good end to a bad day of news.

Congrats Brewers!

Glorious day for baseball and for our national morale.

The best film adaptation of one of my favorite authors. Strangers on a Train (1951)

The GOP has been a dead party walking since 2016, with its internal infrastructure decaying while Trump's domination of national politics has papered over much of the rot. But now, Trump's popularity is starting to really run out, and there's nothing left to cover what the GOP has become.

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

And I still don’t remotely care enough about this to affect my vote.

@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialOct 16, 2026, 2:17 AM

Admittedly it irks me if he uses “physician” as someone who is a #Michigan resident, a board certified practicing #physician and a recent #Congressional staffer simultaneously.

But the n of that in Michigan voters is like me and maybe a couple of others out of 8 million registered voters lol

Beyond this, there's a certain kind of American man who feels he can assert masculine control/demand gratitude from an immigrant spouse because he's doing her a favor by accepting her, and he stands for America broadly in ensuring she Knows Her Place & will be deferential to him.

100% as someone who has known women in those kind of marriages (there are friends that are in very healthy interracial marriages but yeah, I have seen the fucked up ones too)

@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialOct 16, 2026, 1:47 AM

I didn’t even realize you had left #OhioState - congratulations! What an honor, and Richmond seemed lovely when I saw it this past spring on a #fellowship trip to the #Virginia state house

@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialOct 16, 2026, 1:36 AM

I was born in the mid 80s and my parents were never really into Disney, so I missed a whole lot of even 90s movies. Very few I have seen from before the 90s.

@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialOct 16, 2026, 1:28 AM

I haven’t had a VHS player in 20ish years, or a DVD player anymore either, and it’s not on streaming so 🤷🏻‍♀️

@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialOct 16, 2026, 1:27 AM

How? Where? I know for sure you were not born before 1946 😂

@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialOct 16, 2026, 1:25 AM

I have never seen Song of the South (how have you all seen a movie from the 1940s? I’m confused)

Out of ones I have seen, #Pocahontas because I am a history buff and know John Smith was 50s and unattractive and she was 14 or 15 and it was ridiculously historically inaccurate.

Name your least fav Disney FIlm.
