This heat wave is absolutely bone crushing. I'm so glad I installed central air two years ago. But if you're without AC, or you're dealing with a heat wave for the first time because it's reaching areas that don't historically get this hot, here are a few tips from my years of poverty in a desert:

No that's cool little buddy, I definitely needed a furry hot water bottle to add to the 27°C (80.6°F/300.15°K) heat in this room. Go right ahead.

The most probable way you, an American, gets harmed from this illegal war isn't a nuclear bomb but you getting shot by a cop with live ammo while protesting. Or you getting pulled out of your car and thrown face first on the ground for being in traffic near a protest. Etc.

Brown and Muslim lives are always seen as not as worthy, not as interesting, not troubled by domestic differences and historical traumas, not worthy of human interest stories, while at the same time they are always also expected to show restraint when stronger powers pummel their countries

Congress died the moment they allowed 147 insurrectionists to remain in office instead of expelling them and charging them with sedition. That’s just my opinion.

Donald Rumsfeld was a pig ignorant thug who dragged the west into an illegal war because he thought it was his right to carve a big ‘Rummy was here’ into the face of the Earth. This generation of hawks are even more pathetic, doing the same thing because they can’t even think of anything else.

I just don't get it. The United States is doing every single step one would need to do for a soft genocide. And this congresswoman goes "maybe the public just isn't ready for trans rights, we have to consider that" NO. THE FUCK. WE DO NOT.

unable to fully comprehend the selective amnesia I’m seeing among some democrats who witnessed with their working adult brains how effective a minority party can be every single time the gop was out of power in the last half century, and still STILL they rail that schumer is a powerless infant baby

It's crazy how the Republicans finally figured out that it takes 60% of Congress to go to war, but only 51% of Congress to just not hold the president accountable for doing it illegally.

Compared to the build up in 2003, which was months and months of build up on top of a cresting wave of anxiety, nationalism, Islamophobia and bloodthirst since 9/11, what Trump and media did here was the equivalent of a cop pointing and yelling "he's got a gun" and then opening fire

Wow. The president of the United States just bombed the Middle East because they are building weapons of mass destruction - and the UK is supporting this. I had heard trends from your teenage years will come around again when you’re old, but this isn’t what I thought they meant.

Norms, laws, international treaty commitments (which are also part of US law). All of them totally ignored, apparently without consequence. We can argue about what to call this regime under which we now live. It’s neither a democracy nor a constitutional republic.

The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.

Trump tore up the Iran deal during his first term b/c the nation’s first Black president brokered it. In 2024, white America reelected an even more openly racist Trump and Christian White Nationalist gov’t overhaul b/c they didn’t want a Black Woman president. Today, Trump started a war with Iran.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Fundamentally, American media culture places more prestige on being wrong cleverly than being right simply. They’ll spend 50,000 words sucking off a Nazi with a polysyllabic vocabulary before they interview the nice lady who volunteers at the animal shelter because she likes dogs.
