I’m so, so hopeful that I’m a few decades people will look back at our terrible indoor air quality the way we look at indoor smoking, breathing in leaded gasoline fumes, etc. One of those things that just seems like an unimaginable way to live once you’ve experienced the alternative.

 

lol, 10 bucks says he heard a car backfire and freaked out.

AI making itself sick is beautiful, honestly. If it was a plot device in a sci-fi show I’d call it too on the nose.

Do you actually think the watermelon racist trope is because black people just happened to like watermelon a lot? Because if you do you need to go read up on it, and if you don’t then you need to stop trivializing the history of racist oppression by equating it with a joke about a snack purchase.

Totally depends on your local laws. Where I live (southern California) any fruit hanging over the sidewalk is free for the public to take, regardless of whether the tree itself is on public property. But if you cross the property line to reach it, it becomes theft.

I’ve been hearing that exact argument since Columbine.

The people who were shitting blood over how anyone who wants Biden to step down is a Russian agent will unfortunately learn absolutely nothing from these events.

My phone alert woke me up after the quake happened, lol. “DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON!” So I wait a few seconds, wait a few more seconds, and finally figure out it already happened. My husband said the quake woke him up, though.

A thief thinks everyone steals.

Out of all the types of American political voters that exist (as defined and studied by Pew), the progressive left has the highest voting rate of any group. Including 'Faith and Flag Conservatives.'

If you're super worried about criticism from someone further left than you killing support for your candidate, it's not because leftists don't show up to vote.

'Transgendered' is best left in the 2000s btw.

The heat wave has broken and I was practically frolicking outside today. It’s so incredibly pleasant, other than the air quality warning from the nearby fires. 😬

 
 

Some of the medications include:

  • Antidepressants
  • Antihistamines
  • Stimulants
  • Beta blockers
  • Diuretics
  • ACE inhibitors
  • Thyroid medication
  • Antipsychotics

Be sure to pay extra attention to any symptoms of heat exhaustion, stay hydrated, and in a cool area indoors when possible during heat waves.

Street view from Google Maps:

 

Inspired by watching my cat lay on her 6' (2 m) tall cat tower and sleep like a baby. Zero regrets, even if it makes us look like insane cat people for having a giant cat tower right in our living room. She lives here, she gets furniture too!

Alt text: a one panel comic drawn in the style of The Onion’s Stan Kelley that says “shelter from the storm”; three rain clouds that say “resurgent fascism”, “irreversible climate change”, and “impending economic collapse” are raining on a furry character, who is cheerfully whistling because they have an umbrella labeled “weed and furry porn” that is keeping them dry. Similar to The Onion comics, a smaller character representing the artist is in the corner, saying “weather proof.” The artist is CritterDome
