PSA: We’re about to experience some serious heat. In fact, New York will hit 95 - 97F (36C+) over the weekend and many folks don’t have aircon or adequate access to cool water

Please check on your neighbors to see if they’re OK and have enough resources to make it through this. It’s sometimes hard to know when someone is overheated or maybe they’re too embarrassed to tell you, but do check anyway

If they’re elderly or infirm or if they have young children, they’re especially at high risk

Apparently the alt-right man-baby squad The Proud Boys are rallying in Portland this Saturday (30th July) and there's gonna be some counter-protest. I don't have any reliable links to give however.

They're even more violence-prone than normal though, so be careful and be sure you wanna get involved.

film the cops. it makes them nervous.

there are a couple feds on scene that didn't cover their faces (many did) but are still shying away from cameras. bowing their heads. averting their eyes. fidgeting nervously. ashamed.

take responsibility for your compliance, pigs. there is no Just Following Orders. we must all take responsibility for the machinery we enable, no matter how cruel or vicious or overwhelming.

(Just helped someone asking about alternative search engines, so perhaps it's time to repost this link:)

If you're looking for ethical #alternatives to #GoogleSearch, they exist and they are just as easy to use:

This is the same Zak I linked to a few days ago. These blog posts are golden.

It may be too late for America to reverse course and avoid apocalypse, but what if we just nudge it sideways from its current course, and towards a 90s b-movie cyberpunk apocalypse?

At least then we'd have a cool apocalypse!
