  • The heat has come largely from hot air blowing in from Africa, which meteorologists forecast will continue through Sunday. Temperatures are expected to peak at 43 degrees Celsius (109 degrees Fahrenheit).

    In Italy, two firefighters died putting out a blaze in the Basilicata region in the country’s south, authorities said.

  • Ah yes all the votes for Nader. It did change things, but ask yourself how it changed things. The answer: it changed things for the worse. Big time.

    And all those protest no votes against Hilary. Again, how did that change things? Again, it changed things for the worse. Fucking tenfold worse.

    If you want things to move left, you do that by giving Dems victories.

  • his extensive network of connections with establishment GOP heavyweights, wealthy financiers, technology executives, the prestige press, and fellow graduates of Yale Law School—precisely the elites he rails against.

    More than 200 people appear on Vance’s Venmo “friends” list. Among them is Amalia Halikias, government relations director at the Heritage Foundation—the conservative think tank coordinating the controversial Project 2025. ... So are Jeff Flake, the famously anti-Trump former Arizona senator and current ambassador to Turkey; lobbyists from organizations like the Government Strategies Group; people affiliated with other conservative think tanks like the Hoover Institution and the American Enterprise Institute; journalists and media personalities like Bari Weiss and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson; and tech executives from Anthropic and AOL. (None of these people responded to requests for comment.)

    This points to one important caveat—being friends on Venmo does not mean two people have transacted together, or even know the payment app has designated them as friends.

    According to Venmo, when someone first uses the app, they are prompted to allow it to access their phone contacts. If they agree, Venmo will find any contacts already using the app and automatically populate the user’s friend list. Users can also intentionally add or remove friends. Along with the user’s transactions, their friends list is public by default. This means it’s likely that Vance’s list of friends was largely populated by the contacts in his phone when he set up his account in December of 2016.

  • The first rule in rescue is don't become another casualty.

    Hunker down for a few days, iirc the most dangerous radiation will decay in the first few days. You don't want the ash on your body. Fill your bathtub/whatever else with water to drink and ration your food.
