Also remember (as you clearly wrote many times) that we’re talking increased risk, not causation. We were 24 and 27 when my autistic daughter was born. Sometimes you just get dealt a rough hand.
Nope. Unfortunately, like so many other things related to US elections, it’s a patchwork that varies by state.
As president, he will demand to speak with the president of Puerto Rico!
To those giving you shit about cutting horrible people out of your life and saying you need to go visit…
Bullshit. Fuck that noise. I have family that I’ve cut out as well (although, luckily, not my parents). I’m 100% open to them rejoining my life, but their hatred for others is stronger than their love for me, and I won’t allow them back until that changes. Spoiler alert: it probably never will, because there’s no love like Christian “love”.
“Agree to disagree” is reserved for things like “I don’t like coffee.” Not racism, homophobia, and sexism. Not human rights. Not basic common decency. If I unfriend you during this, it IS personal. We do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in morality.
I fucking hate these “personality assessments”. This is from one I just took the other day. One of around 50 questions.
I do Top/6hrs, but will jump over to Hot if I’ve been scrolling too long and run out of content.
Just have to watch the drop boxes to make sure no one lights them on fire.
We’ve been dealing with this shit for far too fucking long…
heatwaves everywhere…
Agreed. Some numbers for Phoenix this year -
70
The number of days this year of 110° or hotter, which is a new record. The previous record was 55 days, set in 2023
138
The number of days this year of 100° or hotter. The current record is 145 days, set in 2020. We are going to cool down a bit after the weekend, so we’ll be sitting at about 142. But, the latest we’ve ever had a 100° day is October 27th, so we’ve still got an outside shot at setting a new record.
113
The number of consecutive days this year of 100° or hotter. The previous record was 76 days, set in 1993.
16
The number of current days in a row of setting / tying a new all-time high each day. This streak started on September 25th 23rd and is expected to go through Monday, likely putting the total at 20. The previous record anywhere in the US for a streak like this was 14, set in Iowa in 1936 during the Dust Bowl.

Yeah, I’m neurodivergent and have a terrible memory. My life is full of alarms and notes and reminders for everything, otherwise nothing gets done.
While I’m well aware of the insidiousness of tech’s ever increasing privacy violations, I also look forward to things like AI being able to function as a full blown personal assistant to help me run my life.
Yup. For those that don’t know, that’s essentially how utf-8 works -
Ice dispenser.
Don’t forget the simple greed from the corps.
