i did not see a single push-up here
if you can't do a full push up there are all sorts of perfectly valid modified push ups you can do, and if you're 87 you get credit just for trying. But Cotton should be embarrassed for bragging about his shit push ups.
again i will never ever give people shit for their form if they are working out but if you get in front of an audience like this fucking lol
also like 22 proper push ups is a fine fitness goal for a person but not exactly something to brag about on stage

one of the fucked up things about this heat wave is that more people will get A/C. this is necessary. temperatures like this can kill.

but more A/C means more power drawn which burns more carbon and brings more heat

it is its own kind of accelerationism
and there's really no way out of that part of the cycle, other than very quickly moving to new methods of power generation. people die in 115 degree temperatures. permanent injury can happen extremely quickly. heat stroke does not fuck around.
i moved to the West Coast like 9 years ago, and I've always sought homes with A/C even when the climate meant i never used it. as a Texan, i cannot feel truly safe in a home without it. fear of the summer is written into my bones.

just imagine going back in time a decade and explaining literally any now-daily occurrence to yourself back then
"Sometimes the former president of Iran hops on to celebrate gangster rap. Other times he shows up to tell you to believe in yourself."
"Also at some point Jim Carrey is going to get into a twitter spat with Mussolini's granddaughter over a painting."

Reports from Minneapolis that a man purposefully rammed a protest against the assassination of Winston Smith. Three people were injured. At least one seriously.

The driver was apparently apprehended by protesters, who also administered first aid to the injured.
The person I quoted took that photo. They claim to have been nearly hit in the attack and are a witness to it.
Other reports from the scene claim that riot cops showed up before an ambulance did.

This is rad.
I'm glad for Darnella and I'm glad for this recognition of citizen reporting, which is more important than ever and needs to be aggressively recognized as valid.

I'm not wild about the Pulitzers, but Darnella was responsible for undoubtedly the single most important piece of reporting last year. Mainstream press recognition of the validity of that sort of work will help to report other independent citizen reporters who risk their lives.

lot of good criticisms about u.s. militarism and thoughtless worship of the military-industrial complex but

it is good and right to remember all the men and women, American, Russian, Chinese, British, French, etc, who gave everything to stop the Nazis.
I remember watching Band of Brothers with my grandpa. Violence in movies never bothered him. But he couldn't get past the scene where all the men were on the docks getting ready to head across the Atlantic.

It reminded him of the last time he saw many of his friends.
His brother, my Uncle Tillman, fought at Bastogne, where he took shrapnel to the skull. He survived. But he never really came back. The rest of his life was marred by mood swings and illness and untreated trauma. He died fairly young.

this is a nice warning for how a large chunk of middle class America will react to the increasing calamities of the future. At the first warning, buy more than you need of what everyone else needs too.
Again my advice is to figure out how to get a 1-2 month supply of dried food, a weeks worth of water and extra purification tablets/ filters, a solid first aid kit and one tank worth of extra gas. Make sure you rotate that frequently as it expires.

That's a reasonable basic kit.
If you buy when there isn't a disaster and a resource crunch, you can avoid participating in a resource crunch. It just requires thinking ahead.

Keep an extra case of toilet paper in your garage and don't touch it. Buy a can or two of shitty coffee just in case.
