@chicago I had to laugh for a little bit after seeing this map. Like the Universe was picking on us, personally. Again.



Welcome to Chicago! πŸ™ƒ 🀣

But there are going to be people who will really need our help, and I hope we'll all try to be there for them. washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/0…Image
@chicago Today's high humidity and high temperature might be funny when one is in one's early 20s, and is living in a well air-conditioned house, but if one is elderly, this weather can kill, especially if one is overheating at home, too.
@chicago We're going to be running errands for our older relatives and friends, and doing wellness checks on some of our neighbors.
@chicago Cooling shelters might be too far for the poor and the elderly to get to, or full past capacity, but one can make space on one's floor, roll out a few futons, and have a sleepover for a few trusted friends (and relatives) who are down on their luck.
@chicago If we remember to take care of our own, the strain on city shelters and on local charities can be greatly reduced, leaving them with a better chance to meet the needs of those who are left.

Heat waves have killed hundreds, before. Please, let's try not to let that happen, again.

@BWLH_ "That stupid poem," as you put it was written in 1883 and put on a plaque that has been there since 1903.



It greeted generations worth of immigrants who came through when Ellis Island was still turning people away.nps.gov/stli/learn/his…
@BWLH_ You're calling for the destruction of History based on contemporary political concerns. Support for open borders would have been widely considered an extreme (and irrational) position in the US as late as the 1980s.

Any reading of it into an 1883 poem is anachronistic.
@BWLH_ Let's take a look at what that poem really says, as opposed to what @BWLH_ seems to want to pretend that it says.



I'll cut and paste as well as that silly character limit will let me.digitalhistory.uh.edu/voices/lazarus…

@DarkandtheLight @henri_fjord My understanding is that they're allowed to leave a fire burning on the Sabbath, they're merely not allowed to light one.

A fire can keep burning on its own, for a very long time.

(1/2)
@DarkandtheLight @henri_fjord Also, if you look up the climate for Jerusalem, you'll notice that even in the two coldest months (January and February), the average nightly low in 44 F / 7 C, and the average daily high is 53 F / 12 C or higher.

One can sleep in a 40 F room and not freeze to death.

( 2 / 2)
@DarkandtheLight @henri_fjord Not just guessing on that last one. I've done this, before, for months at a time during a Midwestern winter.

No harm done. Throw in a fire and some walls, and the inside of a home is going to be noticeably warmer than the nightly low outside.

@LioIsFinalyBack @FearedBuck @Sir3O3 That's easy, because the problem isn't a completely new one. You've heard of ghost writers, right? These people who write things that other people pay to put their names on?

The old worry was that students would have ghost writers write their theses.
@LioIsFinalyBack @FearedBuck @Sir3O3 In order to keep students from getting away with that, schools make students who are going to get their PhDs defend their theses.

It's just you, a piece of chalk and that blackboard in front of a few college professors asking you hard questions about your thesis.
@LioIsFinalyBack @FearedBuck @Sir3O3 If you can't answer those questions, no degree.

@FearedBuck Somebody, please try to find out who this was.

His career needs to be over, now. This is not even a subject that should be seen as being open to debate. This is no different than having somebody else write one's paper for one.
@FearedBuck Grok did. I guess it just wasn't willing to tell people who didn't have blue checkmarks. I'll quote, and then link.
@FearedBuck "The UCLA graduate in the video is Andre Mai. He displayed ChatGPT during his graduation on June 18, 2025, implying he used it for a final project, which he clarified was allowed as the assignment was 'open to AI.'"

@allie__voss I've noticed that a lot of 30 something women, even ones who have said that they wanted children, seem to be stubbornly resigned to the idea that they'll never be able to find husbands.
@allie__voss I find that many of them will remain so even when suggestions are given as to where they would have an excellent chance of finding husbands who they'd love, and who would love them back.
@allie__voss It's frustrating, because in my line of work, I routinely run in men who are amazing in every way, who ended up as members of the sad and lonely bachelors' club, because they've had trouble finding single women (of what to them felt like appropriate years) to date.

@SomeBitchIIKnow Indians and Pakistanis belong to the same "race," yet one doesn't hear similar concerns being voiced about Indians, very often. That should be enough to get any charges of racism quickly dismissed.
@SomeBitchIIKnow If anything, the Pakistanis tend to be whiter, so this is about behavior, not skin color.

And Baroness Casey knows it.
@SomeBitchIIKnow The real problem isn't hard to find. Look up how old Aisha was, when Mohammed consummated his marriage with her.

Then take a look at what happens to people who ask awkward questions about Islam and its prophet.
