To Americans who might feel inclined to scoff at Europeans talking about the heat: I know you’ve heard this before but maybe you’ll listen to an American who spent many years of her life dealing with 115F / 46C summers out in the American west and now lives in France.

THIS IS WORSE. It’s so much worse.

When you hear “there’s no AC” you probably are thinking like…oh that’s rough, but still I’ve dealt with those temps. My old place didn’t have AC. It can’t be that bad.

NO. The lack of AC trickles down into every facet of dealing with the heat in a way that slowly and quite literally boils you alive. It’s not just “oh my apartment is hot this sucks”, it’s “there is nowhere you can go to cool down and if you overheat there is no help available”

For most there’s no AC anywhere. Anywhere. The coolest place available is maybe your local church, or a shopping center. Both will kick you out around 8pm, the hottest part of the day. In France and Spain in particular, the time zone is wrong (Hitler’s fault—we’re still aligned with Germany instead of the UK) and the sun doesn’t set until 10-11pm. Heat is still being actively pumped into your living spaces at 10pm.

And the temps do not meaningfully drop overnight. (Which you might expect if you’re from the American west. Southerners do understand this.) Many people live in stone walled buildings that just keep heating up. This is very literally the experience of being in a stone oven. And there’s no way to drop the temperature. You can’t escape it.

If your body temp climbs to unmanageable levels and you start experiencing heat exhaustion, you can call the hospital…most of which also do not have AC. I’m not sure how they’re treating people, I guess with ice packs? There’s already been a handful of deaths in my city, and that’s before any kind of post-wave reporting. These are real time reported deaths.

Anyway I want you to really, really internalize the sense of panic that starts to set in when you’re in these circumstances. The animal brain really starts to go wild when there’s no options and no escape. That’s why Europeans are posting about suffering.

(And no—leaving isn’t possible either. Many people don’t have cars, and the trains are down due to track over heating. And also don’t have AC. These conditions are frankly genuinely scary.)

i've said this on twitter since americans LOVEEEE to make fun of us in europe rn and i'll say this here too: AC really isn't much of a thing here. Besides the fact that hmmm it contributes to boil the planet, it uses a lot of electricity that people can't always afford, I KNOW SHOCKING!!! POOR PEOPLE EXIST!!! the bill quite literally skyrockets you know? not to mention, in big cities the extensive AC use from shops (that keep staying open during the hottest hours of the day because capitalism!!) causes constant blackouts and power shortages, in Milan and Turin the electricity cables that power entire zones of the cities MELTED because of the sun. Last year i was still in my student dorm in Turin and we had multiple blackouts during the day, I lived on the fifth floor, there was no AC, we could barely function and we ran out of power ALL THE TIME. that means no water in the fridge, no ice cubes, no fan. You think with all the denial of climate change (that you ACpilled people are contributing to), governments can magically convert entire nations to the AC? it takes a lot to change a system that we lived in for decades. Just shut up and accept that it's not supposed to be this hot and humid in Europe, that dozens of people are dying of heatstroke and that climate change won't be fixed by the AC (in fact, it will make it worse and it's still not something that is generally accessible).

Hey, did y'all see this?

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

@cringeferatu

President Mahama has said he must scrutinise it before signing it, which would make it law. But the pressure that's been placed has already caused sentences to be reduced and exemptions to be made comparatively to previous versions. More pressure is important even if this latest update was made because of the way the President, facing much pressure, has assented. The last time a similar bill was passed it did not end up getting signed (by Ghana's last president President Nana Akufo-Addo), so this pressure is definitely not meaningless or without hope.

This is why it is so crucial not to be silent about this. This version is better than the prior one even if it's still devastating and must not be passed. Pressure about human rights violations is not meaningless.

trans people don't need to hear your justifications for still enjoying harry potter in 2026 stop looking for forgiveness where you're not going to get it

[infectiouspiss]

if i walk into your house and see harry potter stuff, i'm just gonna assume you're a transphobe. no amount of "i got it from a charity shop" can save you from the fact that you value those books enough to display them in your home.

you can't just put the work of someone who's currently trying to eradicate trans people on display without being questioned about it, especially if you claim to care about us.

same goes for your social media, if you're willing to keep putting jkr's work on a podium and proudly talking about it, then it's simply logical to believe that you don't care about other people. it's selfish if i'm being honest, to think that your comfort matters more than the lives of millions.

[infectiouspiss]

and to the trans people saying that they're "reclaiming harry potter for the trans community"

no you're not, you can't do that while jkr and her neo nazi friends are currently trying to kill you. you need to let go or else your own community won't be happy to help you when our collective rights are stripped further away.

[infectiouspiss]

trans children in the uk are killing themselves because of the things jkr has done.

children are dead. children who should be happy and free to be themselves are fucking dead because jkr has used her immense wealth and social power to change laws specifically to harm trans people. if you really think that your fucking "comfort characters" are more important than the lives of children then you should say that with your full chest. go on. tell the entire world that you don't give a fuck about dead kids. that you don't have an ounce of empathy in your disgusting shrivelled heart, because you still have your shitty fucking books and your garbage movies. your comfort matters more than anything, doesn't it? maybe jkr will tell you you're one of the good ones, wouldn't that be nice?

Exciting! JK Rowling is now represented by a trans politician! Voting matters!

In the photo above, the person on the right is MSP Iris Duane, who is a trans woman and uses she/her pronouns. She is only 23 years old, considers herself a socialist, and had the goal of being the first trans woman of colour in Parliament.

On the left is MSP Q Manivannan, who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. They are the one who now represents JKR. They are originally from Tamil Nadu, India and is studying for their doctorate!

I sometimes wonder if fucking around with Cleverbot as a teenager gave me some kind of immunity to Chat GPT somehow

like, I have seen how much jank is in chat bots. How do you expect me to trust this one just because it has somewhat more consistent prose and doesn't tell me "he's MINE not YOURS" when I mention the wrong anime boy in a sentence
