My ridiculous obsession with True Blood's Alexander Skarsgård/Eric Northman, Sons of Anarchy's Tommy Flanagan/Chibs Telford, Supernatural's Dean Winchester/ Jensen Ackles, and Luther's Idris Elba/John Luther.

We’re experiencing the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S., and people are looking around and saying, “Where did this come from? How could this be happening?” They’re looking to Hungary and Germany and Russia, for example. The truth is, part of our government, since the founding, has been authoritarian. Part of our government has always governed people without their consent, without elections, without constitutional norms, without limits, without the kind of balance of power that we’re all used to. And it’s changed over time, but that first group of people that were governed that way here were Indigenous people. So much of what the current administration is doing isn’t borrowing from right-wing leaders from other parts of the globe or other parts of history; it’s just borrowing from this body of American law that’s always existed. That’s why it’s been so hard to fight: It’s baked into the system.

Heatwave Tips from Nebraska to my European Friends:

Keep your curtains closed during the day to keep the greenhouse effect from making your house/flat hotter, then open everything at night when the air is cooler. ❤️

stay hydrated and get enough sodium to replace what you sweat out.

Don’t cook anything or run all appliances during the day if you can avoid it. They all generate heat.

Here’s how to make an air cooler that can drop a room’s temp. Choose one room and keep it as sealed off as possible from other rooms:

I live somewhere that can get -30°F to 105°F (-34°C to 40°C) depending on the time of the year. We have snowplows and snowblowers, but AC is standard everywhere, too.

Infrastructure is privilege.

This DIY air cooler cost me nothing — and it actually worked in a heatwave

Heat driving you crazy? Try this homemade air cooler

Thank you to the American who told me to keep my window closed during the day to prevent heat getting in & to open it at night to let it escape, you've saved me during every heatwave for the last 6 years

Intellectual property laws used to mean something when it targeted the consumer.

Now the venture capitalist steals the IP to make derivative AI bullshit.
