What a superb finish to the tournament after that semi-final, im so proud of them and the fact that they picked themselves up like this and gave such a nice answer to all the bs people were stirring up. Yes, it is a little bittersweet, but im happy that today ended the way that it did. They deserved this and so much more. The best England finish since 1966!!! Fantastic, fabulous, amazing. All of them did so good, so proud of you boys 🩷🩷

I love them sm, and it is only up from here 🦁🤍❤️

Another public service announcement. This time it’s air quality. Some of you are probably in it already if you’re in eastern Canada, New England or New York, but it’s sliding south, a huge mass of wildfire smoke. Please be careful. When it starts getting bad, especially, like when the sky gets orange or brownish, it’s best to run air purifiers in the house and wear N95 or KN95 masks when you have to go outside.

It harms your lungs and it’s especially bad for children (and pets!) or anyone with health problems. There are all kinds of chemicals in that smoke. It’s not only trees that are burning. The heat already makes it harder to breath. This makes it worse.

If any of you are experiencing it, feel free to tell about it in the comments. 💚

Also, throw out the mask every day and shower before you get in bed if you’ve been out or you’ll be breathing the particles all night. Stuff like that. It gets all over you, your skin, your hair, your clothes.

It's a large (and shifting) smoke plume, so stay safe, folks. Look up how to make a "Corsi-Rosenthal Box" if you need an air purifier inside.

I know this map shows specific areas but as of July 16th I doubt it's accurate, all of Western PA is covered in smoke, so I expect it has shifted downwards

[so-i-did-this-thing]

Smoke plumes shift a lot. The further east/southeast you are from these fires, the more drastic the shifting will be. And there will always be uncertainty because ironically, smoke can make it difficult for satellite systems to detect wildfires.

Count Binface oozes more confidence and charisma in this 52 second clip than Farage ever has in his entire life and I'm actually going to be genuinely upset if he doesn't win.

He’s quite the looker under the mask. Also a graduate of Oxford University so not an idiot

[jen-kollic]

I am fucking loving how shit-scared the UK right-wing is of a man with a bin on his head. Now that Count Binface might actually win the Clacton byelection they're desperately trying to smear him with such gems as:

"He's anti-Brexit!" Good.

"He's anti-Trump!" Good.

"He's anti-establishment!" At this point I think you're just trying to make me like him more.

"His manager once called Farage a horrible cunt!" Well Farage *is* a horrible cunt, what's your point?

"He's making a joke of British politics!" Well that's very appropriate given that current British politics *are* a fucking joke.

"He's a left-wing liberal elitist!" I don't know if you can be all of those things at once, but I do know that Count Binface isn't the one getting millions in donations from cryptocurrency billionaires sooooooo...

Vote change. Vote Binface.

[ratantics]

I'm glad that a large portion of the media is cleary pissed off at Count Binface and I hope he continues to make them all look like humourless twats in front of the entire country because it's what they fucking deserve tbh.

Count Binface for Clacton!
