to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe 💚

Great time to start pricing this out by the way, fire season starts… on the summer solstice this year, that’s fun. Signs point to it being a doozy.

[angrymadsygin]

@motanulnegru the fans we have, we should look for some filters.

You’ve heard of “i didn’t say it was good, i said i liked it,” get ready for “i said it had some technical problems & didn’t fully deliver on its themes, not that i didn’t like it”

[elucubrare]

#I voiced a criticism of some of its aspects#which in no way implies I did not like it#“and especially does not imply that I would like to hear a defense of it of the form 'shut up and let people have fun'”

Zohran Mamdani is using New York City to show the world how progressive policies work for everyone. #DemocraticSocialist

[contemplatingoutlander]

Well, he's showing the 21st Century US how progressive policies work. The rest of the wealthy, developed nations already know how well they work. And Americans in the 20th century when FDR and LBJ were presidents understood how well they worked.

Reagan and the GOP spent 50 years brainwashing Americans into thinking that the government is the enemy, and we will all be prosperous if we give the rich tax breaks and let the money "trickle down."

And so now we have Trump, who gave the rich huge tax breaks, which led to a spiraling deficit, and Trump cutting back on Medicaid, ACA support, SNAP, and other social benefits in order to have enough moneyto fund ICE, his war, his ballroom, etc.

When are working class MAGA going to realize they've been played by decades of GOP propaganda?

Gorgeous 1896 Queen Anne in Escondido, CA. 4bds, 3ba, 3,300sqft, $3,888,888.

It's already decorated with the finest Bradbury & Bradbury reproduction Victorian wallpaper.

The sitting room is like something out of a magazine.

They've got some authentic furniture pieces, too. It is known as the "Jewel of Escondido."

According to the listing, the owners spent $4m to restore it to modern standards while preserving the historic elements.

Well, you can definitely tell that the kitchen is new. I like green cabinets, though.

Details of the backsplash.

Even the laundry room was decorated.

Small sitting area by the stairs.

This house doesn't have linen closets in the hall, so they used barrister bookcases.

I read the description over twice to see if the furnishings come with it, but it only said that the well-appointed rooms would serve the new owners for many years to come. Usually "well-appointed" refers to decor, but it could just mean the wallpaper and permanent fixtures.

Beautiful bath.

The bedrooms are fully decorated, but I guess that the buyer should appreciate the expensive wallpaper and the carpeting.

The furniture in the bedrooms is exquisite.

Look at this decor.

This must be the primary bedroom. It's larger and has the table and easy chair.

The baths are very beautifully done. This is how to renovate a Victorian bath.

This is beautiful. Even the grounds are meticulously maintained.

Here's a fountain.

Beautiful covered patio.

Pretty and shady pavilion in the yard.

.5 acre corner lot.
