79/76 with a south wind at DCA. Enjoy the first firework in the city. Mid- to upper 70s dews and near saturation in many spots. Could get intense.

Fairly ideal conditions for fireworks smokemageddon in DC tonight. The locals are doing their part in increasing numbers already.

I can believe it. My dad lived just south of the city for a couple years. Will have to do heat index next.

This is a new/in progress? colorbar since weatherbell's sucks and I was feeling like a thieving president overlord king. I didn't feel like properly projecting because who really cares and it's a pita.

It's hot as a firecracker out there. Except where it's not or it rained. Needles, Ca. 118, Palm Springs 113, Las Vegas 111.

I’d be tempted to go if I ever took my camera out anymore. It’s def something worth doing here at least once if you can. I even dragged my dad to the other side of the river one year hahah. Getting back is a special hell and if it’s hot…

The site is used to launder disinfo and a dudebro accelerationist vibe to the masses. At this point I dunno what to say to people that can’t make that a hard stop but again I do appreciate there are a number of other pulls.

Maddening we got to now before flipping the switch. The Dems are so bad at this stuff. But even his call to stay in makes me wonder about his thinking. He was so well set up to hand off and be a hero in retirement now it’s like wtf man.

Lots of attention seeking of course but it was an incredible network at one point. Like almost everyone was there. Wonder if that is unusual in various professions. Some sciency groups did leave in large numbers.

Living in CA they were banned except for a couple big shows that my parents would never take me to which helped my love grow. Did camp out for 6 hours plus 8 years in a row here (thank god I got over that lol)… the pollution etc is brief and prob pretty minor in longrun. Will be checking epa tho.

People keep being like “omg you can’t do that” because rules and norms that don’t really exist anymore. It was, especially in retrospect, a very obvious error regarding Biden and incumbency.

Harris is kind of a goof and I never supported her before but I will vote for her if she is the candidate. Can see some advantages especially against an old out of shape criminal tho I wonder what the swing states look like having not investigated at all.

I mean I dunno. I don’t think he should have run again as I said at the time. Having a dad his age with dementia in much much worse shape I dislike the discussion from everyone about that but it’s hard not to wonder what he is thinking anymore.

Earl Ingram just on NPR says Biden should spend his final years with his family and hand off to Harris. I don’t know who he is but he interviewed Biden. Still amazed how fast stuff happens these days. Def feels like it’s becoming likely Biden steps aside and I thought no way a few days ago.

Coast of Jamaica getting raked by #Beryl. Eye has high clouds over it but intense convection just north and onshore in the right front quadrant.
