I am almost 31, and I probably said the same kind of statement when I was 6 and Pokémon hit the states. Love that Pokémon is still big with the kids. (I apologize if I made any geriatric millennials feel older than they are)

Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

This coming week, temperatures in Death Valley will be the hottest in the recorded history of this planet. Beryl is the earliest category four storm in the history of Atlantic hurricane season. People, both now and in the future, need us to stave off fascism and build a world where they can live.

We make jokes about how dystopia is a lot more boring in reality than all the books we had to read in high school made it out to be. I think what we're forgetting is that the part we're in now - where the characters might have stopped it & didn't - is the backstory of these books, not the story.

i hate to have one of these at all but my big "WE DRANK FROM THE HOSE" opinion is that people younger than millennials really can't imagine what coming of age in a time of media scarcity meant - like, I would read about records and movies and not actually be able to see them for YEARS

Hurricanes. Never. Cross. The. Equator. Hurricane tracking data from 1851-2006 from NASA, showing the path of storms by color-coded intensity. Why? Because the Coriolis force at the equator is essentially zero & can only vector AWAY from the equator, producing spins that move storms OUT.

By the way, I've flown a couple times recently and the TSA is rolling out some weird facial recognition thing at some airports which you can opt out of. I would encourage everybody to opt out of it because I do not like the idea of normalizing that technology, especially in those hands.
