This is high key her fault...
  • Why the eff is everyone here letting James Comey off the hook? The guy who ignored DoJ instructions on not doing anything that night interfere in an election in the 90 days beforehand, and deliberately held a press conference just days before the election to say that Hilary was still under investigation, then 'cleared' her shortly after it?

    The MAGAts who were pissed about a black President were never going to vote for a woman, but that Comey presser gave enough doubts to swing the election. And he conveniently 'forgot' to mention that Trump and several of his people were also under investigation. Fuck Comey.

  • Wildfire Threats Make Utilities Uninsurable in US West | As wildfire season starts, some utilities are now operating without insurance — and are on the hook if their power lines are linked to a blaze.
  • The insurance challenges are now making it more expensive and difficult for some utilities to attract the capital required to harden their grids

    The grids they've been refusing to maintain or harden for decades, those grids? Given their past history, they wouldn't be acting now unless there was pressure on them - they'd just be handing out another round of executive bonuses and stock dividends.

  • ‘Too many old people’: A rural Pa. town reckons with population loss
  • That's been a general movement away from rural America for decades (and people have been leaving the countryside to make their fortune in the big city for centuries). However, this line stood out to me because of the timeframe cited:

    A whopping 81 percent of rural counties had more deaths than births between 2019 and 2023.

    Maybe I'm just still bitter, but maybe they should have tried social distancing, wearing masks, and getting vaccinated.

  • Steve Bannon files appeal to Supreme Court in bid to stay out of jail - ABC News
  • lmao. A bunch of states actually have Civil Rights era laws on the books that say law enforcement can't harass you to or from the polls. So if you live in the right state and were cited literally at the polling place, you could probably argue your way out of the ticket.

  • Options for equalizing temperature between the basement and the rest of the house in summer?
  • I know there's a floor insulation issue, but what about redirecting air, and other sources of leaks? Does your basement have vents in it? Turn them off and maybe consider getting bent covers that can seal in the summer. Close the vents on the first floor so that (the majority of) the cool air comes in at the second floor and sinks down. Weather-strip and baffle the basement door.

    Also, see if your electric company offers a home energy assessment. It takes about an hour, and there are usually two tiers: free, and a second tier where you pay for a blow test. They can make some recommendations on making your home more energy efficient.

  • Workers Shouldn’t Have to Risk Their Lives in Heat Waves
  • Both Florida and Texas were, in the not-very-distant past, within reach of the Democrats and were slept turning bluer. The Republicans in both Florida and Texas know exactly what they're doing: preserving those precious, precious electoral college votes for the Republicans. Anything else is a bonus, a distraction for the left, or both.

  • Workers Shouldn’t Have to Risk Their Lives in Heat Waves
  • It already is. A bunch of red states states are denying climate change, forbidding consideration of climate change in zoning and development decisions, removing references from government documents, forbidding it from getting taught in school, etc.

    This particular article is probably in reference to Florida recently passing a law saying that employers are not required to give outside workers rest or water breaks in the heat.
