A radical takes a suicidal action that results in the election of a moderate who terrifies slaveowners so much they secede, inciting a war that results in the overthrow of slavery, which was the goal of the radical to begin with, and the very thing the slaveowners were trying to prevent.

"As extreme weather becomes more common and disruptive, the effects can impair relationships, interrupt routines and communication, and damage gathering places and the foundations of community traditions." theconversation.com/climate-chan...

Climate change may be making us lonelier: How heat waves and extreme weather disrupt social connections everyone relies on

On extremely hot days and in the aftermath of storms, people tend to hole up inside. Losing festivals, traditions and gathering places can worsen that loneliness.

"A Cambridge professor... claimed that he had featured in the TV show Seven Up decades before he was born." Being a fan of that documentary for, like, 20 years: LOL.

The good news is I don't go to either establishment. Whether those are used at the mom-n-pops I frequent, 🤷‍♀️.

"Adan" sent this from Wapato WA where he's thinning grapevines at a non-union farm. "I earn WA minimum wage. The air quality is terrible now. But we still have to work. The rancher did not provide me with a mask. My phones' weather app says the AQI is unhealthy at 182." #WeFeedYou

I'd love @bsky.app to have it be permanent like other Settings for that garbage to stay off when I turn it off. Same with Language and color mode.

We’re rolling out improvements to trending topics right now! If you don’t already have it, you will in the next day or so. The new system catches more topics, identifies more posts within that topic, and serves them up faster, so you can feel more in tune with what everyone's talking about.

This is in my opinion the best of all the deep-time/far-future art projects, because it requires people to be there to change the notes, but the piece continues without intervention in between. You can buy tickets for the end of the performance, and gift them as inheritance to future generations.

for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!

Organ²/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) is a musical piece by John Cage.[1] An organ in St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt in 2001 began a performance that is due to end in 2640. This makes it the longest running non-computerized piece currently being performed.

You want some trivia? This is the first year since 2002 in which the Dems won't be running anyone for Senate in three states: Idaho, Nebraska, and South Dakota. There is also a push to get the nominee in Montana, Alani Bankhead to drop out. If she does, the Dems will set the party record at 4.

Democrats have already tied a party record without nominees in three states this cycle.
