9) ServPro engaged on Friday, they're impressive, my house is full of giant-ass green dehumidifiers and also they cut into a bunch of walls and used their magic dowsing wands and stuff. haven't seen a report from them yet but that capture is done

A harrowing visual of the smoke from 100 wildfires burning across northern Ontario, Canada. Climate change is making fires all around the world more unpredictable and dangerous. We to stop climate pollution from coal, oil and gas if we want to secure a safer future for all. Data: NASA GEOS-FP

Smoke's back 🫩

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.

Going outside this morning

good morning from Akron Ohio

hear that everybody?! my explosive diarrhea is ‘normal’, ok? NORMAL!!1!

Really happy with Mayor Mamdani's messaging and NYC's response to the current air quality emergency. NYC is offering free masks, keeping cooling centers open, and spreading the word about these resources. They are also amplifying EPA's very easy to follow activity guidance (1/4)

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3w ago

Air quality has reached unhealthy levels in parts of NYC due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. Poor air quality affects everyone, but some people are more sensitive to it than others, including people with heart or lung conditions, older adults, pregnant New Yorkers, and infants and children.

when i see that the AQI is unhealthy for sensitive groups as a member of sensitive groups

“no talking about climate change and wildfires tonight" why? "you talk about it everytime, it's embarrassing" ok [after one beer] uh oh y'all it's gettin kinda hazy
