LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot?
Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.

Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit treating Deshaun Watson like any other QB, and nary a mention of two dozen sexual assault allegations as part of an already disgusting “redemption” arc they’ve spent all night trying to weave is really gross.

trump is literally already distancing himself from paxton
Trump campaigns for Ken Paxton in Texas: "He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, I'll be honest. Is he here, by the way? Oh, there he is. I didn't even know if he was here! I don't care."

i suppose i’m not surprised that it is difficult to make people care about something that is low visibility — the vast majority of people have no idea who piker is — and low salience. i think we’re also going to find, for similar reasons, that the anti-trans messaging isn’t working either.
