One time a whole bunch of old people died in Britain from the heat, so I look it up and it topped out at 86 F. Weak genes.
There is a heat warning in effect here through Friday. Highs will be in the high 70s to mid 80s.

I never understood why that was necessary until I noticed a whole lot of people wearing black hoodies and knit hats standing in direct sunlight complaining about how hot it is outside.

If the North East has Yankee Ingenuity, the North West has Mossy Ineptitude.

there's pretty much only one band I freak out when I hear and turn off the radio instantaneously... there's something about them that just absolutely makes me want to kill myself. or other people. or just fucking want to break shit.
My personal circle of hell is an Aerosmith concert.

Dammit. If I had a spare $1250 I could allegedly have a new '23 Santa Cruz 5010. I'm not supposed to be broke forever and I really want the Heckler.

Ah. Streaming Unsilent Death by Nails on YT only to be interrupted by a cheerful young lady selling a Dyson air purifier. Is there a better metaphor for modern life?

Black clothing will keep you cooler if you stay in the shade because black radiates infrared. But I suppose that effect would be negated to some extent by wearing a fucking hoodie.

Black clothing will only dissipate heat faster if the ambient temperature is low, the sun radiates visible light, everything that isn't at absolute zero radiates infrared. This is if course assuming said hoody is an ideal black body.

It's quite the juxtaposition. Like VRBO ads before a sex pistols video.
I find it interesting that most of my video selections generate ads by the Dems looking for donations, but when I clicked on The Punk Rock MBA for a mini doc on Powerviolence I was presented with a Trump grift.
