Yesterday parts of the US south experienced wetbulb temperatures up to 94F (34.5C). At these temperatures, no amount of shade or hydration can save you. Without AC, you die. And this is just the beginning.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The author is conflating "Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature" (WBGT) with "Wet-bulb temperature" (WBT). The temperatures displayed in the map and discussed in the article are referring to WBGT.
Recommendations for high WBGT: weather.gov/tsa/wbgt

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

It's a real success story; one that other counties can replicate with the right policies.
This Iowa county bucked a regional trend thanks to wind energy development and reduced property taxes for its residents.

Not sure which day, but at some point this week the Supreme Court will rule on student debt relief.
You should know that Justice Alito took unreported luxury fishing trips paid for by billionaire Paul Singer—the same billionaire funding the lawsuits against student debt relief.

Two dozen white supremacists are outside the main Disney World entrance in Orlando right now, marching with signs featuring Gov DeSantis’s face, swastikas, the n-word and homophobic slurs.
This is the 2023 Republican Party.

Very handy site, especially for folks with ADHD etc!
Put in a task, click the magic wand, and it'll break the task down into a pretty decent list of subtasks.
Lots of good customization options, can edit / add / delete / rearrange at will

"What life changes will you have to make if student loan payments resume?"
We posed this question on our Instagram last night and got several hundred responses:
1. Delay starting a family
2. Can't afford my cancer treatments
3. Quit my pain management for rheumatoid arthritis

Our school has a rule against bullying, 3rd grader Justice says. This law is “bullying by the state.”
They urge JCPS not to comply.

Hello from the JCPS VanHoose Center, where students, parents and activists are calling on @JCPSKY not to comply with the state’s new anti-trans law. (SB150)

I like that they removed the only part of the name that actually told you what it was so then had to create a tagline to explain it.

By the by: Last night while reading The Magician's Nephew to the boys, we hit the scene where Jadis's skin turns salt-white -- and my 9yo finally figured out who Jadis is.
His face lit up. "It's HER! THAT'S where she comes from!"
You don't get *that* with chronological order.

Honestly, I do not know what red states are gonna do. Who will deliver babies in your state? You are already seeing a decline in residency applications for ob-gyn spots. Here's the rub, med students get engaged and marry who they meet in their bubble. I did. /1
