Our flaming hellstate (we love it folks) is not coping well with the seventeen or so overlapping disasters going on right now. Apparently we’re now operating on auxiliary power too, because it turns out privatizing your electricity grid and just trusting them.to spend the money on maintenance is a fuckheaded idea. Anyway, the plague is resurging and now I have a letter from the power company telling me to expect intermittent blackouts during the heatwave, but also they’re gonna start charging me more.

Can’t wait for the collapse tbh

My town nearly got burned down by the Thomas Fire in 2017. Something like a year later I went to an arthouse type place for a screening of a documentary about the fire. I was blown away that they did not once mention inmate fire crews.

If anyone is interested in learning about those prisoners, there’s two really good episodes of Season of the Bitch (30 & 31) where they talk to someone who was either one of these firefighters or knew people who were, I forget.

I remember wondering, a decade ago, if the UN’s prediction that climate change would light the usa on fire would be a good thing.

‘Surely this is a lucky break; surely literally the most extreme/impressive/shock and awe outcome of climate change possible is hitting just the right place to wake up the people in the heart of empire’

Australia and the Amazon are burning too

Yeah, but to be fair the Amazon is only on fire because of our insatiable love of cheap, shitty, hamburgers, rather than our insatiable love of cheap, shitty energy.
