On Saturday afternoon, the National Weather Service announced that the temperature at Phoenix Sky Harbor international airport reached 110F, making it the 54th day this year with temperatures of at least 110F.

    I am going to need to see a breakdown on deaths by political affiliation to gauge how to feel about this.

        On the other hand, conservatives (in the US, maybe elsewhere) are so consistently and universally wrong, if they all died we’d be better off.

        The disagreement isn’t like “Should we get pizza or tacos”. It’s like “Should gay people exist?” “Is climate change a thing?” “Is slavery good, actually?”

        Pretty much every problem we have is made worse by conservatives fighting to keep the status quo or reverse progress.

        Fuck them. We would be better off if they were dead.

      Well, Maricopa county (and Arizona as a whole) was pretty much evenly split last election, and in the end it came out as blue, so I think it’s not that much of a leopards situation.
