I hate listening to the local NPR weather. It’s always “it’ll be cooler today with fog in the morning and highs in the high 50s, increasing to mid 60s inland… and it will be 180 degrees and raining ash from wildfires in Sacramento”.

Was in a dive bar tonight in the far western Chicago burbs hanging out with truckers who were fruit shippers. They were talking about how when truck refrigerators break on very hot days, that their banana shipments explode. It was without question the greatest bar conversation that I've ever heard.

It’s honestly so disrespectful and irresponsible that the national media has mostly ignored the DC33 city worker strike in Philly so far. It’s a huge story with massive implications for the 6th biggest city in the country.

Philly is in its first municipal strike in the social media age. Does that affect how events are unfolding?
So far, the national press has largely ignored Philadelphia's first strike by city workers since 1986.

Whether or not the tragedy of the Texas floods could have been averted will be sorted out in time. The devastation is still unfolding, and it is already unfathomable, Jesssica Winter writes.
