“Fun” interaction where someone confidently stated COVID doesn’t affect the brain in response to a comment about it, and when we mentioned there is evidence to the contrary, they immediately shut down with “I don’t want to know because I can’t do anything about it”, as their life circumstances (school age children, their particular job, etc) make it hard to take precautions. All this is to say that it sucks we’ve forced people into positions of willing ignorance just to cope with helplessness

As of 5pm last night, it was indeed a massive heat related disaster on the I-15 and I-40. San Bernardino County Fire Update:

"We are actively addressing the needs of motorists stuck without water and experiencing other issues. We strongly recommend that all individuals attempting to travel northbound divert and seek alternate routes...

Numerous calls for service have been received by our dispatch center from both Interstate 40 and the 15 Freeway. These include individuals exhibiting medical conditions and heat-related emergencies. In response, County Fire has brought additional ambulances and paramedic fire apparatus to the area to address these calls."
https://www.facebook.com/SanBernardinoCountyFire

5 PM Update: Baker Incident
⚠️Northbound Closure: Northbound 15 continues to be closed with a hard closure at Afton Canyon. This is expected to be extended due to ongoing operations.
⚠️Southbound Status: The southbound 15 is currently open; however, there are periodic short closures to bring in heavy equipment and additional apparatus. CHP is coordinating these intermittent closures while emergency equipment is escorted on the opposing southbound lanes.
The San Bernardino County Fire Logistics Division has brought supplies to the Clyde V Kane Rest Stop off the northbound 15, south of Afton Canyon Road. Water has been provided at this location for motorists who are stuck without water and experiencing other issues due to heat and vehicle mechanical problems.
We are actively addressing the needs of motorists stuck without water and experiencing other issues. We strongly recommend that all individuals attempting to travel northbound divert and seek alternate routes as the closure is expected to be extended due to the hazmat and suppression operations related to the truck fire.

It appears it did trigger heat emergencies (as I suspected last night) and also looks like it disabled many vehicles (overheating?)

TIL After the US Navy lost the USS Thresher in 1963, it instituted a quality assurance program called SUBSAFE for its submarines. As a result they went from losing 16 submarines to non-combat reasons in the 48 years before, to losing only the USS Scorpion (which wasn’t SUBSAFE certified) since 1963.

Nach Ansicht von SPD-Chefin Saskia Esken sollte sich die Bundesregierung von Elon Musks Kommunikationsplattform X zurückziehen. Es sei wichtig, dass die EU über das sogenannte Gesetz über digitale Dienste «die Daumenschrauben» gegenüber der Plattform anziehe, sagte Esken dem «Handelsblatt». «Ebenso notwendig wäre es, dass Bundesregierung und Europäische Union sich endlich alternativen Plattformen für ihre Kurznachrichten-Kommunikation suchen und X nicht weiter füttern.»

Olympic opening ceremony prompts Elon Musk to opine, "Christianity has become toothless."

“Why, Elon! I didn’t know you cared!” ~ Jesus

Elon Musk joined a number of right-wing pundits including Harrison Butker to vent their fury at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.

The ceremony featured a number of drag-style performances, but the final scene of a drag-themed runway performance that drew striking resemblance to the Leonardo Di Vinci’s painting The Last Supper, is what really had MAGA world in a fit. The painting is known for its portrayal of Christ and his apostles as Jesus reveals one of them will betray him.

The number of transgender and drag queens in the performance offended many online, with Elon Musk posting on X that the performance “was extremely disrespectful to Christians.” Musk is a self-described “cultural Christian.”

I support the constitutional amendment to overturn the #SCOTUS #immunity decision.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-joint-resolution/193/text

But it will be a long slog. The amendment process is slow and difficult by design. That's not a reason to give up. It's a reason to start immediately.

The proposed amendment also bars presidential self-pardon. A much-needed step. I wish it went one step further and barred corrupt pardons, that is, pardons of the president's accomplices and co-conspirators.

I'm looking for a #pixelfed instance that is welcoming to and suitable for #musicians.

I like mastodon for text and the occasional picture but I think for images and (short) videos pixelfed is a better match.

I want to make posts about what I do as a musician, about recordings and gigs. So the instance has to be OK with this kind of self promotion.

Any ideas?

The verb "read" in some languages. Verbs have heaps of different forms of course, I have used the most common dictionary form. For English that's the infinitive, for Greek the 1. person singular, some are verbal nouns, etc.

This is where I get out of my depth. Wiktionary says the purple ones go back to PIE *leg- and the brown ones to PIE *les-. Were these two related? Surely they must have been? But I'm not sure. Any real linguists who can help put?

“The sudden ascendance of Harris, the daughter of an Indian-born mother and Jamaican-born father, has delivered a jolt of optimism to many Black and Indian-American Texans, who are more likely to vote for a Democrat.” https://www.texastribune.org/2024/07/25/kamala-harris-texas-voters-black-indian-asian/

“Pooja Sethi, an Indian American who runs the Travis County Democratic Party in Austin, said she had not even finished reading Biden’s letter announcing his decision to drop out of the race on Sunday, when her phone started pinging with text messages from people as young as 15 and as old as 80 asking how to get involved in the campaign.”

“There are at least 250,000 South Asians who are registered to vote in Texas, with the total population of eligible voters ‘closer to 400,000,’ said Rish Oberoi, the Texas state director of the Indian American Impact Fund. That outpaces the roughly 215,000-vote margin that decided the 2018 election between U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Democrat Beto O’Rourke.”
