Just have to watch the drop boxes to make sure no one lights them on fire.

We've been dealing with this shit for far too fucking long...
I know that all the big stars hate me to say this, but I don’t want to risk 80 peoples’ jobs just to say I got big huevos on The Tonight Show, because that’s what happens. I think a big star just sprained an ankle doing a stunt, and 80 or 180 people are out of a job.
We have stunt people who do that stuff, and if they get hurt, I’m sorry to say but they just need to put a mustache on another Mexican and we can keep going. But if I get hurt, everybody’s out of a job. So I don’t choose to do that.

heatwaves everywhere.....
Agreed. Some numbers for Phoenix this year -
70
The number of days this year of 110° or hotter, which is a new record. The previous record was 55 days, set in 2023
138
The number of days this year of 100° or hotter. The current record is 145 days, set in 2020. We are going to cool down a bit after the weekend, so we'll be sitting at about 142. But, the latest we've ever had a 100° day is October 27th, so we've still got an outside shot at setting a new record.
113
The number of consecutive days this year of 100° or hotter. The previous record was 76 days, set in 1993.
16
The number of current days in a row of setting / tying a new all-time high each day. This streak started on September ~~25th~~ 23rd and is expected to go through Monday, likely putting the total at 20. The previous record anywhere in the US for a streak like this was 14, set in Iowa in 1936 during the Dust Bowl.

Yeah, I'm neurodivergent and have a terrible memory. My life is full of alarms and notes and reminders for everything, otherwise nothing gets done.
While I'm well aware of the insidiousness of tech's ever increasing privacy violations, I also look forward to things like AI being able to function as a full blown personal assistant to help me run my life.
I do Top/6hrs, but will jump over to Hot if I've been scrolling too long and run out of content.
