You are with resistance politics or you are against resistance politics: Opposing fascism isn't going to make you feel cool. Get over it. From Bad Faith Times by LunchCounterPunch. "This arrangement of words – 'woke became too cringe' – is an insult, not an idea; a facile fabrication of a commentariat that is all hedge masquerading as edge. There’s not even a lie here.

Purple Air is the place to go when you suddenly see smoke in your local sky. The air quality number that shows up in your weather app is a 12-hour average, so it's pretty much useless when things are changing quickly. Purple Air, on the other hand, is a map that lets you zoom to your location and shows you the most recent 10 minutes of data from nearby air quality monitors. A handy thing to know about these days.

We don’t have a culture of convenience in North America. We have a CULT of convenience.

Cycling is entirely legal, and it is enraging to the believer."
