Can't Wait For 'Dante's Peak' To Become The Next IRL 90s Disaster Movie 🥺
It’s that magical time of a ‘20s summer where your concrete apartment stays warm 24 hours a day (despite SF supposedly being known for its cold season in July) and your mother is sending you screen shots of the horrific heatwave in Phoenix (‘Phoenix ties record streak with 18 consecutive days over 110 degrees as the Southwest swelters under a deadly heat wave’, CNN). Also, Tom Winter tweeted that the 2004 environmental disaster film The Day After Tomorrow predicted the heat domes that are wrecking havoc on weather systems, and if you’ll excuse me, I need to curl up in a blanket burrito and ignore the world for a bit.
Wow, so that’s a fun note to kick things off with, ain’t it?

Ed Zitron, forever (and thankfully) on the ‘bosses need to get their shit together’ beat, wrote a great piece on how management’s reliance on generative AI for what used to be entry-level tasks reveals they never had the patience to train or mentor : ‘Gen Z is headed for a career calamity’ (Business Insider)
Coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool: ‘Women in Leadership Face Ageism at Every Age’ (HBR). Well, if we’re damned at whichever age we choose, I plan on going full sea witch, thankyouverymuch.
But at least we have this, I guess? ‘The MAGA persecution complex is eating itself to death’ (The Washington Post)
I cannot describe my dislike of RFK Jr. and the other vanity campaigns that will help Trump to a second term in polite terms (yea, you see? That sucks. Read it again. It could happen if these bozos keep doing their shenanigans.) ‘This Is the Time for Quixotic, Corrosive Campaigns? Seriously?’ (TNR)
And I mean, can someone give the author of this piece a pulitzer or buy them a frozen yogurt or something? This lede alone: “Page Six regrets to report that a press dinner to boost Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign descended into a foul bout of screaming and polemic farting Tuesday night.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. press dinner explodes in war of words and farting (NY Post)
They also reported on this disgusting behavior coming out of Camelot: ‘RFK Jr. says COVID may have been ‘ethnically targeted’ to spare Jews’ What a dangerous buffoon.
Alright, that’s it! Drink some water, check your AirVisual app before you go outside, tell a friend you love them, and be kind to each other, won’t you?
