What if even Death Valley gets too hot? - Vox

It sounds pretty strange that Death Valley might soon become too hot to open for visitors...

But, the hottest place on Earth keeps hitting record temps every year now!

What's worse is that these high temps are spreading outside of the area!!

This kind of heat is a well known killer of normal folk like you or me...

Every year, the high temps basically smother many, mostly poor people.

And, that's in places that are usually far from Death Valley - where you can literally cook to death...

It's high time that Big Oil pays for the deadly side effects of their main product - gasoline.

Or, stops pumping it - something that's quite impossible for them to contemplate!

So, expect worse heatwaves, more deaths - human, plant & animal!!

Hopefully, some of the scientific work been done, will find a non-polluting answer to our most 'suicidal' problem.

End.

1, 4, 5 & 6 please! 📚

01. what’s something you read recently and enjoyed? while i was on holiday last month i read 2 mystery/thriller books that were fun "beach" reads! one was the it girl by ruth ware, which is about a woman re-investigating the murder of her best friend and oxford roommate almost a decade ago after the man who was convicted of her killing dies and questions start to arise. it was a fun, easy read that i devoured on my flight over to dublin.

the other book was two nights in lisbon by chris pavone, which is about a woman on vacation in lisbon with her husband who goes missing and all that unfolds after she tries to report it to the police and what it unearths about their pasts.

both books have similar structures, in that you're reading the main character in the present while big chunks (or, in the case of the it girl, every other chapter) is set in the past so you're following two different timelines concurrently.

Wind's journey Sketches from his previous adventure

[nothingbutnowhere]

I'm just imagining getting Simon to take better care of himself. Which includes using actual cleanser instead of scrubbing his face with dish soap to get the eyeblack off, using proper moisturizer so his face doesn't get so itchy under the mask, and treating his acne. Salicylic acid proves to be not enough, so you show him how to use benzoyl peroxide. ("A little goes a long way, so I better not see this half empty tomorrow.")

And it's working! His skin is looking better and he even seems pleased about it!

Eventually he's called for a mission and you send him off with his skin care, making him promise to use it, and to get home safe.

24 hours later your phone pings in Simon's special ringtone. You hurry to check the message. And burst out laughing at the picture of his mask laying on the bed, face print bleached orange from the benzoyl peroxide.

Another message pings, this time from Johnny, a picture of Simon looking confused with his bleached mask on.

"were callin him lt pumpkin now"
