Summary

I've got thoughts and lots of them. How do we as progressives criticize Democrats without damaging our future? Is someone who thinks the DNC is corrupt more left than I am, or more.. something else? No prison stocks didn't go up because of Kamala Harris. Julian Assange is an absolute crap. And lots more.

I'm going to say one good thing about the fires.

1:01.0

No, I'm going to say two good things about the fires.

1:03.2

Everything is awful obviously and fires are terrible and people's lives are at stake

1:07.1

and their houses are getting lost that of course it's awful. I'm going to say two good

1:10.7

things against all the bad things. First good thing, it's supposed to be 110

1:15.2

today, 108, 109, 110, depending on the forecast. The smoke really really keeps that temperature down actually when the sky is ash and smoke

1:27.2

It's about 99 degrees I think something like that 9900 degrees which believe or not is a lot cooler than 108 109 makes a big difference

2:28.1

uh I'm always negative I'm always pessimistic I just found two good things about the fires that are horrible and
