Let's check in and see which decade has the highest summer temperature for the Contiguous U.S. Note: the 1930s in the U.S. were a wild outlier compared to the rest of the globe.

Jesus Christ watch this and share it everywhere, finally a journalist just *saying* it

A McDonald's declaring it will not serve a mask-wearing customer is the equivalent of McDonald's Corporation saying it will not serve someone with HIV or cancer or immunocompromised. Shameful. And ridiculously illegal. Human rights lawsuits written all over this.

"Active shootings were 62.5% less likely to occur in gun-free establishments than in gun-allowing places. Therefore, it is very unlikely that active shooters are targeting gun-free zones; conversely, gun-free zones may be protective."
