Watching mushroom clouds from the beach in LA. Apocalypse...maybe not now, but soon!

There’s a heatwave in Los Angeles and much of California — something about a high-pressure system trapping the air and not letting it circulate. That, on top of global warming, means that heat records are being broken all over the place. Our crappy privatized electrical grid is having trouble handling the AC demand — and companies are rolling out targeted blackouts to dampen the load. And it’s only gonna get worse next week.
