There's an excessive heat warning where I live (it's summer), and all the recommendations are things that I don't think really need to be stated. "Drink fluids, stay out of the sun, wear lightweight clothes." Like, yeah those are all good ideas. But do we really need Official Advice&tm; about how to not get too hot? Related: Unnecessary advice. #health

Social media commentary

From On the Media's interview with former Buzzfeed person Ben Smith, concerning the current state of social media:
I think the late social media world gives you this illusion of a debate and of seeing all perspectives, but really what it's doing is it's a machine for elevating the dumbest version of the argument you hate and showing it to you constantly and convincing you that people who you disagree with are just utter morons all the time.
This is fine. #technology
