8 hours since the fireworks started and the air quality is just starting to improve. But it's still unhealthy.

Not good at all at 1:05 AM. Anacostia getting crushed.

Anyone know how often airnow.gov gets updated? This is from midnight around when the fireworks started. Wind out of the west.

Old enough to remember special McD's cups being made of glass, not plastic.

2 glass Star Wars glasses from McDonalds. One shows Han & Chewy, the other shows R2D2 & C3PO

6 plastic McDonalds cups showing FIFA world cup stars. And grimace. Balanced on a tray balanced on a 2026 World Cup ball

My (admittedly limited) understanding is that state & local health departments would work with CDC to manage safe & expedient transportation to level 1 treatment centers. The logistics would be complicated but doable. netec.org/nsps/

Can't speak for the AI assistant, but my timeline seems to think you should have pineapple on your pizza.

2 Bluesky posts. The first says "I really don't think I need an AI assistant to "help me order pizza" in an app devoted to ordering pizza.

The second includes a picture of a pineapple (presumably to be included on the aforementioned pizza).

While I wouldn't eat ice cream off my dachshund mix's back, it would be hilarious to watch him try to eat it.

This could be the start of a really annoying thread.

Aww. I've always been a sucker for black pups.

Tried once, wasn't too crazy about the result, so tried again. Seems I'll spend 2026 dodging ROUSes in the fire swamp.

According to wiki, you're spot on with the Old Norse root of ghyll. Looks like they both come from Old Norse but not the same root word.
