I’m So Hot
August 9, 2025
Meaning… Davis is hot right now.. we’ve hit three digit temps after weeks of incredibly pleasant (and unusually cool) summer weather. I am a sweaty Betty.
I’m also hot, as in angry. Enraged about literally too many things to innumerate at the moment. This is but ONE of those many horrific things: the cutting of 1.1 billion dollars of funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the entity that oversees PBS and NPR. A few days after Congress voted on this rescission package, CPB announced on Aug 1 they were shutting down their operation. The fate of PBS and NPR is uncertain; the stations that rely less on federal funding and more on local viewer/listener dollars may fare better. But for sure this is an arrow to the heart for so many of us who rely on NPR for daily news.
The nerve of that asshole.
