Just buy the air conditioner! Your body will thank you!

“Europe has long resisted air conditioning as noisy, an eyesore on architectural facades and unnecessary, as brutal summer heat has been relatively short-lived. It also fears widespread adoption of the energy-hungry technology risks undermining the fight against climate change.”

☹️ All because fuel prices skyrocketed (pun not intended).

@Eriatolc Heat can be deadly. Plus, more heat means more water usage in an attempt to stay cool. I would turn on the AC in order to avoid baking in the heat!

Are people in #Europe really anti air conditioning‽

“According to the International Energy Agency, only around 20% of European households have air conditioning, compared with roughly 90% in the United States and Japan.”

👉🏾 The American mind cannot comprehend Europe's AC aversion https://www.businessinsider.com/europe-air-conditioning-ac-heatwave-debate-2026-6

I know everyone wants to save on power & electricity, but when it is hot, the AC goes on!

Finally some good news. I am not sure how long it will last, but I will take it!

Whoa! These home grown terrorists were far more prepared than I had previously thought.

Decentralized, encrypted communications‽ it was not just weapons & drones.

@zuck, @mosseri & @conno_r (latter leads #Threads) are in a celebratory mood. Still no word on when an iPad app will ship, or full #Fediverse support will be adopted.

@TerryHancock Thanks for the explanation! I am actually shocked the government was able to detect & secure the terrorists! Kudos to the intelligence agencies!

Now all I have to do is wait until November elections. 🤞🏾

Okay, buried in this story is the fact that one of these home grown American terrorists was sympathetic towards Hitler.

Also, is there a fringe group of Christian extremists on the left‽ Most Christian nationalists support #Trump.

Why am I not surprised‽ #Iran 🇮🇷 is keeping the Strait of #Hormuz closed.

👉🏾 ‘Refrain From Any Movement’ Was Broadcast to Ships, Not to Geneva https://houseofsaud.com/irgc-refrain-from-movement-broadcast-ships-not-geneva/

How can this be a deal if both sides disagree what is in the deal‽ #Iran 🇮🇷 & #America 🇺🇸 are saying two different things!

For better or worse, this will definitely affect the #Fediverse.

On the tech industry side, ID verification will become standard across all devices (phones, computers, tablets) & all operating systems.

👉🏾 Britain will ban under-16s from social media apps, including TikTok and YouTube https://www.npr.org/2026/06/15/nx-s1-5858644/britain-social-media-ban

While #Europe, #Asia & #Oceania are embracing these bans & demanding ID verification on tech devices, the #GOP & #Trump in #America 🇺🇸 are pushing back. Irony has a sense of humor I guess.

One third of the population in #Switzerland 🇨🇭 are foreigners‽ I did not know that!

That aside, what nation would adopt a bizarre strategy of capping your entire population to under 10 million‽ Population control measures are idiotic, & historically disastrous.

I did not even know the former Canadian Prime Minister was dating Katy Perry!

I can see why Canadians are upset, after Trudeau watched America 🇺🇸 play but skipped his home country.
