While I wholly support this bit of righteous outage… most of the comments here are going to be about the grid and the Republicans.

[–] venorathebarbarian 4 points 2 years ago

... right. Because republicans control Texas and the grid. A grid that already killed people a couple years ago. A grid that people aren't convinced the republican leadership has fixed. A grid that's being heavily used under this heatwave. That just makes sense to me.

What else would you expect in the comments? I expect talk about climate change, the grid, and how republicans have fucked up both of those things. I don't expect people to be saying, "Sure is a scorcher today!", Or casual chats about lemonade recipes. Those days are gone.
