I wonder how long places like Buffalo will keep up this sort of ad campaign when nice temperate spots 400 miles inland and 3000 feet in the sky can get hit by a climate catastrophe just as bad as a barrier islandI wonder how long places like Buffalo will keep up this sort of ad campaign when nice temperate spots 400 miles inland and 3000 feet in the sky can get hit by a climate catastrophe just as bad as a barrier island

I know this place has kicked up a notch ‘cause I’ll see a post that’s like “I enjoyed Alien Romulus” and then that “view full thread” thing indicating a missing chunk of conversation and then someone else saying like “well fine but I’m not saying the end of Reconstruction wasn’t a turning point”
