    Previous high for Las Vegas was on July 26 1931. This record likely won’t last a month.

    I used to watch a youtuber who does skateboarding videos and he lives somewhere in las vegas. I just watched random videos every now and then. One day he was on the street, looking for spots and he said how brutal the weather was at this time of the year/day, because there is no shade. That’s when i first realised that i’ve never really been in a concrete hell like that. I started to look more in the background and the infrastructure and it was miserable. He was pretty much the only person walking around.

    There’s a few cities around the world that are emblematic of human hubris and stupidity, Vegas is one to them. Along with Miami and Phoenix.
