Last time Australia had a very hot and dry summer, the whole country caught fire (summer of 2019/2020).

We’ve now had three very wet summers in a row, probably great for plant & tree re growth.

So a very hot very summer next year could get a little problematic.

I personally love hot and dry weather though. So there’s that!

Time to remind everyone that Ruby Bridges is still alive and only in her mid-60's, and therefore the teens throwing rocks at her are in their mid-70's; that MLK, Anne Frank, Ursula K LeGuin and Barbara Walters were all born in the same year, and King was assassinated mere months after he shifted his organizing focus from race to economic inequality and began working across racial lines to demand things like public housing, universal health care, and universal basic income.

I am a hundred percent in agreement that this is appalling. I am 100 percent in agreement that having people detained with no due process i preposterous. I am also 100 percent over being lectured by other countries with their own atrocious nonsense going on, especially while once again the world won't take a collective shit and stand up for itself against yet another regional dictator (call Vlad what you want, they are Europe far east) who is no where near our shores, invades a European country without real cause or consequence. I won't throw shade at the people who live there with the nonsense that I 'don't WANT to hate [insert country here] but you should do this, do that. So on. It's just like - sit down we all doing the same shit across the world.
