The last episode of season 7 of #Stargate #SG1 is a favourite. As is #BruceSpringsteen. Art is exceptional. The US is meant to be exceptional. The shit #FelonPresident & corrupt #WhiteHouse responsible for the murder of US citizens is not exceptional. ⚖️ 🇺🇸

8 days in a row with temperatures well above 40°C. All the way up to 50°C. This used to be unprecedented. No more. Protracted extreme heatwaves are the new normal. Do Earth's leaders care? It'd be cool (pun!) if @albomp.bsky.social decided to lead the world on undeniable #ClimateAction.

Australian government, from @albomp.bsky.social down, have the opportunity to act decisively for all Australians. Sure, it matters what other nations do.

What will it take for genuine #ClimateAction? Why risk an epic, planet sized disaster? We say we're smart. It's telling we don't say we're wise. This "heatwave is also notable ... seven to eight consecutive days above 40°C ... the longest stretch since the 1930s in parts of NSW." 💔 🇦🇺 🌏 🔥 #HeatDome

Victoria is still burning. But, not to worry, Earth's big! And, we all understand big. It's like lots. For example, let's count past 10.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 lots.

How easy was that!

And, we all know there's lots of Earth to burn before it's gone.

So it's all sweet!

"women are more likely to be killed by someone they know."

The 2010-2022 National Plan "apparently" had lessons that informed the 2022-2032 National Plan. It's almost halfway to 2032. How's the new plan working out?
