Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

My favorite part of the US doing horrible shit is every time it happens there is a segment of the population who says "this isn't who we are!" As though they are 12 years old.

Cannot reiterate this strenuously enough: heatwaves are a public health crisis. They kill. Take action to protect yourself
And the heatwave preceding the 2009 Black Saturday fires caused 374 excess deaths, more than twice the number of people who died in the fires themselves. Heatwaves kill. Take them seriously, stay safe

Ich werde nie vergessen wie ich vor einiger Zeit mit einem der höchsten Beamten für Sabotageabwehr (Deutschland) am Podium saß und er sehr trocken und offen meinte, dass er gar nicht so viele Leute einstellen kann wie Russland Sabotage verübt oder es versucht.
Apropos Berlin:

Wer für Vance "Vans" schreibt, kennt den Namen (nur oder vorwiegend) aus der üblichen kyrillischen Schreibung. Ванс.

Und wer Giffey schreibt und gleich in der nächsten Zeile Giffay, kennt auch diesen Namen wohl nur aus der kyrillischen Umschrift. Гифай.

Councils MUST develop proper cool zone plans. Safe spaces so people don't have to share tips like this about how to not die. (This is not hyperbole; people literally die in heatwaves). Underground stations can also get hella hot; we're asking people to choose how they suffer. 🥵

- Bollywood movies typically go for 4 hrs
- you can spend all day sitting on an underground train platform and no one will ask you to leave as long as you stay quiet. My favourite is Melbourne Central

I don't understand why people use music streaming services, how is that more convenient than simply having an Italian grandma sing at them

If you can't do corporate, look techy. I have waited (actually waited) in countless lobbies, and the mix of t-shirt, functional pants, backpack, and laptop has always secured me a spot, sometimes for hours.

Bathroom access as well, just walk with purpose

I regularly amazes me that it keeps working

And before some smart arse goes... "but it is summer"... in the last decade we have had 14 days over 40c or 0.35 percent.

The kicker 8 of the days over 40c were in the 2019/2020 Black Summer.

Over 40c for metro Melbourne is an outlier even in summer.

In addition: keep an eye on your pets, leave water out for wildlife, and if you see any cunt leave an infant or anyone else or any animal in a locked car without running a/c, you smash every window to get them out.
this is not likely to be without legal consequences, but might just save a life.
Ok, it's going to be hot in a lot of places in Victoria, South Australia and NSW (again). Let's talk staying cool.

If you wouldn't walk barefoot on a path, don't let your dog do it.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, stay out of the sun.

Know what the difference is between heat exhaustion and heat stroke and when to call an ambulance. Monitor yourself and other people in your care.

Not to minimise 45° (as someone who's had heat exhaustion multiple times at 30°) but just to illustrate things are getting really, really bad.
