Whenever someone foreign asks me about the Australian climate I'm always like, "No! It doesn't really get cold here, don't worry! We basically never get snow in major cities. Even the hail turns to water within seconds."

This is true. It doesn't get cold in Australian major cities, comparatively.

But the other truth is that the WHO says 18 C° (64.4° fahrenheit) is a safe and "well-balanced" indoor residential temperature, and I am not sure that I have ever lived in a house in which 18° can be maintained inside during winter. Studies back me up on this. We know Australians have higher rates of cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and mental illness because of it. It's like when they were building houses here they just went "Well it can be easy to cool or easy to heat. Pick one." And I think they must have asked this question in February, not July.

All this to say: my heater is on and I am wearing a hoodie in bed and I am. so cold. brrrrrr.

January 25, 2024 - A day before the celebration of "Australia day" the statue of Captain Cook in St. Kilda, Australia, was sawn off at the ankles, with the words "The Colony Will Fall" painted on the statue's plinth.

You know that Twink who goes through all those weird ass cookbooks from history to actually check if they're good or not?

That's what Issac Newton did for alchemy.

i really want them to keep Rockstar Lestat in the 80s despite the modern action happening in 2020 bc imagine being Daniel. in your 20s you interview this dude who bitches about his ex and scars you for life, emotionally and physically. you meet him again, now near the end of your life, you listen to him bitch about the same ex again, now in more nuanced manner, and it turns out he was talking about the lead singer of fucking Metallica

capitalists will literally be like "it's cheaper to address homelessness by installing hostile architecture and hoping they all die rather than giving them a place to live" and bootlickers will be like "sounds good to me"

I hate it when I talk wistfully about the ancient world and then people are like “you wouldn’t survive back then” yeah obviously I would die immediately but do you think achilles would be able to survive in the modern world if he had to send one polite email? no
