This has nothing to do with anything but it’s the greatest headline I’ve ever seen

This article is amazing

I’d put my favourite quotes from the article up, but it’s the whole dang article.

“It’s just so shocking,” Claire Simeone, a veterinarian and monk seal
expert based in Hawaii, told The Washington Post on Thursday. “It’s an
animal that has another animal stuck up its nose.”

honestly, out of all the games that might have patch notes reading “fixed a Geneva convention violation”, Stardew Valley was not one I expected.

Lol?!?

This far from the first game to do so. This specific Geneva Conventions violation is so common in video games the Red Cross itself has had to tell the industry to knock it off.

My favorite part of it all is that it makes “Neopets violated the Geneva Conventions in the early 2000s” a completely true sentence.

there have been flash floods in sydney, with rainfall of up to 70mm and rainfall of up to 200mm predicted. this is way over novembers average – in only a few hours.

there is a massive heatwave in queensland, with many heat records for november being broken for the first time in 50-60 years. im talking temperatures of 40-45 degrees.

it is freezing in southern victoria. there was abnormal snow in many of our mountains, hail in the cities, and melbourne is currently still experiencing our august-september weather with a small amount of 30 degree days chucked in.

i would say that this is “just strayan weather hardy har” but it isnt. this is severely abnormal, and truly indicative of the climate change our planet is undergoing.

autralia is falling way behind in our part of the paris climate agreement, and the liberal party refuses to address the problem.

in the federal election next year i urge all of you over 18 to vote labor. let’s DO something before it’s too late.
