I need the White Lotus screencap of Victoria Ratcliffe saying “boat people” ASAP, I have a feeling it will come in handy in Australian politics

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Mark Hamill posting rebellious content in a battle against a dictator and his robotic sidekick is the most Star Wars shit ever.

This piece is a masterclass in how to report climate disaster.

"the fact that these fires are burning in unusually dry winter months has highlighted how climate change is reshaping fire seasons around the world"

Jo Lauder at the ABC puts the shocking LA fires in all-important context:

History repeating again

BTW there is no amount of money in the world that will make you immune from climate change impacts.
The first ever Roman fire brigade was created by Crassus. Fires were almost a daily occurrence in Rome, and Crassus took advantage of the fact that Rome had no fire department, by creating his own brigade—500 men strong-which rushed to burning buildings at the first cry of alarm. Upon arriving at the scene, however, the firefighters did nothing while Crassus offered to buy the burning building from the distressed property owner, at a miserable price. If the owner agreed to sell the property, his men would put out the fire; if the owner refused, then they would simply let the structure burn to the ground. After buying many properties this way, he rebuilt them, and often leased the properties to their original owners or new tenants.
