one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

The 2009 heatwave killed 374 people. But that doesn’t tell us all the stats: the people who suffered kidney issues or stroke or heart attack. And those numbers will be much higher
Heat is nasty, and it will kill.
Report by Victoria's chief health officer, Dr John Carnie, put the final figure at 374 for the 2009 Heatwave.
