Yeah sure, clear more land for development, Australia, it’s not like the lack of trees will dry everything out and raise temperatures in a place that is already dangerously hot. What’s a heat island? Oh, look, fire!

Oh, you didn’t even clear those trees for anything important planned and just stuck up a sign saying “new industrial opportunities!” Boy, that sure was worth cutting into a previously protected forest and killing a bunch of endangered koalas and quolls for!

Oh look, the slop warehouse you replaced that native forest with has a koala for a logo! We sure love our national icons! I wonder where all the real koalas went?

    Currently stuck in a walled bougistani compound in the arid, exotic deserts of so-cal and I can report the people running this planet are the most banal idiots you can imagine.

    Ever get invited (so they can gawk at the member of the poors in the room and have an audience for their own meritocratic autoerotic tales of perseverance and individualism) to an actual wine tasting event? Shit sucks. Don’t recommend, not even to get a buzz. Not worth it.

        Also I can;t drink for medical reasons.

        I don’t feel like you’re missing much.

        One of the wisest decisions I ever made during my wedding planning was making it alcohol free; made everyone I didn’t like leave early and those I cared about stayed the entire time.
