A temperature chart for my fellow Americans who can’t do the Celsius-Fahrenheit equation from memory and for people in the civilized countries who’re too busy making fun of Fahrenheit to do the conversions themselves.

Alright, lads. A while ago I may have made some cryptic posts about a mushroom. This is where it all comes out in the wash.

I live on a half-acre property on the edge of the country. It’s not enormous, and most of it is lawn. As such, my family and I tend to have a pretty good idea of what goes on there. You can imagine our surprise, then, when our yard spawned a baseball, seemingly out of nowhere.

It wasn’t a baseball, though.

It was Cal.

Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play a significant role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer viable. While some individuals could produce, the limited number of koalas makes the long-term viability of the species unlikely and highly susceptible to disease.

I mean.

I knew that Australia was on fire, but I didn’t take the next step in logic to realize that the species that lived in some of the trees of the continental brushfire would take such a severe hit from it.

At least some polar bears have wandered south and crossed with grizzlies as an alternative to starving and drowning in the increasingly iceless Arctic. Koalas have no such luck. Their survival needs are too specific. They’re done for.

Nuffink in a scottish accent: Evenin, Chief!

Hiccup: Son. Why are you talking like that? And why aren’t you calling me dad?

Nuffink: Gobber’s teachin’ me to talk like Grandpa!

Hiccup: Oh?

Nuffink: ‘Says all the great men of Berk sound like this!

Astrid: Nuffink. You’re a little boy. Not a man yet.

Nuffink: Are you sure about that, Lassie?

Hiccup: Nuffink. Do not call your mother Lassie.

Based on current projections, 2019 will see India’s lowest increase in CO2 emissions in 20 years.

This is due to a slow in demand for oil, an increase in renewable energy, and a decrease in coal-based energy. India has one of the “dirtiest energy systems in the world”, but renewable energy is growing fast enough to meet around 70% of the increase in energy demand.

my bf has many interesting stories and observations from his new job as a 911 operator

my favorite is how meandering people are, even in the midst of a terrible emergency

they respond to “what is the emergency” with “well, the thing is, four weeks ago–”

and then he’s like “WHAT IS THE EMERGENCY RIGHT NOW”

and they’re like “so what happened this morning was, i said to my wife, i said–”

“WHAT IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING AT THIS MOMENT”

“oh i’m having a heart attack”

my second favorite is how specific he has to get sometimes

like, “what is your emergency?”

“i’m sitting in a pool of blood.”

“… is it… your blood?”

“yes i think so”

“do you know where it’s coming from?”

“probably the stab wound”

“have you been stabbed?”

“oh yah definitely”

“DIGNITY”: Chile has had enough

We’re not protesting because of the subway ticket price (”it’s not 30 pesos, it’s 30 years!” as we scream in the streets), that’s just was the last straw:

We’ve been feeling anger and humiliation for years, and last week, the “pressure cooker” finally exploted thanks of this rise in the subway tickets which made high schoolers around the city say “fuck this” and deciding not to pay the subway anymore under the motto “Evade! Do not pay! (it’s) another way to fight!”

Little by little, the university students and adults (even the elderly) joined the cause, to the point the capital stopped working normally, and due to the government’s ineffectiveness in handling the situation, we ended up in this chaos.

This has no political party, this has no leader: This is an act of dignity.

Years of hoping the government will do something for: The education system (you only get good education if you have money), healthcare system (people die waiting for attention everyday in the public hospitals, in some, there is not even enough medicine or doctors), public transport system (expensive, terrible service), the rise in water and electricity bills (yes, they’re private!!!), pensions (old people commit suicide because they have no money to live, or worse, have some, but the pension system (AFPs) won’t give them THEIR OWN MONEY BACK WHEN IN NEED), collusions, corruption (our president is a thief and the rest of the politicians as well… and they want us to pay those expensive tickets without even explaining to us why did they rise it? they can fuck off), the indigenous people being mistreated and even murdered by police, the murder of activists, poverty, drugs, etc… and nothing, in fact, for years it has feel like they’ve been making fun of all of us.

They’re absolutely disconnected from the reality of the rest of the country. It’s as if there were two countries in one.

And now, our president said we “were at war“.

The same thing Pinochet used to said back in the 70s/80s.

The military is on the streets right now, there is a curfew in many parts of the country (which hundreds of people are not respecting, protesting even harder on the streets in those dangerious hours).

All while there is not public transportation, because many of the subway’s station were set on fire (to make it worse, there are serious suspicions (videos) that the fires were made by the police).

This shit is terrifying.

Please support the people in Chile!
