People have been told to head to the beach and get ready to jump in the water to avoid the fires in Mallacoota and Batemans Bay.

That's nuts. The amount of carbon in the air blocks out most of the spectrum of the sun's light. Red is the spectrum that travels the furthest, thus the creepy red light.

It was like this in Colorado when that redneck lady started those mountain fires.

it was like this when my country had the (allegedly man-made) forest fire this year, and those pro-regime goons still saying it was a complete natural phenomenon but ignoring that the cause of the fire are the palm oil field expansion.

Would have been good but the (volunteer!!!) firefighters dont have the numbers, equipment or the financial support to accomplish that anymore. Yeah our corrupt government budget cut the (volunteer!!!) firefighters, in some cases firing our few full time firefighters and then asking them to come back as volunteers, and then our prime minister went on holidays for like 2 weeks during these bush fires. Id be so much angrier than I am if i didnt keep reminding myself our stupid population voted for this

You know, I'd say the government dropped the ball on evacuation, but it looks like the whole damn country is on fire right now, where the hell do you run? I mean, besides Tasmania, but that can't hold every one.

Marginally, they have about 12 or so ones going right now. Not nearly as much lost as NSW. Small miracles and whatnot.

People really underestimate just how fast a wild fire spreads. I'm surprised the tires didn't melt.

I put night light mode on for the first time on Windows 10 yesterday, set it to 100, that's how my screen looked.

I hope as many people as possible are able to find rescue and escape that hellscape. Had to deal with it some times living on the West coast with the California wildfires and it could get nervewracking.

It's not hard when you understand that liberal has always meant centrist. I'm american and haven't called myself a liberal in years because of that. I just say leftist. If anyones using liberal wrong its the average american

Yep even in Canada the Liberals are the "centre" party. The American political system as a whole may be shifted further to the right when compared to other countries but the whole two-party thing just makes it even messier.

I don't think they are using it wrong. It just has a different meaning.

Is America using the word "Fanny" wrong because in the UK it means vagina?

No.
