Shoutout to Johan (and the entire 3sixteen team) for his awesome 2025 post. It’s so nice knowing that my favorite store carrying my favorite brands are all led by great people. So excited for 2026. Also, very excited me and my IHSH 24 got to make a cameo in the attached photo.

@Tago-Mago makes the weather here look almost tropical!

It's been over 40 degrees here (105 Freedom degrees), so a little fire has started to keep us warm.
The red area is considered at real risk of being incinerated; the orange is you might want to get out of there; and I think that the black outline is what's actually on fire.
I'm in Benalla, and the fire is heading southeast, so I'm not too worried. I can, however, smell smoke in the air. If you're wanting scale, it's about 105 km or 65 miles from Benalla to Seymour along the (currently closed) Hume Highway.

@Graeme man, this shit sucks so bad. You have my deepest sympathy and frustrations.
I grew up in Southern California and live in Colorado. Wild fires are just the new norm now…like mass shootings.

@Mizmazzle thanks.
This is today's emergency map. Most of the red area is considered at catastrophic risk of a bushfire, not actually burning.
My dog has the right idea.

The cool change that @Brian sent arrived this morning, and the emergency map of Victoria is no longer red.
A woman in Melbourne posted this on X, complaining that the fire advisories were an unnecessary restriction on liberty.
Lake Eildon was in the path of the bushfire yesterday. She had a lot of replies calling her out on that.
