Here’s the climate reality: Fire season in Australia has become longer since the 1950s. Bushfires (what the Northern Hemisphere calls wildfires) are also becoming more extreme, especially in southern and eastern parts of the country.

Saturday Fixture - Frick and Frack.
Werner Groebli & Hans Mauch were comedy skaters from Switzerland who entertained folk from the 30s to the 50s. Frick’s signature move was the cantilever spread-eagle. Simply side-splitting.
Bravo gentlemen.

#ExploreYourArchive #SurprisingArchives People visiting the @britishmuseum today may be surprised to learn what was previously in the space now taken up by the Great Court, including what was there before the Round Reading Room, built in the 1850s. #britishmuseum #lovearchives
I won’t get into details because that would be a spoiler but here’s an image of Chuck in the beginning and some greaser boys from the 1950s.
See the similarities?
The fact is most teens weren’t greasers and most greasers... were just chill. 10% of greaser gangs were violent in the 1950s.
Now for writing purposes the gang in Heartbreak Hotel is meant to bridge both. They’re just friends that chill but obviously the story has violence.

🦊 A different style and unique #fox I made for a friend. My inspiration was the 80s as I’m feeling it’s really making a comeback in society, which I’m totally all for in the #vintagestyle I’m trying to capture lately of the 80s, 60s, and 50s. #rockyjune

#OTD 1959, Hawai'i becomes 50th US state, but @Interior's connection dates to 1898 US annexation of Hawaiian Islands, when responsibility for relations was assigned to Interior. Most Hawaiian artifacts in @InteriorMuseum's collection, like this pandanus fan, are from 1930-50s.
