Hahaha..... I like the notion of the fire coming out of the water. That actually would look cool and horrifying.

It could be the moment even the most skeptical have it confirmed that yes, this fire is alive.
White guy makes a comment about blowing up a Qantas plane and they had to turn around and land so he could be arrested but he gets off on bail and a court date, I wonder what would happen if it wasn't a white guy?
Racially biased justice system I think.

No offence, Australis, but no. Just no.
So are any of us even slightly surprised that NewsCorpse has been misrepresenting the facts about the role of arson in the ongoing fire nightmare? It's great that so many real news organisations have pointed out the lies of the Murdoch crowd, but that it's even necessary is beyond pathetic. That so many people will believe the NewsCorpse crap regardless of the facts is appalling, and (sadly) not the least bit surprising. What marvellous times we live in.

I am really sorry. As much as it pains me, since this is obviously such a good cause, we are not allowed to post links directly to fundraising sites. As such, I have removed your links. The organization names are still in the post, so hopefully anyone who is interested can still find the appropriate pages with the help of Google. Alternatively, PMs would also be an option.
I can scarcely imagine what all of you are going through in the midst of all the devastation that is currently happening. Best wishes to all of you, and I hope you and your families stay safe.
So sad to hear of another White Island volcano death. That poor woman to lose her daughter and now husband. I hope her surviving daughter can recover but it sounds very bad 
No offence taken. That's what I was saying, the story potential could be great, but it could be... quite hurtful. So I hesitate, and think of other stories that clamour for my attention.
Oh @Australis there was an episode of Sliders like your idea where they landed on a world with living fire, and it could communicate.
The air is terrible today, I feel like I've spent all night smoking
^ Very true. I'm kind of glad I don't have to go outside today.
Sydney is terrible. I feel so bad for them but the skyline looks so horrible there right now. I wonder how long it will take to clear up when and if the fires are all gone.
Parts of this article say some very dismal things about our country.
Puerile inter-state parochialism is insufferable enough with regard to essentially trivial things like sport. When it has the potential to impact on how fires are fought and whether or not people / animals / homes / whatever are saved, it is simply disgraceful. The sooner this sort of utterly juvenile shit goes the way of the dinosaurs the better.

I hope that the resigning Premier of Tasmania is the last of his dynasty to go into politics. Three generations of Hodgman politicians is enough.
I will have to stay inside today because of the smoke over Hobart. I have some masks but I don’t think it is bad enough yet to use them.

Unless he's trying to get ahead of some scandal which might break
I was a little puzzled when, on the Sunshine Coast Community Board FB page, someone posted a pic of some insects and asked, :What are they?" and the reaction was "Yes!" Because they were flying ants, and around here they are only on the move like that when there's plenty of rain coming. Which turned out to be the case. Noice.
