Editorial: Florida’s fire risk keeps climbing. Don’t ignore it
Florida is in the grip of a record drought. Floridians can see it in the withered tones of roadside vegetation and hear it in the dry crunch of their once-green lawns. But those who have been aroun…
"But many Floridians — particularly those who have moved here since 1998 and have no prior experience with wildfires on a massive scale — don’t see these signs and don’t comprehend the omens. They arrived ready to worry about hurricanes, but might not think of fire in the same hazardous terms."

The one thing I don't miss about working in MCR is the commute (from Todmorden). Trains were so utterly useless that I usually drove in, which brought its own delights, as you've observed.

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh.
