It’s HOT everywhere in the world right now, and thanks to climate change, ever increasing numbers of emissions, and political leaders that quite simply don’t care, it’s only going to get hotter. With that in mind, I’ve decided to write down all of the things that are hotter than the heatwave. For the record, this is more or less satire, but I hope it cools you off just a little bit. I also promise we will get back to regularly scheduled content as soon as possible! Summer is a busy time for all of us on the team, so posts are coming at a slightly slower frequency which means you end up with (the HIGHEST) quality content such as this.
