I always play this song in the morning with the kids when it's DAY 3 of the soggywog-September weather. They say, 'OH Mr Dude, you're such a hippy boomer'. Lol.

Do you have any songs that fill you with hope for a bright sun-shiny day where fascism and climate change and tech billionaires don't rule your day? Where happy people and nature and generally decent things are at the center? Add in the comments. Fill it with joyful music. I'll use it for my next Playlist on HCR.

Thanks Fabs and Salls for inspiring me this morning.

Oh, and I just found out my student Aditya actually means 'the sun' in Hindi. There you go. The things I learned.

First, I wanted to share this video. Naomi Klein is releasing her new book, 'End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World' tomorrow. Maybe too intense for Monday morning.

Tuesday. Cool, intermittent rain.

Wednesday. Cool, intermittent rain.

Thursday. Bit warmer, maybe drier.

Sunday eve.

The Danang depression/gyre/storm is moving NW and inland but we should still expect some heavy rain spells up here Monday night and Tuesday due to its circulation. Tomorrow morning should be OK but hopefully we don't get stuck in the commute home. It's that time of year, and when it rains, it pours. How much longer until AI takes over and the Anthropocene is over? Seems pretty close. We need to stay human for as long as we can. Keep it real. 💯
