Ever since I learned about them, I've always been afraid of geometric progressions.
It's not that we're entering a car crash with no brakes, it's the fact that the accelerator is also jammed.

These fires sadly do not start themselves, people need to take more care.

Some of the homes they are returning to are completely burnt down. And there are still people missing!

The devastating wildfires in UK are a heartbreaking reminder of how fragile our environment can be. My thoughts are with everyone affected, especially the families who have lost loved ones, those forced to evacuate, and the brave firefighters and emergency teams risking their lives to protect others. Wishing for the fires to be brought under control soon and for strength, safety, and a speedy recovery for all the affected communities. ❤️🙏
