Does letting Russia fuck with our elections bother anyone but me?

Russia is on fire.
Forest fires in Siberia have shrouded large areas of Russia under aerosols.
Hundreds of wildfires are torching huge swaths of Siberia after an unusually hot and dry summer left forests primed to burn.
The most recent fires were preceded by temperatures upward of 14 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the long-term average for the area. That fits within the pattern of what scientists expect as the global climate changes. As average temperatures rise, heat waves are becoming longer, more frequent, and more intense.
And on a side note, their permafrost is melting. This is bad news on multiple levels.

FACTS OF WHICH YOU MAY BE UNAWARE
https://boingboing.net/2019/07/19/altar-by-loreal.html
^^D1^^
I didn't know that the earliest known example of written words of the English language is preserved not in a book or manuscript, but in a medallion - the Undley Bracteate, which dates to the 5th century:
Believed to have been made in southern Denmark and brought to England by some of the earliest Germanic-speaking settlers, the Bracteate features a helmeted head, a she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus and a runic inscription.
It says "maegae medu" – the word "medu" is well known in old English, it means to reward or gift. "Maga" certainly means kinsman or colleague or chief or something like that. The thing that nobody knows is another word from the inscription – gaegogae. What on earth does that mean? The a and e are actually a symbol – it’s pronounced ga-go-ga. The Library is guessing that it might mean she-wolf or it might just be some sort of magical incantation – it sounds a bit like that.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
The rope bridge used during the final fight scene was actually suspended up a couple of hundred feet across a gorge on location in Sri Lanka. Acrophobic Steven Spielberg would never walk over it, and had to drive a mile and a half to reach the other side. Harrison Ford, on the other hand, had no such fear and would run across it at full speed.

Mission: Impossible
While filming the famous scene where Tom Cruise drops from the ceiling and hovers inches above the ground, Cruise's head kept hitting the floor until he got the idea to put coins in his shoes for balance.

Creature from the Black Lagoon
Ricou Browning, a professional diver, and swimmer who was required to hold his breath for up to 4 minutes at a time for his underwater role as the "Gill Man." The director's logic was that the air would have to travel through the monster's gills and thus not reveal air bubbles from his mouth or nose. Thus, the costume was designed without an air tank. In the subsequent films, this detail was ignored and air can be seen emanating from the top of the creature's head.
