No Hug? No Worries!

Today is Hug an Australian Day, so find an Australian and hug them! Daria would like to firmly remind everyone that she is not actually Australian, and therefore there is no need to hug her. At all. Please. On pain of death. Thank you.

Today is also the 26th anniversary of the infamous Chernobyl disaster, one of the worst nuclear accidents in history. Thirty-one people died as a direct result of the accident, but the deaths caused indirectly by the event number at least in the tens or even hundreds of thousands.
