*breaks fingers* Let's go, mod Sus' rant on 247°F (2011)

Talking from the viewpoint of a finnish person, while the movie itself is American, and no I haven't actually watched this one but I did read the plot summary and watch a little bit for proper arguments.

TLDR: Characters are freaking idiots and physics don't work in this world, apparently.

For the reference, 247° fahrenheit is about ~120° celcius. So yes we're talking about hot sauna. I personally can stand 100°C for a while at best but anyways.

I guess we could start by inspecting the sauna itself first. It's supposedly electric sauna (which, it doesn't even look like a proper one but more spa/steam sauna than an actual good one) but also with this large rock pillar stove in the middle of RELATIVELY LARGE ROOM. With no leveled up seats, just one seats on same level + you could sit on the backrests for more space and height I guess. Compare that to actual proper finnish sauna:

This is a bit of a mix of modern and traditional sauna but only by the looks. Pay attention to seats on different levels, you want to have seats near the ceilings because that's where it's the hottest. Hot air raises up so it's cooler at the floor level, if not even very cold after getting used to the temperature at standing level.

Now the stove in the movie is supposedly the kind you throw water onto to release the steam and more heat. And here comes the fun part. In the beginning, they set the temperature to 187° F AKA ~86° C???? AND THEN THEY SAY IT'S "CRAZY HOT"???? IN THIS VERY LARGE ROOM WHERE HEAT SPREADS OUT A TON? BITCH THAT PLACE IS COLD and they act like they're already toasting in there???? Weak ass americans. AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN TOSS WATER ONTO STOVE BEFORE THAT, they have just this one huge heat source in the middle of LARGE ROOM that's like WARM at best??? You're supposedly to throw water on that thing, or otherwise it'd be same as you'd just stand next to a hot cooking stove. You don't even start sweating properly without the steam which helps with the heat releasing from your body. You're just cooking yourself with that thing.

Okay, so just? Turn off the electric heater (which becomes a major plot point of the movie, so that's not an option here for some reason?), and don't toss water onto stove. LAY DOWN ON THE FREAKING FLOOR??? WHERE IT'S COOLEST OR EVEN COLD BECAUSE IT'S ASSUMINGLY MARBLE/ROCK/WHATEVER FLOOR. Sure if the average temperature in the room is 247°F aka ~120°C it is hot, but it's still cooler at floor level far away from the stove.

And speaking of the heater. At first I thought it was like, they set the heater to get hotter and hotter on purpose but why would you do that if you can't handle shit??? I guess the thermosthat malfunctions or some shit or because the heat keeps rising??? That's not how electronics work as far as I'm aware but suspend my disbelief I guess. I can't tell too much what the characters decide to do without spoilers but let's say they're all massive idiots with their choices. This is all on them. (BTW if this was a traditional wood-heated sauna, just stop putting more logs in the fire, lol).

Okay, let's assume it's all because uh physics broke or something. It's getting hot in there. You got a small window there, and even in trailer we see characters manage to break it. But apparently??? THE HEAT DOESN'T ESCAPE ENOUGH FROM IT???? WHAT. You can this huge room with one heat source, it's cold outside, and the heat still doesn't escape enough to make it more managable in there or at least near the window to cool them off??? Physics, hello???

Like legit the entire point of the movie is it's getting too hot in there but there's so many things that help you to stay cool in there until something gets fixed. The characters aren't even drunk which would've made this so much more belieable because alcohol is probably the main reason (aside sudden health problems like cardiac arrest) people would die in saunas because they pass out in there. But no, this is just idiot characters being idiots.

Also take your freaking clothes off, cowards. You can't even call yourself a sauna movie if there's no bare butts and peenors and natural hanging booba in non-sexual bathing setting through entire movie smh.

Hi Anni, i'm thinking about visiting Finland next year and wanted to know if you have any tips for cities, nice things to do and do's and dont's while there. xoxo

Oh! Hmm... Well I suppose it depends what time of the year you're coming here. Winter? Go to lapland. It's cold and snowy and pretty. Rovaniemi is easy but very tourist-y. Summer? Anywhere, honestly? Lapland is nice during summer too because the sun doesn't set. But there are a ton of mosquitos, if you like going to the nature... If you have time and wanna go wild, night train from south to north during summer is pretty great.

Tampere is the best city in Finland in my honest and biased opinion. It's pretty, not too big, cozy. Moomin museum is the place to be.

Helsinki has the most stuff to see and things to do and it just ... has more options. I personally feel Helsinki is a bit ...cold. A big city vibe. (Though depending on where you come from, all Finnish cities are relatively small.) But there are a ton of museums and art etc. Sacabambaspis at the natural history museum is the hottest stuff at the moment.

Turku is very pretty, lots of history, if you like history.

I..... don't really know what to say, otherwise. Don't come here in October-November, it's dark and cold and wet and bleak. And around March-April everything is either covered in ice and you'll break your bones trying to walk outside, or there's grey slush everywhere and your feet will be wet and cold all the time. Everything is ugly. If you like winter sports, lapland is super pretty in Feb-March.

Most Finns know English pretty well, so you don't need to worry about learning the language that much. I'd say Finns like our personal space and we're not good at small talk, but mostly we are helpful and friendly. Finns are very straightforward which might come off as a bit rude maybe?? But we're not!! It's just efficiency :D

If anyone else has better tips or more suggestions for a good time in Finland, please leave a reply to this post!

According to this article in a Finnish tabloid, Käärijä's salary from festivals this summer is in the lowest bracket despite him being one of the hottest artists (if not THE hottest) of the country at the moment, less than 10k.

That's because most of the gigs were secured before the Eurovision hype, back when he was still relatively unknown and couldn't be renegotiated. So he's still working for the old, pre fame salary.

Apparently now his pay would be 25 000 - 35 000 euros per festival performance instead of < 10 000.

And of course, that's between the whole tour crew, not just him.

That seems so unfair, I feel so sorry for him!

Global temperatures soared to a new record in September by a huge margin, stunning scientists and leading one to describe it as “absolutely gobsmackingly bananas”.

The hottest September on record follows the hottest August and hottest July, with the latter being the hottest month ever recorded. The high temperatures have driven heatwaves and wildfires across the world.

September 2023 beat the previous record for that month by 0.5C, the largest jump in temperature ever seen. September was about 1.8C warmer than pre-industrial levels. Datasets from European and Japanese scientists confirm the leap.

The heat is the result of the continuing high levels of carbon dioxide emissions combined with a rapid flip of the planet’s biggest natural climate phenomenon, El Niño. The previous three years saw La Niña conditions in the Pacific Ocean, which lowers global temperature by a few tenths of a degree as more heat is stored in the ocean.

Conditions have now rebounded to an El Niño event, which releases ocean heat and drives up temperatures. It’s all but certain that 2023 will be the hottest on record and 2024 may even exceed that, as the heating impact of El Niño is felt most in the year after it begins.

“September was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist, absolutely gobsmackingly bananas,” said Zeke Hausfather, at the Berkeley Earth climate data project.

Mika Rantanen, climate researcher at the Finnish Meteorological Institute, said: “I’m still struggling to comprehend how a single year can jump so much compared to previous years.” Prof Ed Hawkins, at the University of Reading, UK, said the heat seen this summer was “extraordinary”.

Samantha Burgess, at the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, said: “The unprecedented temperatures for the time of year observed in September have broken records by an extraordinary amount. 2023 [is] on track to be the warmest year and about 1.4C above pre-industrial average temperatures. Two months out from [the UN climate conference] Cop28, the sense of urgency for ambitious climate action has never been more critical.”

The heat hit record levels within many countries too, including France, Germany, and Poland. The UK saw its joint hottest September on record, the Met Office reported, in data that goes back to 1884.

In Australia, climate scientist and author Joelle Gergis said: “Observations of Australia’s climate in September are shocking. Figures show where maximum temperatures were the highest on record, with many areas 3C to 5C above average. Rainfall deficits are primed for drought. Summer is going to be brutal.”

While human-caused global heating and El Niño are the biggest factors causing the record-breaking temperatures, other factors may be contributing small increases as well, Hausfather said. These include an uptick in the 11-year solar cycle, cuts in sun-blocking sulphur emissions from shipping and industry and a volcanic eruption in Tonga that released a large amount of water vapour, which traps heat.

In August, the Guardian asked 45 leading climate scientists from around the world about the record-breaking temperatures. They said that, despite it certainly feeling as if events had taken an alarming turn, the broad global heating trend seen to date was entirely in line with three decades of scientific predictions.

Increasingly severe weather impacts had also been long signposted by scientists, although the speed and intensity of the reality and the unexpected vulnerability of many populations scared some. The off-the-charts sea temperatures and Antarctic sea ice loss were seen as the most shocking events.

The scientists said that the exceptional events of 2023 could be a normal year in just a decade, unless there is a dramatic increase in climate action. The researchers overwhelmingly pointed to one action as critical: slashing the burning of fossil fuels down to zero.

@hprecfest day 5: non ao3

This was such a hard one. I only do ao3 nowadays, so I started to think waaaaay back when I was a teeny weeny child exploring the internet getting my fanfiction fix. I used to read (and write, oh god) only in Finnish in a Finnish HP fanfiction forum, which became my internet home. I met some of my closest friends on that forum 🫶🫶 These fics are an essential part of my lore so enjoy these three early 2000's stories:

Seamus is Seamus and You are Yourself by Ari Munami 🩵 ff.net, 36,741 words, draco/harry

Harry goes through some... er, changes before Sixth Year. Everyone, including Draco Malfoy, sits up and takes notice. DM/HP.

This was my favorite fic at some point. Harry had a massive glow up during the summer (aka he got rid of his glasses???) and became the hottest shit in Hogwarts. Everybody and their mothers were thirsting after him. I ate this up and left no crumbs. This story features *a lot* of asterisks, and is the most unhinged shit ever. All the POVs are so fucking hilarious. I'm still low-key loving this 22 years after it was published. Not the freshest fic by far as what comes to it’s contents so yeah it’s a bit sus

Welcome to the Real World by IamtheLizardQueen 🩵 ff.net, 124,521 words, draco/harry

A Harry/Draco romance, set post-Hogwart's in muggle London. Includes red mittens, linoleum, witty retorts, angst, love, dance clubs, strange friends, cooking shows, and coffee not necessarily in that order !

This I started to read as a translation when I was 14 I guess? The translator continued to post this until chapter 10 or so and vanished from the forum and then I read the rest in English. I checked and the translation was finished by another translator later. I can't remember much of this fic but I remember being so invested in it. Time to try to re-read I guess

Little Pink Pills by MushroomAnn 🩵 ff.net, 21,504 words, draco/harry

Two young boys, one last fight, two little pills called Ecstasy and one long detention. A.N: written after OotP and set during sixth year. Warning: drug use!

I checked and this has been crossposted to ao3 as well, but I'm including it anyways. I was probably around 15 when I read this (translated as well) and it completely altered my brain chemistry. Harry and Draco rolling on molly is the purest and most endearing thing ever. I absolutely love this fic so much and now re-reading it made me so happy, I could feel the ecstasy love oozing from me as well as the comedown. I really had no idea of anything when I first read this, so now that I'm older and wiser and done my fair share of stuff it just hits different

#hprecfest2023 #drarry #drarry fic rec #this is probably my fav prompt afterall #im having such a good time with these fics #the first one is really fucking all over the place #trip down the memory lane #my rec

My Sweet Enkeli: Chapter 7

"Enkeli": finnish word for "angel".

When Noah Sebastian met Nori Nurmi for the first time, he knew he wanted her more than anything. She was beautiful like an angel and dangerous like the devil.

♡ Author's note: MERRY CHRISTMAS! So, this is the penultimate chapter. I hope you guys like what I decided to choose for Nori and Noah. Actually I had totally different plans when I started to write this but I changed my mind. Please let me know your opinions, I would love to know your thoughts 🖤 don't forget to repost so more people can read it! CHAPTER SIX HERE.

♡ Warnings: This is a work involving real people but it's 100% fiction written. Please remember that this is only for fun purposes and it doesn't reflect their real thoughts and behaviors. Don't take this work too seriously. +18 only. Smut, oral sex, penetration, unprotected sex, really dirty talk (please always use condoms!!!!)

♡ Characters: Noah Sebastian × Nori Nurmi (OFC).

♡ Words: 2.937

♡ MASTERLIST HERE.

The debut show in Finland was a success and now the bands and crew are celebrating in the after party thrown especially for Bad Omens. The Riff is the hottest place in Helsinki when it comes to rock ‘n’ roll and alcohol. The bar is a very cool place, pictures of bands and instruments hanging on the black walls, polaroids of special guests displaying for everyone to see how cool their clients are and some tables with stools and black couches for everyone to sit. The boys are feeling welcomed but also tired, they can't wait to go home tomorrow morning - but that doesn't mean that they don't have energy to party.

Nori can see that there's something bothering Noah. He always looks angry when he sings Dethrone but tonight he was looking really pissed off. The way he looked at the crowd earlier at the end of the show while he growled the lyrics was clearly showing that he was about to burst. This is making Nori feel worried about him, maybe he is bothered by Joel's presence but this wouldn't be something that would make Noah mad - at least not that mad.

When he's out of her sight, she wonders where he is and feels that she needs to be close to him, making sure that he enjoys his last hours in her homeland. Meanwhile, in the man's bathroom, it's like a match it's about to start. Noah didn't like to meet his arch enemy there and he couldn't hide it: his eyes turned black with the sight. It's just the two of them: the boys that are starring roles in Nori's love life. In one corner, the american ray of sunshine and singer of Bad Omens, Noah Sebastian. In the other corner, the Finnish dark prince and singer of Blind Channel, Joel Hokka. In the blonde one's mind, it's good that he is having the opportunity to be alone with the brown haired one - he definitely has some things to say.

“I hope you are not messing around with Nori, she doesn't deserve to be hurt” he says with a strong Finnish accent.

“More than you already did?”.

“You think you know something but you just came into her life… what? One or two months ago?”.

“I know what she told me. You treated her like shit and now think that you can have her back. She's not dumb”.

“Maybe she won't come back to me, but she also will not end up with you”.

“Because of what? She likes security? Bullshit. You are the one who doesn't know a single shit about her”.

“You think you are the king, Noah Sebastian”.

“I don't. The difference between me and you it's that I didn't hurt her and I never will. I would rather kill myself”.

“You are not going to win”.

“There's nothing to win, this is not a game and she is not an object or a prize. I just want her to be happy, if it's not with me then fine. But I'm sure that it's not going to be with you either”.

Noah storms out of the bathroom, his fists ready to punch Joel right in the face but he holds himself. He quickly grabs his phone and sends a message to Nicholas saying that he is going to the hotel as he walks straight to the exit, but a soft hand holds him by his biceps.

“Are you okay?” Nori's soft voice makes him stop.

“I gotta go, I can't stand this bullshit” he can't look into her eyes so he faces the floor.

“What happened? I know that you're not okay”.

“Shit, Nori!” He almost yells “Can we just get out of here?”.

“Sure. Let's go to my place”.

A five minute drive leads them to a small white brick building with vintage windows. The hallways are small and kinda dark, and soon they are on the third floor. Nori's apartment is a cozy place, there's an open concept kitchen with gray wood cabinets and a table with six chairs. In the living room, a large gray couch with lots of pillows in front of the big screen TV, some vinyl records and a record player, lots of plants decorating the place and renaissance paintings on the wall.

Noah sits on the couch, throwing his head back as he lets out a long sigh, his large hands covering his face. He is feeling tired, the little fight he had with Joel was exhausting. There's so much hate inside of him that he grabs Nori's hips with huge strength when she straddles him.

“What's wrong, huh?” She asks, trying to make Noah focus on her.

“Do you still love him?”.

Her green eyes get wider as she thinks about her answer. She doesn't want to lie to him. There's a mix of feelings inside of her heart and her brain is telling her that she needs to tell him only the truth and turn things clear; it's now or never. What it's going to be her future with Noah: friendship or something else?

“I don't know, Noah…” she sighs, remembering when Joel kissed her after the concert.

“When he kissed you… did you like it?”.

“You saw it”.

“I did. Please, answer me”.

It's such a relief for Nori to realize that in fact she didn't like it. There's not that magic between her and Joel that it used to have, it felt like there was something missing. Her heart didn’t beat fast with excitement like it used to, it felt wrong and painful. She can only find peace in somewhere else's lips now.

“No” she is sincere.

“Why?”.

“Because I think I don’t love him anymore”.

They are both breathing heavier, their hearts beating fast like it’s their first time. Noah holds her cheek carefully like she is a porcelain doll and he is trying not to break her, but the way his lips clash against hers it's so intense that it's almost violent.

“Do you want him to be with you now? Do you rather he could be in my place?” He murmurs against her lips, eyes piercing her as he holds her chin forcing her to look at him.

“No, Noah. I don't want him”.

He moves his hands to the fabric of her shirt, grabbing it with strength, almost ripping it as they both desperately take the garment off.

“Tell me… who do you need?” He grabs her boobs and pulls her nipples.

“You…” she whimpers “I need you”.

“Say my name, angel”.

“Noah… I need you, Noah!”.

He quickly lays her on her back on the couch, opening her legs and pulling her jeans out. He spreads her legs widely so he can fit between them, her underwear already soaking wet for him.

“Look at you. So desperate for me” he groans, pupils so wide that his eyes turned black.

Nori never saw Noah like this. He is always so gentle with her, but this time he is looking possessed by a demon, ready to devour her like a monster. She feels turned on by him like never before, anxious to see what he is going to do with her.

“Does that guy make you wet like this?” He gets closer to her arousal but doesn't touch her yet.

“No, only you Noah… only you!” She is desperate.

It's torture how long Noah it's taking to touch her, to make her feel so good like he always does. He licks her belly going up to her boobs, then he bites her nipple and sucks it intensely. Going up her collarbone, he sucks her skin all over, leaving purple and red marks on her porcelain white skin.

“Now everyone will see that you are mine, Eleonoore” he groans.

They kiss so passionately while Nori tries to grab him even closer but their bodies are already glued together, the fabric of his hoodie brushing against her naked skin. She helps him to take his clothes off and soon he is standing fully naked in the living room, his cock hard like a rock making her even more desperate to feel him. It hurts to see him so hot in front of her but he is not touching her yet, he keeps staring at her like he is still planning what to do.

“Please Noah” she whimpers.

“What? You're such a desperate slut”.

When she decided to get up and go towards him, his strong hands hold her by her arms, turning her around and making her bend on the couch. He spread her legs with his knees before penetrating her without any warning, making her gasp at the feeling. He is deep inside of her with no mercy, moving in and out as one of his hands grips her hair, the other one positioned on her hips while he digs his fingers on her skin.

“Does it feel good?” He asks, his voice full of lust.

“Fuck yeah baby”.

“Did he fucked you that good?”.

“No, no honey”.

“I knew it. You are clenching around my cock already and I barely fucked you yet”.

Nori is so turned on that she quickly gets closer to her apex, her clit throbbing as Noah rubs it in circular motions. He suddenly takes himself off of her, getting on his knees and making her bend more. He has full access to her arousal, his fingers playing with her folds while her whole body shakes under his touch.

“I don't want you to come yet, angel” he says.

“Fuck you…”.

He giggles at her reaction, so satisfied to see that she has totally surrendered for him. Her back arches as she feels his tongue touching her, licking her folds so desperately like he always does. Her moans are like fuel to Noah, he already knows the way to make her cum hard and he uses his knowledge to drive her crazy with pleasure. He smirks when he sees her rolling her eyes, her hands trying to grip the fabric of the couch. Soon, they find their way to his hair, pulling some strands and pushing his head even more against her pussy, his face all smeared because of her wetness.

“I'm close…” she groans.

“I know, angel… but not yet. I want you to come on my cock, okay? Lay down”.

She does what he asks while he stands up and leans forward to be between her legs again, spreading them as much as she can take it. Soon, he is inside of her again, his cock getting all soggy from the tip to the base as he pounds nonstop inside her pussy, finding the right spot to make her finally have her orgasm.

“I can feel that you are close, angel… give it to me” he says.

“Fuck yes baby, I'm so close!” She grabs him by his hips.

“Give it to me, then”.

A huge pleasure starts to take control of her, she feels like she can't control her own body anymore. Nori thought that it was impossible to feel this way, but it's a reality now: she quickly pushes Noah back, letting a long squirt come out of her, wetting everything around.

“Oh fuck! Oh my god!” She moans as her legs shake uncontrollably.

“Fuck, angel!” Noah is mesmerized by the scene, his cock wet with her juice as he tries to breathe normally.

“I want more”.

He smirks before penetrating her again, they both can't get enough of each other. He loves the way her walls embrace him, so tight as he moves deeper and deeper. She is so sensitive and overstimulated that soon she is coming again, Noah's hand on her neck as he feels close.

“Yes, angel. Now let me fill you in, okay?” He says.

“Please, Noah…”.

A few more thrusts and Noah is releasing his warm liquid inside of her, his eyes rolling with so much pleasure. Nori holds him in her arms, caressing his hair slowly as he is panting against her sweaty breasts. He looks up at her eyes, his brown ones now showing vulnerability. She could see right through it. There is care and love; so much love on the way he looks at her. It makes her feel safe. Even though Noah didn't say the words, it's clear for Nori that he is in love with her.

“I want you to do whatever you think it's right for you” he says, making a pause to try to find the right words “I couldn't keep my promise and I'm really sorry about that, but I won't be a problem for you. If you and Joel are getting along, go after him. As your friend, I don't think it's the right thing for you but the heart wants what it wants”.

“I don't want to be with him. I want to be with you, Noah. I feel so fucking pathetic but there's no way I would not fall in love with you. I thought I could do it but I can't!” Her voice is soft “Olen enkelisi”.

“What?” He giggles.

“I'm your enkeli… your angel”.

“My sweet enkeli, only mine”.

•

They both sleep peacefully in Nori's room but soon Noah wakes up; he is too thoughtful to sleep. He feels so happy to know that Nori is in love with him, just like he is with her. His eyes wander at the place, everything so organized and clean just the way Nori likes. Everything around matches her personality like the red rose neon sign on the wall above the bed, the white wall paneling matching with the white sheets. There's also a board with polaroids near a desk, pictures of her with her family, friends and idols that she had the opportunity to meet. He gets up slowly and gets closer to see the pictures better and one in particular catches his attention: it's Nori when she was a kid, her hair was dark brown but her eyes were already colored in a beautiful and unique tone of green; they are unmistakable. He alsos sees a picture of her with her parents, she told him about them but it's the first time that he is seeing how they look like: her mother has a light brown hair and it looks too young to be a mother of three adults while her father has the same green eyes as Nori and her siblings.

“Get your pretty round ass back to the bed” she says, scaring Noah a little bit.

“Can't you live a single minute without me anymore?” He walks towards the bed.

“Too late. And you are going back home tomorrow so I want you here with me”.

Nori loves to see Noah's naked body full of tattoos, she wishes she could wake up with this sight forever.

“You look a lot like your father” he says as he lies down beside her again.

“Everyone says that” she laughs.

“You have a beautiful family”.

“Thank you baby. You know what? You can't leave without entering my board. Wait a minute”.

She quickly runs to the desk and searches for something inside a drawer. Soon, she finds her old polaroid camera.

“I won this camera from my mother on my eighteenth birthday. She said she wanted me to record the most special moments of my life with this camera” she lies back on the bed.

Noah holds her closer as she takes a selfie of them. A few minutes later and the picture is ready: them both with large smiles on their faces, Noah's nose brushing against her cheek while he wraps an arm around her breasts.

“Fuck, you are so beautiful it hurts” she says, leaving kisses all over Noah's face.

He giggles with the feeling. He wishes he could freeze the clock so he doesn't need to leave Finland anymore.

“I could live forever like this, just us laying on your comfy as hell bed. We wouldn't wear clothes at all so I could always see your smoking hot body whenever I want to”.

“And I would admire your perfect tall tattooed body whenever I want to”.

“And then we would fuck a lot until we don't have strenght anymore”.

“I would love that” she bites her lower lips.

“Maybe… if I stay here in Helsinki…”.

“The guys would kill you!”.

“Maybe”.

“If they kill you, I wouldn't be able to use your delicious body anymore”.

He laughs adorably, making Nori's heart ache with the idea of Noah leaving in a few hours. She will definitely miss everything about him, not only their sexual acts but also the things that makes Noah so precious like his laugh and sense of humor. She sighs with the thought of him so far away from her, literally on the other side of the planet.

“What?”.

“What are we going to do?” She asks.

“I don't know… I have no idea when I will be able to have some free time to travel back to Finland”.

“Me either, I can't just go to the U.S. I don't want you to feel attached to me. If you go back home and meet another person, I want you to move on”.

“Fuck… I wouldn't do that”.

“Distance can fuck everything up, believe me”.

“Let's take it slow, okay? Don't be so negative, please”.

Nori snuggles into Noah's arms, feeling his perfume that she loves so much. She will definitely miss his smell, his touch, his voice, his taste. She just hopes that she will have strength enough to live her life without him near.

Common Dreams

Oct. 3, 2023

In another sign of the climate crisis, September of 2023—following the hottest summer ever recorded over June, July, and August—also seems to be one for the record books.

A data set out of Japan found that September 2023 was 0.5°C warmer than the previous warmest September on record and around 1.8°C warmer than temperatures in the preindustrial era, climate scientist Zeke Hausfather wrote on Tuesday on the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

"This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist—absolutely gobsmackingly bananas," he said.

Hausfather was looking at the the Japanese 55-year Reanalysis (JRA-55), which draws on a wide range of weather observations dating back to 1958. The more than half-a-degree jump from the previous September record is the steepest increase between monthly records to date, The Washington Post reported.

"We've never seen a record smashed by anything close to this margin," Hausfather told the Post.

"This September would not have been out of place as a typical July this decade in terms of global temperatures," he added on X, formerly Twitter.

Another data set, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts' ERA5, also shows September shattering the previous record by around the same margin, according to Hausfather.

"I'm still struggling to comprehend how a single year can jump so much compared to previous years," Finnish Meteorological Institute researcher Mika Rantanen tweeted of the ERA5 data. "Just by adding the latest data point, the linear warming trend since 1979 increased by 10%."

The JRA-55 and ERA5 data sets are more immediately available than the monthly analyses from NOAA and NASA, which take longer to complete, The Washington Post explained. The satellite-based data from the University of Alabama in Huntsville is also showing a record September.

2023 has been a record-breaking year in part because an El Niño weather pattern emerged in June, but the primary driver is atmospheric warming caused by the burning of fossil fuels and the destruction of natural carbon sinks. This year has been much hotter than the previous El Niño years in 2015 and 2016.

On a local and regional level, many countries experienced their hottest Septembers on record, among them Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, and Switzerland, according to The Guardian. France's September beat the previous record by more than 1°C, and Belgium's September was even hotter than its July and August for the first time since 1961.

"Belgium has never experienced a month of September this warm," David Dehenauw of the Belgian Royal Meteorological Institute told The Guardian.

On the other side of the world, Japan also had its hottest September at 2.66℃ higher than normal.

"We can't believe just how high temperatures got," a representative from the Japan Meteorological Agency toldJapan Today. "It became a record-breaking phenomenon after multiple factors overlapped on top of climate change."

September also saw a number of extreme weather events, from deadly flooding in Libya to record-breaking rainfall in New York. Warmer temperatures are linked to heavy rainfall, as warmer air can hold more moisture. Separate studies also said the climate crisis made both events more extreme.

So far, October looks set to continue the historic weather trend. The central U.S. began the month with record heat, according to The Washington Post. And Spain had its warmest start to October on record, Reuters reported.

"The bad news is that we don't see any sign of global temperatures reverting to what is normal for this time of year," Hausfather tweeted. "They remain close to to the highest anomalies we saw in the month of September as we go into October."

What are in your opinion the top 3 finnish esc performances?

Also who fo you think are the most attractive / hottest finnish contestants ever? I need this for science👀 (if you are comfortable answering)

What a lovely ask! 🖤 I picked three performances based on styling (clothes, hair, make-up, jewellery), choreography, staging and lightning choices, camera angles, vocal performance and charisma of the singers and back-up singers & musicians, and how well all of of those support the melody, lyrics and structure of the song. I suck at making definitive rankings so these are in chronological order 😄

1977: Monika Aspelund - Lapponia

youtube

Lapponia tells the story of a beautiful witch maiden in Lapland and the man who falls in love with her, and Monika really acts out the lyrics to the camera with her expressions. The blue and white (Finnish flag colours my beloved) styling with Lapponia brand jewellery is very simple yet stylish in a Nordic way and fits the song well. Vocal performance of both Monika and the back-up singers is near perfect considering she was suffering from angina at the time and still managed to hit the high note. Choregraphy again is simple but works and compliments the epic chorus, and the end frame is possibly the greatest of Finland's Eurovision history. There's a reason why this is still my favorite entry of all time.

1990: Anneli Saaristo - La Dolce Vita

youtube

Once again: simple yet effective. The song is a great combination of melancholic Finnish mindset with Spanish and Italian influences. The main melody flows effortlessly and her low, dark and full voice is perfect for that. Throwing in the acoustic guitar and some flamenco claps for Mediterranean flavor when she is singing about beautiful sweet life in the chorus. Staging is beautifully balanced with the guitar players on both sides of Anneli and she really pops with the red outfit and makeup, bringing out the passion of the song. And listen to the horns and violin sections of the live orchestra! The ending pose is the cherry on top. One of the most succesfull Finnish entries ever and deservedly so.

2021: Blind Channel - Dark Side

youtube

Dispite some slight mishaps in the vocal performance, as a whole I love this performance to bits. The background screens with them hanging upside down in white clothes so the stage is not too dark. The combination of red and black. The contrast between Joel and Niko that was purposefully built by giving Niko the rapper look with darker hair and Joel the rocker look with blonder hair. The pyros right from the start and throughout the song. The choreography that looks natural and effortless despite being rehearsed hundreds of hours. The text JOIN in Joonas's guitar, when I first saw him lifting it in their second rehearsal clip I got chills. How they make Niko's and Joel's height difference work by putting Joel behind Niko to whisper like a demon. How dynamic and full of energy the entire performance is and how they are giving their ALL. Joonas & Olli walking to mid stage to join the HU HU HU choreography with Niko & Joel. Aleksi's hairflip. Joonas's hairstyle and clothes and the guitar spin. Him lifting the guitar for the slow part and how Olli looks at the camera. Kneeling Joel. JOIN on Niko's palm. How the energy builds up for the final chorus and them all making the huge jump together, perfectly timed with the pyros. The "headshot" move. Joonas & Olli just spinning and running from opposite directions across the stage during HU HU HU HU, twice. The final scream & pyro combination. 😭😭😭🖤🖤🖤 MY BOYS DID THAT

I'm glad you didn't ask for top-3 hottest contestants, because that would be impossible 😄 Some of those whose looks I've appreciated are Blind Channel (2021), The Rasmus (2022), Käärijä (2023), Sebastian Rejman (2019) and Jarkko Ahola (Teräsbetoni 2008). Boys of Softengine (2014) were adorable, as well as Paradise Oskar (2011) 🥰

#yeah we didn't really have any hot representatives before 2000's huh 💀#maybe Markku Aro #I loved answering this ask THANK YOU SO MUCH #sorry for a boring straight person answer #I do find Emppu very hot though #I'm straight not blind #eurovision #finland #asks

Nace Jordan for Slovenian online journal Aleteia

From performing at Ritem srca (Rhythm of the Heart) to Eurovision: "I value honesty the most"

03.06.2023

Interview with Nace Jordan, bassist of Joker Out

"Thank you, don't count on us..." This is a segment of their currently hottest song Carpe diem, taken out of context. Two weeks ago at Eurovision we were counting on them quite a lot. Despite finishing 21st they did not let us down, as we got to witness an energetic, playful and colourful musical delicacy.

We are glad you managed to take some time for Aleteia during the exciting post-Eurovision events. The youngest member of Joker Out according to length of service, and the wisest according to age, the likeable bassist Nace Jordan.

Congratulations for your wonderful Eurovision performance. Have you gone deaf due to the crowds that have excitedly welcomed you yet?

(laughter) We haven't gone deaf, but the reactions were very nice. We heard that people in Slovenia were watching and loudly cheering for us, especially during the semi-finals performance. All of this is very 'extra'.

Did anything disappoint you in Liverpool?

I can't say we were disappointed about anything. Maybe I would mention that they were promising us 'crazy' parties, which take place during Eurovision. They were great, but not as special as we were promised.

How long has it taken for the adrenaline to calm down after Eurovision?

Personally, I have not yet managed to recover from it all. All together it was very mentally and physically exhausting, but because of our love for music, we managed to pull through.

When coming home, was it difficult to switch from a huge event, where everything is about you, and come into a familiar, calm environment and simply go to the store?

We are lucky enough that since coming home from Great Britain, we have had so many things happen that we haven't yet had any time to lead a normal life, even to go to the store to buy something.

Currently we are positioned on various European charts. (Author's note: On the day of the interview (interview posted 03/06/2023) the group is fourth on the Spotify Global Viral chart; the only fellow Eurovision contestants above them are Finnish representative Käärijä and Swedish representative Loreen. Overall they have surpassed the 1,500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Source: evrovizija.com.)

Marvelous!

All of this feels unreal and nice and it gives us a lot of energy. In addition, many are beckoning us to concerts abroad. The dreams of each musician are to once spread from the narrow area of Ex-Yugoslavia to the markets all across Europe. We decided that we will risk it, since the people want to hear us. We announced a concert in Dublin which we will perform with our Irish Eurovision friends. Let me say that the concert was sold out in 20 minutes. These are truly 'insane' numbers, which are not letting us catch our breaths after Liverpool.

The excitement of the crowds does not surprise us. When and how did the members of the group even meet?

Bojan Cvjetićanin and Kris Guštin met at a performance in secondary school, where Kris was the reporter of the school newspaper. After a while, Bojan invited Kris and Jan Peteh into the band. After a while Jure Maček joined, and last year myself as well.

You came into the band last, yet it seems as though you've been with the boys since their beginnings in 2016.

That's right.

Nace, we have already managed to observe you well on stage. We see that you're all smiles, brave and energetic. How would you describe yourself?

Really? (laughter) I would describe myself as silent and smiley. Due to me being the oldest member of the band (Author's note: Nace is 28, the ages of the other members vary between 23 and 24), I have noticed that I have a different view of things than the other members of the band.

So the age gap is noticeable?

I think so.

In short, describe the other members of the band.

Bojan is intuitive, Maček playful, Guštin serious. And I can't describe Jan in any other way than saying that he is a pure artist.

Do you have other occupations, not connected to music?

I can speak for the entire band when I say that no one does anything besides music. Well, Bojan may occasionally appear in a commercial or two. (laughter)

What is the atmosphere among you? Do you trust and help each other?

No doubt, without it we couldn't have handled the pressure of Eurovision. Everything was easier because there were five of us. If someone was feeling down, the others noticed right away and gave him some space. Or offered him to talk - whatever he needed in that moment.

I liked it how you said at the press conference in Liverpool that you wouldn't consume alcohol before the performance. I have also noticed that you know how to express yourself in interviews. And we can't forget the fact that you sang in Slovene at Eurovision. Do you think it's important to maintain our language?

The fact that we sang in Slovene at Eurovision should say it all. We love Slovene and we find it the most appropriate for expressing ourselves, both in songs and conversation.

In the song Carpe diem, among other things, you sing about how you are against hate. How do you, as Nace Jordan, take steps toward a kinder society?

Let me correct that the song itself is not only against hatred, but it also talks about how we have to seize each day and look at the bright side. We ourselves are the only ones who have control over the fact that we wake up in the morning and make the best of the day. Personally, I make a person's day by smiling at them and consequently giving them a good feeling.

During your concerts, unexpected things are bound to happen. Would you let us in on any such event?

Not everything is of public nature. But I can mention that recently we had a concert in Umag. It took us a very long time to find the entrance to the concert hall. Luckily, we managed to find it right before the concert. We were really close to missing our own performance. (laughter)

Nace, Joker Out is not the first band in which you played. In the past you have collaborated with many Slovene performers, you are a member of Diamanti ('Diamonds' - the RTV house band) who take care of the musical accompaniment for the show 'V petek zvečer' ('On Friday Evening' - a show on Slovene national TV).

I don't know how much longer, sadly time is tight.

Your friends mention that you're a real-life 'jukebox', as you still remember the melodies of all the 200 songs that you performed during your times on the cruise ship.

That's true.

How was it, playing on a large ship away from shore?

When others went to study, I went to play on the ship. At that moment I chose to dedicate my life to music. This was one of the nicest and best decisions I've ever made. The half year spent on the cruise ship shaped me into the musician I am today. Living on a ship with so many people was a real school of interpersonal relations.

Was the music you performed always according to your taste?

Of course not, amongst the less favoured were for example German hit songs. (laughter)

I can't not mention that you were a member of the accompanying band at 'Ritem srca' ('Rhythm of the Heart' - festival of modern Christian music) and at the concert of 'Radio Ognjišče' ('Radio Fireplace' - a Christian Catholic radio in Slovenia). What is your memory of that experience?

I was looking forward to performing at Ritem srca this year as well. But sadly we had concerts and practice with Joker Out, so it wasn't possible. Ritem srca is one of the more pleasant festivals in Slovenia and I do not have a single bad experience with it. All participants were not only kind but also in good spirits and energetic. That is exactly what the world needs, it's 'carpe diem' in principle.

Who is the best performer of spiritual rhythmic music according to you?

I can mention Matej Šoklič, who I know personally. And Franci Rotar. Franci is a real 'character'. Every time I meet him he brightens and improves my day.

Speaking of spiritual music... Have you had to give up something that did not align with your personal beliefs during your musical career?

I avoid politics.

At the moment, Joker Out are a role model for many youths. What do you admire in a person?

It may sound cliché, but I appreciate honesty the most, both a frank critique and praise. With time I forget that I'm good at something, so it feels really nice when someone reminds me of it.
