Digital painting of a sunny countryside landscape: the sky is blue, with a strip of small, fluffy white clouds agglomerated together. There is a green field dotted with small, white flowers, and a line of trees on the horizon.
We report about the sun, very high in the sky. Well into April, midday, this is where we expect it to be, but we had not noticed the height of the sun in some time. We were thinking about the beginning of spring for weeks, but we missed how it settled: windy, sunny, very green.

I was reading this Patreon post to my husband (go ahead, it's free!), and his fancy was hugely tickled by the 1661 FASHION PHILLIPIC it quotes: 'Tyrannus, or The Mode.'

Outside a building site, a big, tattooed builder asks to say hello to my puppy. I say, ‘Sure.’ He ruffles her tiny head with his huge hand. She loves it, leaning towards him. He says, in a deep, cigarette-rasped voice, ‘If I had a dog, I’d want it to be just like her.’

Most nations would still say 'impossible', but Uruguay did it: built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. Its architect says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.

Digital art of a turtle-koi fish creature with a lily pad and pink lotus flower on its back, mimicking the vague shape of a turtle shell. A small frog rests on their lily pad as drops of water catch on the petals of the lotus flower. A tadpole swims shortly behind them. The background is a greyish blue with swirls and sparkles.

Yeah, that absolutely sounds like something I would never watch of my own free will; still intrigued to hear why it's actually a defence of nazi ideology, though!
Hmm, I've never seen The Thing and don't have any interest in seeing it, but your idea sounds intriguing: could be one of those things where you manage to get me interested in something that I would never have given a damn about otherwise!
