Man driving car in 1990 with bugs in the windshield, then man driving car in 2020 with no bugs, then an empty car in 2050.
A Covid 19 wave, followed by a recession wave, followed by a climate change wave, followed by a biodiversity collapse wave. Most observers could only focus on the Covid wave at the time, probably due to the psychological principle of temporal discounting.
I've always liked these images, but someone artistic could probably come up with similar for communicating more intense heatwaves due to incremental global warming:
A picture of tenterhooks on a drying frame (aka a tenter).
I learn something new each day (I know the phrase, but always wondered what a tenterhook looked like):
tenterhook (noun)
tenterhooks (plural noun)
historical
a hook used to fasten cloth on a drying frame or tenter.
As a fan of Lotte (and Leah), for me it's not about filling shoes, it's about how Lotte makes the role uniquely hers in the same way Leah does. Tactically, they are both formidable options.

For some reason I have started a mission to correct alt text on BlueSky cat .gifs. Who writes the originals? Are they just being cruel to the partially sighted? Life is full of questions.
Thunderbirds came out between 1965 and 1966. Of course she was.
Wales 4-0 Albania Women's World Cup Qualification, 2 goals from Cain, Hughes and Roberts with the sandwich fillers. Tasty.
There's lovely. Brace from Hannah Jade Cain, there's even more lovely.
Got my fingers crossed for a Stanway rocket, haven't seen one for a bit.
England v Spain Women's World Cup Qualification, England lead 1-0 at half time, Lauren Hemp with the opener from a Greenwood corner on 3 minutes.
Nice one Hemp :) 2nd half coming up on ITV or stream live on ITVX
“Oh... did you feel that?” 😬😂
Not your typical narration from Serra Naiman in 'YOU NEED THIS' the new documentary from @ghostpanther.bsky.social
It got so bad I became a moderator.
"The section about how brands are using recent research to incept ads within [our] dreams stands out for its reckless goal of gaining entry into the most intimate of private spaces. It’s perhaps the most striking aspect of a stomach-churning tour through the excesses of unconstrained consumerism."
Truly astonishing number of screenings already booked for the National Emergency Briefing film. Very likely to be one near you. www.nebriefing.org/screening-map
a'ight, imma head out

Mayor Zohran Mamdani behind the counter of a bodega in The Bronx, flanked by various people. A journalist with a microphone labeled “Shop Cats” is standing in front of the sales counter, and holding the mic up to a black and white cat sitting on the counter next to bananas. The cat has an expression like in the famous “Sir, are you aware that you are a cat” meme
“Sir, are you aware that you are a cat, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing right behind you?”
Just watched Thrash for a bit of escapism. Hurry up with a sequel already.
That was rather brilliant, thank you :) Everything from Dakota overcoming her fears, foster kids finding their bravery (loved the quick-cut shark IED creation) and the little nods, like McKay's Meats (I see you @ghostpanther.bsky.social). Gonna stockpile some vibrating things for the next Cat 6.
A screen shot of the IMDB page for 'Thrash'.
#justwatched 'Thrash', a new shark movie on @netflix. Seems the critics don't like it, but they serve no useful function. Entertained me. If anything, I wish they'd taken a bit more time over it, they pack a lot into 86 minutes. #horrormovie #sharks
The picture paints the ~2360 words within. In itself that's powerful stuff. But in a world where sometimes nothing feels real anymore this is a great clarion call for just sticking with the facts. Assuming it's not all made up.
Instant classic. Sounds completely wonderful until you understand the lyrics. The ultimate satire of modern politics.
I need a bigger bingo card for 2026.
The electrical revolution is happening - across several domains - faster and further than almost anyone dared predict. And any country that does not embrace it will be left in the fossil age.
And some people gave us shit for Don’t Look Up being too over the top.
Man oh man do I wish it was.
My first reaction contained a great deal of swearing. And I can relate to any player that threw up. And the phrase 'death penalty' is now multi-layered when applied to #WoSo
