These cubes aren’t moving or changing (as implied by the arrows). At all. Not even a little. Other than the color toggle, they remain constant.

“Tech billionaires are buying up luxurious bunkers and hiring military security to survive a societal collapse they helped create, but like everything they do, it has unintended consequences.”

Do you say (when pronouncing SQL) 👨‍💻

In 1990, my physics teacher in Germany told our class that by 2050, the average temperature in Germany would reach the same average temps as 1990's southern Italy.

We laughed at him.

By 2005, I had realized he was right.

In 2023, I have decided that his estimate must have been conservative.

Tumblr reminded me that Miss Piggy and Kermit meeting Luke Skywalker and Yoda on the set of Empire Strikes Back is a real thing that happened.

"Frank Oz who voiced Yoda, was also known as a puppeteer and actor who was responsible for the voices of Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Sam and Animal in Jim Henson’s The Muppet Show. [...] One day, during a break in filming Oz and Henson, brought Kermit and Miss Piggy on set to meet Kershner, Skywalker and Yoda."

Want an honest reaction of the British public to the resignation of Boris Johnson?

For those who don't know or don't live in the UK, "Any Questions" is a BBC radio political panel that broadcasts live on a Friday and repeats on a Saturday lunchtime.

We were driving home today and caught the end of the repeat announcing Boris Johnson's resignation.

Here is the unprompted and unedited audience reaction.

Anything else is spin.

There is a blue line for every year since 1982. Each line represents the surface temperature in the North Atlantic across that year.
The red line is this year.

I recommend growing food in your garden, getting an e-bike, house upgrades (solar panels, insulation), and forming a massive pitchfork wielding mob to march on the oil company HQs.

Keep thinking about this for some reason. #trumpindictment
