That's the most Garfield-universe-spider-but-not-a-spider I've ever seen.
Garfield panel. Garfield holds a rolled up newspaper. A spider lies dead, two dimensional with legs akimbo. Garfield's thought bubble reads, "THE THRILL IS GONE".

Glorious day for some interstate cricket in Kingston. Tassie looking dominant. Ludicrously good cricket for free admission.

DSLR batteries are both flat, so best I can do is with my (potato) phone. It's up there, visible flickering directly above and even a strong glow to the west. #AuroraAustralis #Hobart
Aurora Australis green glow through clouds. Looking west. Green glow behind clouds.

Nice alignment on this one.
Two back to back skeets. First from @stilgherrian.com reads "There's 48 sleeps until Christmas". The second from @frogandtoadbot.bsky.social reads "Shut up!" screamed Toad.
