Arts, photography, film, astronomy & weather. Hoping to keep this place less political and argumentative than twitter, but I'm left of centre and believe in a fair society and being kind to each other... And yes, I do resemble Bevis in real life.

2025 goes down as the ~3rd-warmest year on record (based on ERA5).
Like in 2024, every single day this past year was warmer than the average of even the most recent reference period (1991-2020).

80% of Mumsnet users do not intend to vote Reform.

My unsolicited advice for the day. Under NO circumstance should you ask " how much worse can it get" It's right up there with "cheer up things could be worse". And so it goes.. sigh
