When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Huge news.

This is Lady and Piper. Lady really loves playing fetch. Maybe even enough for the two of them. 13/10 for both (TT: rachaelsteinle)

I'm just an amused Aussie, but embrace the algae. Turn the reflecting pool into a proper wetland, with curved natural gradient banks, fringing plants, rushes and reeds, floating weed and the honking and whistling of hundreds.of waterfowl. #ReflectingPool

"That's not my job."

Hang on a second... Misophonia, procrastination, hyperfocus, rejection sensitivity... Holy shit! Arnold Rimmer has ADHD! Holly, inject some e-Ritalin into that hologram, stat!

Jesus, New Zealand has been having a rough stretch in international sports. They got to the final of both the women's and men's Rugby Sevens and lost both (to Australia and France respectively) and now they've been knocked out of football World Cup contention by Egypt.

I've had a guided tour of this building, including the mechanisms behind this clock. Absolutely essential if you're ever in Prague.

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

Smurfs are cute but I bet if you live in Australia you get used to seeing them get hit by cars

I saw two Southern Right Whales today near Ulladullah Lighthouse in NSW. Endangered whales with a small population, so seeing any of them is a special treat.

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

Sunset tonight at Jarvis Bay.

Well you woke up this morning and your grey robes were gone, nearly died fighting the balrog and your head is going ding-dong. Ringing like a bell from your beard down to your toes, like a voice saying you should go back in a shining set of white robes...

This is beyond parody. The only way it could be more on the nose would be for his Ray Martin hairpiece to be American flag blue.

There it is again! Another glitch in the Matrix! 😅

Hey @bluebec.bsky.social, it's your canine döppelganger.

Deep wisdom from Rose Nylund (Betty White) on The Golden Girls...

Aniseed is saying "no photo, only pats".

This is Beau. He's got a date tonight. Put on his best and only bowtie. Needs you to straighten it for him, if you don't mind. 12/10 (IG: usandourgoldens)

Scam caller earlier claimed to be from NBN and got mad when I said I'd been using my internet to download video of his parents with a dog and a watermelon. An hour later there's another scam call, and it's the SAME GUY saying he's from Telstra. "Telstra? It was NBN earlier." [click]

New neighbors #Cat #Caturday

Not surprising, as she's never excelled in the water

This is Boomer. He's deaf so his bark is a little different than most dogs. Still 14/10 (TT: faith_sheer)

I've trained for this!

Pepsi Max a.k.a. self-prescribed ADHD medication.

I'll admit, I didn't even notice until I saw the meme's caption. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

Okay, so hear me out... New Olympic event: monkey bar races. How cool would that be? You'd want, like, 25 metre long monkey bars, and you'd hold a 25m race (single), 50m (the have to turn around and go back), and imagine the glorious chaos of monkey bar relays! I'm 100% serious. Make this a thing.

@brennanleemulligan.bsky.social - Regarding the skeleton XP problem in Um Actually, you forgot about one of the most broken spells in the game: Spirit Guardians. Assuming the skeletons have no ranged attacks, as soon as they enter the aura they'll take 3d8 radiant with only a +2 save for half.

We really don't talk enough about how modern slavery puts food on our tables, how the government doesn't bother to track children of farm workers (engaged or not), and the risks to these farmers of our government "solving" a problem by importing vulnerable people

Eeeeee! @lateralcast.com used one of my submitted questions in this week's episode! Spreading local Melbourne trivia across the globe... (The question was regarding why the notorious Pentridge Prison stands next to a very nice and popular park.)

If you're a fan of Pathfinder or Starfinder, now is a good time to pick up some books. Paizo is hurting through no fault of their own, and laying off staff was definitely an absolute last resort.

Cishet white man goes to foreign land and does their thing much better than any of the locals do.

For those who worried that Magyar would only bring slight improvements to Hungary, this is very good news.

Dogs are so pure.

Coupla little (dry) dudes this morning.

There seems to be an epidemic in Bluesky of accounts posting words taken from other accounts or other social media platforms without any kind of credit or indication that they're quoting someone else.

Weird ethical question raised by the dream I had last night: what's the etiquette if you're time-travelling to the past and meet a trans person before they transitioned, and even before their egg has cracked? It'd feel wrong to use their deadname, but technically it'd still be alive at the time...

This article is accidentally hilarious: "When eradication efforts failed, the industry faced a new reality: learning to live with and manage smut." "Advocacy group Canegrowers chief executive Dan Galligan said smut shifted attitudes from reactive to anticipatory."

Friend sent this music deep cut over. Too funny not to share! 😂

It feels really petty that while the Xbox showcase showed PC, Switch, and PS5 logos on multi-platform games, the PS5 state of play only included PS5 logos. It feels kinda scummy.

This looks like an unofficial sequel to Untitled Goose Game and I am HERE FOR IT. (That said, I hope they at least acknowledge @househouse.com for what looks like some heavy inspiration.)

The most shocking revelation in the Xbox Games Showcase is that Marcus Fenix used to have a neck.

@bluebec.bsky.social - You'll enjoy this one.
