Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard using the Esper machine in Blade Runner to zoom and enhance a photograph, revealing details hidden from the camera lens and peering around corners through digital image reconstruction.

Fits with the moment
Picture of Magic card showing a ceremonial figure and a lady, probably mourning, casting a resurrection spell. The card is a sorcery card and allows to take a creature from the graveyard and use it directly into play.

maybe this also
Picture of Marshall McLuhan quote, from a slide deck by Scott Boms (https://speakerdeck.com/scottboms/mcluhan-fuller-agel-and-fiore-an-inventory-of-electric-information?slide=37) "All media work us over completely. They are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical, and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered. The medium is the massage. Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments. All media are extensions of some human faculty - psychic or physical." The linked slide deck shows further how McLuhan liked to play with the words message/massage and links it to "mass age" and "mess age".

Happiness: up
Car-kms: way down
Commute time: down
Health: yes but always take care!
Ellio black speedelec, Ellio is a manufacturer of speedelecs located in Belgium. My bike has two electric motors, regenerative braking, a 1150kWh battery and enjoys a maximum speed op 50km/h. The commute takes 25kms to destination in the heart of Brussels, and is with 35-40mins faster than a car except past midnight. Adjust time for some redressing depending on weather. We managed to get rid of one of our cars thanks to this jewel.

Interesting. Wondering how much of current pre-tipping point decline already accounts for weird weather anecdotes in W-Europe.
