@jon.wprb.com Maybe this guy would like to be on the Christmas show: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Experience: I played the trumpet for 25 hours straight
I couldn’t repeat a song, and improvisation wasn’t allowed. I needed a very long set list.

The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 is 8.00 (NOAA Scale G4). NOAA Kp index breakdown Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 Nov 12 Nov 13 Nov 14 00-03UT 5.00 (G1) 6.67 (G3) 4.67 (G1) 03-06UT 7.33 (G3) 6.33 (G2) 4.00 06-09UT 6.00 (G2) 6.00 (G2) 3.33 09-12UT 4.67 (G1) 4.67 (G1) 3.67 12-15UT 4.33 4.00 3.33 15-18UT 8.00 (G4) 3.33 3.00 18-21UT 7.67 (G4) 4.33 3.00 21-00UT 7.00 (G3) 4.67 (G1) 3.33 Rationale: CME activity from 09-11 Nov is likely to cause G1-G4 (Minor-Severe) levels on 12 Nov, G1-G3 (Minor-Strong) storm levels on 13 Nov and G1 (Minor) levels early on 14 Nov.

@chiosse.bsky.social Decatur Playground appears not to have been weeded all summer. Currently the weeds are coming up through the benches. Can anybody come work on this please? Yes we’ve all called 311.

Can't make this up, but my USPS stamps celebrating "20 Years of Delivering" (with art by Chris Ware) appear to be lost in the mail.
A screenshot of package tracking information from the USPS showing that a package left a distribution center on July 22 in Kansas City and only made it as far as the distribution center and has not moved since July 28. A blue box reads: "Latest update: Your apckage will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently en route to the next facility."

PDFs of knitting 🧶 patterns need to be printer-friendly. (It'd be ideal if I didn't print 'em at all, but I need to make notes.) Just bought a pattern for a piece that's trendy rn, it is 6pp with 2 nearly full-page images, color pics every page. Instructions take up 500 words tops. Who is this for??

BTW a good mental heatlh tip I learned is to leave the Bsky app open to one of the #Cats feeds so that when I reflexively open it looking for some kind of random negative dopamine hit, I am first greeted by Lulu, Spiffy, Binx, and Mr. Oogie Boogie. Then I can usually just close the app.

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them."

It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.
Figure skater Madge Syers, doing a one-foot glide Zhang Shan, Olympic gold medalist in skeet shooting, pictured wearing goggles and with several, uh, shotgun casings? in the air in front of her. Look, I know figure skating words for the most part but not skeet shooting ones. I could have picked one of the pictures of her with her gun but the ones without Getty copyright on them were all potato-quality, and also I probably would have used the wrong gun word there too.
