Agreed. I also really appreciated this one.
Photo of two street signs on a poll. The upper one is a blue arrow with Korean lettering. The lower one is a trumpet with the circle and slash don't symbol. Don't trumpet this way is what I got out of it.

Not a bad idea for #PokemonGo players though not confident this is the last day before the level changes. So far no sign of it.
Screenshot of pokemon go for the player ToastPokes. Player is level 42, appears to be tossing a ball. There are a bunch of stats. It's not a particularly impressive account tbf.

TBF, this literally never gets old
Using thetruesize.com website, New Zealand is projected on top of the eastern seaboard of the United States. It stretches from well into Canada to Alabama.

Well takes years before you can eat anything but they do go from incredibly cute little doll sized dinner side dish to miniature fennel plants in a hot minute

I was wondering when you'd go there. My daughter is absolutely nutso over the sheer cuteness of brand new baby asparagus which really is.. just very very tiny asparagus

Sometimes it even memorialises art that is no longer there such as this painting which was covered by a new retaining wall
Pokemon Go gym screenshot of the painting Gone Fishing, a mural that used to be on the retaining wall at Narrow Neck beach in Auckland.

Pong. Rif on the original.
Vintage photo probably from early 70s of a boy and a young woman holding an Atari console and in front of a box television with pong graphics.

OMFG Team Takahe we are moving up the rankings! Keep up the good #BOTY work! I know we're big round fat bois, but we can do this, step up up and up!

I think is the mostly likely reason why we are all completely fskd

Yeah that's not what I'd call a walkable city, eh? lol I have this handy because I'm going in a few weeks. And that's the central zones, tbf.

Loved London, Amsterdam, Berlin, you name it. You can go anywhere easily.

These people are genuinely mad. This quote. It's like there haven't been dozens of school shootings this year alone. What sort of head up your ass thinking do you have to have to say this.

Screenshot of text saying: “It’s one thing to watch a president or a candidate to be shot at. It’s a whole other thing to watch someone who’s merely sitting in a chair underneath a tent and talking to you be killed. We haven’t seen that on college campuses for quite a while, and people don’t have a context for it, especially their age.”

God damn it if you do not want to go into a towering rage do not read that Klein opinion piece. This phrase below literally boiled my blood. You were not on two sides of a political argument, EK, unless you also agree that politics is about two white cis men debating the issues.
Snip from NYT article: Kirk and I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side on the continued possibility of American politics.

He's so American centric that the word Brazil doesn't even appear in the article. You can't talk about Bluesky account trajectories without it. The huge spike in August 2024 isn't the election as Silver posits. It's Brazil blocking twitter.
Graph representing unique posters on Bluesky over time from March 2023 to July 2025. There is an enormous spike in August 2024 and again in what looks like December. It has slowly declined since then.

Not gonna lie, the physical transformation of Rowoon in these teaser shots for kdrama #TheMurkyStream have got me keen to watch this just for the delta alone. Look at him. I KNOW. How? What? Wow. If he is able to break the mold of pure pretty boy and act as good as this image shift what can he do?
Picture of a male Korean actor holding a stone in a threatening gesture, glaring at the target off screen. The man is dark, dirty, bearded, and very unkempt. The actor is Rowoon who usually looks like the picture perfect image of a Korean idol.

@da-machine.bsky.social found what I think is probably a source, or at least an old version with the original source still on the image
Same image as that shared by the OP but includes: Source: US Census Bureau and Piketty and Saez (2013) as well as a mark indicating Economic Policy Institute

Damn AoNZ. This is looking really shit.
Chart of flu tracking for New Zealand with the years 2021 to 2025 by week. Currently, the reported symptoms track has been spiking up since mid-July. In previous years, this number was starting to decline as we come out of winter. The number right now is higher than any time in the past 5 years.

This. I think of the entry scenes into Fangs of Fortune. That one had a lot of slow episodes later down the track but by then I was invested.
A still from the umbrella sword fight in the opening episode of Fangs of Fortune. The male lead is standing holding an umbrella and glaring at someone off camera. He is dressed in a Cdrama period costume and looks like a complete snack.

Or... I have to manage this in my own eager for spring head... I could just wait 3 weeks. That's all. A mere 3 weeks and suddenly everything changes. Slightly longer days, slightly warmer temps, much less rain (and less cloud cover). Patience really is the solution here.
A graph of Auckland City NZ climate. The green bars show precipitation, with two lines representing day length and average temp. Things definitely improve for growing in Aug with day length slightly longer, but September is the crucial month. Cloudy days as represented by total rainfall drop precipitously as both temperature and day length go up.
