I think this one was popular around 2010. But you aren't wrong, I even saw dancing baby today.

This guy died recently. RIP, he sounded like a good dude.

My cat weighs all of 5 pounds and it takes two grown adults to restrain her enough to give her medicine, or worse, the dreaded butt thermometer.

Fucking Ark. I have a major love-hate relationship with that game.
This review visualizes it well.

Why Cats Follow You Into The Bathroom
My favourite reason is that they stand guard in case anybody tries to hassle you while you're pooping.

It was Christmas 2006 and I had an old iPod Mini that I was trying to put some more music onto. Something went wrong though and somehow all of the music, photos and videos had on the device was deleted. The only thing left was a single song, James Brown's "I Feel Good".

It didn't make any sense how I could have accidentally deleted everything EXCEPT for one song, like you'd think either nothing would be wrong, or everything would be deleted. Why just one song?

Later that day we turned on the news and found out James Brown had died that day.

I know it was just a coincidence...And it's such a small, inconsequential thing...but I still think about it sometimes.

 

In this bone-chilling report, it is explained that at this point over a million people on this planet have been forced out of their homes and obliged to seek refuge elsewhere.
For some of them, this is a direct result of climate-related disasters like drought and flooding.
For others this is a result of war, but it can be argued that war may be exacerbated by climate change events:

“Historically, levels of armed conflict over time have been heavily influenced by shocks to, and changes in, international relations among states and in their domestic political systems,” said James Fearon, professor of political science and co-author on the study. “It is quite likely that over this century, unprecedented climate change is going to have significant impacts on both, but it is extremely hard to anticipate whether the political changes related to climate change will have big effects on armed conflict in turn. So I think putting nontrivial weight on significant climate effects on conflict is reasonable.”

When homes, infrastructure, and food production are affected, and healthcare, maintenance and emergency services become overwhelmed, it stands to reason that increasing unrest and discontent is likely, mass immigration is inevitable, and that that will affect politics.

Far-right parties are gaining traction in Europe where anti-immigration policy is high on their agenda.

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD)...is polling 17-19% nationwide, around a record high for the party that now vies with Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats for second place in some surveys, up from fifth in the 2021 election when it secured 10.3% of the vote.
...
Far-right parties have gained ground across Europe. In France, the far-right has become a stronger rival at the ballot box, while in Italy and Sweden, they are now are in government.

As well as this:

The AfD, which disputes that human activity is a cause of climate change, has also tapped into concerns among some voters about the cost of the transition away from fossil fuels.

Tragic irony.

 

I know this graphic is simplified, but I think it's good enough to get the main points across to those who say "It won't affect me" or "It's not so bad" or even "Why should I care?" Here are some of the basic answers to those questions.

 

This interactive model created by the University of Maine shows a much higher sea surface temperatures, compared to any other year.

Hang on to your butts people. Scientists still can't agree if a BOE (Blue Ocean Event) will come in our lifetime, but things do not look promising.

To see a real-time global map of sea surface temperatures, go to earth.nullschool.net and select Ocean - SST, or Ocean - SSTA for a map of sea surface temperature anomalies.
