You’ll probably have seen the shocking North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomaly plot that EliotJacobson@twitter.com published a few days ago, showing the unprecedented warming 📈

To show that this isn’t just a regional phenomenon, here’s a plot of the worldwide average daily sea surface temperature for the first half of each year from 1981–2023 🌡️

Look at the clear space between 2023 & any previous years 🔎

Good grief 😬

Hi folks,

Sorry for being away for so long. It's been a really rough month.

But, here's a thread from yesterday about #ExcessMortality during #COVID19 in #Canada .

The #Canadian #COVIDForecast will be posted shortly on Twitter (it's already live on our website).

I'm ready to live in boring times.

I’m looking for an experienced #SoundDesign peep to create a soundtrack for a Film I made for the #IWM Imperial War Museum Duxford. The film was projected onto a huge aircraft hanger, and told the story of the formation of the parachute regiment, & its part in the opening hours of DDay.
It's being rehoused inside the main exhibition, and needs a narrated soundtrack, as well as SFX to accompany the action.

Here's the Film:

How many people use Mastodon as their only social media site. If not, what other sites do you use?

Polite reminder, mastodon users with visual impairments went to a lot of trouble getting people to use the alternative text description facility on image uploads. Spending energy over the past 5 years reminding people in the kindest ways to caption images. Please lets not lose that ethos. There are so many photos without alternative text captions now. It isn't difficult to do, and only takes a little effort to develop the habit. #image #Caption

Leonard Cohen looming large over central #Montreal. Johnny Cash looking over central #Sacramento (not far down the road from Folsom Prison). Some folks don’t like these, but I do, for their role in place-making and urban story-telling.

Plus they address a really big, boring blank wall.

results from the world's largest 4-day workweek trial are in: 91% of companies involved will continue with the model. Orgs that are focused on butts in seats and hours clocked, rather than being output-driven, will increasingly find themselves struggling for people and being left behind by competitors. https://www.4dayweek.com/news-posts/4-day-week-uk-results
