This is exactly why long-term observations matter. They help distinguish natural seasonal variability from genuine change — and keep us from relying on anecdotes or assumptions when assessing what's happening.

Expectations vs. Reality Barely any water flowing through the Hérisson Waterfalls in Jura this early summer… On the trail we heard conflicting opinions: some confidently said it's normal in summer, while locals and trail rangers said it's abnormal.
#LaBatailleDeGaulle is some top-notch French patriotism (historical inaccuracy or two aside).....however, fans of Franklin Roosevelt will be annoyed. Now they should make a series on Leclerc with that same actor as the lead. 4.75 stars 👏👏👏
Well apparently Politico thought it was a good speech….
They are spending about 80 million Euros on this film. I am looking forward to what I hope to be some top-notch French propaganda. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Zy...

The Liberation of Paris/ General Leclerc /Jean Moulin Museum all rolled into one. Not a bad way to spend 2 hours, some cool original letters written from Leclerc and Moulin …and a few other interesting artifacts (including a gruesome display or melted coins from a destroyed 🇫🇷 tank crew) .

The Wiiizards are spending money in the right places, as they are one of the few teams to have their own practice facility (they rent out and convert a ballroom)
Josh Robbins@joshrobbins.bsky.social · last yr.A benefit to the Wizards having their own practice facility in Vegas during summer league is that it incentivizes veteran players to spend time with/work out adjacent to the summer-league squad. Today, CJ McCollum, Bilal Coulibaly and Justin Champagnie were in attend

This has to be the absolute dumbest draft lottery result in NBA history. DAL, SA, and PHI all getting top 3 picks while UTA, WAS, CHA, and BKN fall outside of it. Ah yes, just what the NBA needed; the two top prospects in the 2025 draft going to playoff caliber teams in the West. I’m speechless.
The NBA being rigged is the one conspiracy I believe in…because it’s fact.
@davidaldridgedc.bsky.social · last yr.I got nothing, Wizards fans.
The Rhinoceros party got 7,000 votes for the Canadian elections.....what a platform! To fight climate change, they would "force car manufacturers to build more green cars: forest green, pale green, etc" & to counter doctor shortages, they would provide steroids to increase performance...
This is top notch propaganda, If I was not a 40 year old out of shape American...this would make me totally want to join the French Navy
