A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is pinned against the floor, strapped down with some kind of leather straps, a Green sits beside him.
Green: Do you feel safely restrained now?
Blue: Yep!

Gently, Green places a muzzle over Blue's face.
Green: A muzzle so you won't accidentally bite me.

Satisfied with his work, Green looks at Blue.
Green: Are you ready for your eye drops?

Blue taps the floor twice with his tail.
Green: ...Two taps for "yes."

🥇🇹🇭 Congratulations to my skating son Hiro! Hiro Kaewtathip won the Asian Open Figure Skating Trophy 2026 in Junior Men's category in Jakarta with the total score of 206.21!! This boy is truly the future of fs for Thailand and I can’t wait to see how much better he will be once he reaches senior! ⛸️

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is frowning while looking at a pizza, which Green is leaning towards with eager curiosity.
Blue: Ugh, my pizza is too spicy. I can't eat this.
Green: Sprinkle some baking soda on it.

Blue looks at Green with disbelief. Green looks back to him with no hesitation.
Blue: Would that actually help? ...In any way?

For a good, lingering moment, both Blue and Green simply look at each other. Green is the first one to break the silence.
Green: No.

Trust, I’d argue, is the most important thing we have as scinece communicators. People come to us because they trust that *we* have done the work to figure out what is true and what isn’t and we can explain it to them. Once that trust is broken, it’s really hard to get it back.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are reading a map.
Blue: Do you want to take the small roads, or the big route?
Green: I know the bridge is better in almost every way, but I like the scenic route.

Blue continues to study the map while Green looks up to him questioningly.
Blue: Good. We can't take the bridge anyway, it's on fire and also flooded.

Both foxes look at each other with deep confusion, baffled by each others' logic.
Green: ...Then why did you ask?
Blue: Because I value your opinions?

Japanese officials have coined an entirely new word to signify the dangerous heat of #ClimateChange. It's "kokushobi," which means "cruel heat day." This coinage is but a drop of the coming shower of cultural changes that climate change will force upon us. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/w...

The term got its first use on Tuesday, when three cities in central Japan recorded 40-degree temperatures, a first for the country this year. Officials urged people to stay indoors, use air-conditioning
and drink water. There were signs that many people had heeded the warnings, as popular sites such as Osaka Castle and Kyoto's Kiyomizu Temple
saw smaller crowds than usual on Tuesday. "Numbers are difficult to understand because people perceive them differently. By giving it the name 'cruel heat day,' people will understand it better just by hearing it, and they'll feel that today is dangerous," said Taro Kawasato, the assistant director of the Japan
Meteorological Agency's climate prediction division.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are outside, looking at a rain cloud. Blue is glaring at the cloud, and the cloud is glaring back.
Blue: Are you going to rain or not?
Cloud: That depends. Were you planning to paint that shed today?
Green: That depends on whether it rains today.

The cloud does not answer. The foxes and the cloud glare at each other in silence for a moment. Eventually, the cloud breaks the silence.
Cloud: We can do this all day, buddy.
Blue: We will.

A pair of ghosts riding a bicycle over the waves.
They return from a trip to collect sunflowers.
Large jellyfish wind chimes blow in the wind.
I imagine that's what summer sounds like.

PRUDENCE (1996) Acrylic on Panel - 12” x 11” The classical notion of Prudence is an important theme to me, as it was to the ancient Greeks. 1/2 #art

Stepping through a break in a wall made of ammonite fossil spirals, an adolescent girl with straight blonde hair clutches a glass pyramid to her chest. An owl perches on her shoulder with wings flared as if taking off or just landing. A plain brown cloak wraps across her shoulders mostly covering the darker tunic beneath. The ends of a long green sash, tied at her waist, dangles down to loose white stockings. A squirrel stops at her feet to snack on a nut. In front of her, leaves are strewn about the perfectly manicured lawn, which quickly gives way to placid water. Uniform stone blocks border the water's edge. Behind her, a mass of clouds billow. Thinner clouds cross dramatically on a diagonal giving the sky a hint of motion.

A comic of several colourful foxes. In this one, we see a red fox wearing a burglar mask, carrying a heavy sack on her back.
Narrator: The reverse burglar strikes like a thief in the night.

The red fox drops the sack on the floor with a heavy thump.
Narrator: Swiftly she breaks in, drops her loot, and she's gone again!

In the morning, still bleary-eyed, drowsy Green finds the sack, looking at it with a drowsy yet puzzled expression.
Narrator: The grim light of dawn reveals her crimes.

Green turns around to call towards Blue, who is somewhere unseen.
Green: Blue? Your mom got us with the zucchini again!

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is minding his own business, peacefully reading a book, as Green looks out of the window, tail raised in alert.

Blue's book goes momentarily up in the air as Blue jumps, startled by Green's excited yelling.
Green: The signs have aligned! Blueberry season is upon us!

Blue looks after Green as Green rushes off to make arrangements.
Blue: What kind of signs do you see from our window? We're in the city.
Green: Bird poop!

Blue raises his eyebrow in confusion as Green returns, wearing a sun hat and carrying a bucket for foraging.
Blue: ...You do bird poop divination?
Green: They turn purple when there's blueberries.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are on a walk, and pass by a gas station under construction.
Blue: Oh look, they're renovating the gas station.
Green: Huh.

Blue and Green sit down to watch the work.
Green: I wonder where they put the old guys who always sit at the front.
Blue: I think they're still there.

The foxes watch as the group of old men sit at an outdoor table right next to the construction site, stoically enduring the sand and dust getting into their eyes and coffee mugs.
Green: Impressive dedication.

In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...

Baltimore Banner Sports @sports.thebaltimorebanner.com · 2w ago

“We’re not asking for permission to be here. We’re playing.” In February, USA Rugby banned transgender women from competing in women's matches. It was, on paper, a massive blow to the Baltimore Ferals, one of hundreds of teams affiliated with International Gay Rugby. Instead, they kept playing.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue approaches Green as Green is writing something, peering curiously at the paper.
Blue: What are you writing?
Green: An evacuation notice.

Blue looks at Green, puzzled, and Green looks back to him.
Blue: ...A what?
Green: The sink creature has returned.

Soon, the foxes are sitting beside the sink, and Green is reading aloud from the paper he wrote.
Green: Dear sink creature: Due to upcoming cleaning procedures, you are advised to leave.

Green carries on reading, while Blue looks at the sink in mild alarm, as the creature's yellowish green tentacles bust out of the sink.
Green: We will be pouring boiling water down the drain.
Sink creature: Uuugh fiiiine.
