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.

Cascade de l’éventail, Jura, France, on a postcard. Water is flowing!

Cascade de l’éventail, Jura, France, on July 14 2026. There is only thin trickle of water.

#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 👏👏👏

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)

When did Dunkin’ Donuts make it to Switzerland ? Apparently Trump did not take this into account when he decided to slap a billion percent tariff on Swiss Army Knives. 👉 Geneva, Switzerland

Surprisingly Delta has free wifi, so now I can have a 35,000 foot perspective on America falling off the debt cliff.

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.

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

On a brighter note — Today I discovered that at the heart of Château de Chillon in Switzerland, protected by whitewashed ramparts, a multitude of towers, arrow slits, murder holes, and the moat that is Lac Léman…sits a copy of The Bright Ages @lollardfish.bsky.social @profgabriele.com #castlesky

Well one benefit of Trump taking the world back into the Stone Age, is a potential resurgence of sites like the one at Carnac, France #AlphabetChallenge #WeekOforOodles #Photography

If I read the tiny chart correctly, we are going to see a 46 percent tariff on Vietnam....I feel like that is not going to help with the cost of living......
