You didn’t miss the problem. You buried it under motion.

The Moment Something Was Off
SELECTED SCENE: 04 coffee cup stops halfway to mouth BACKGROUND STYLE: STYLE B — CONTROL / DECISION Create a cinematic, photographable poster-style image with heavy negative space and typography dominance. A real human hand is frozen mid-gesture holding a plain ceramic coffee cup halfway to their mouth, in a quiet, minimal interior. The face is mostly out of frame or softly cropped; focus on the halted motion. Lighting is controlled and decisive: a single hard side-light through a narrow window slit creates crisp highlights on the cup and knuckles, with deep, clean shadows. Background is sparse, with a matte charcoal wall and a subtle brushed texture gradient (no decor, no desk, no calendar, no workstation, no task list, no clocks). Color palette: graphite, off-white ceramic, skin tones, with one muted-gold accent in the typography. High contrast, crisp detail, calm tension, isolated subject. TEXT OVERLAY (center aligned, occupying 55–70% of frame, heavy bold condensed sans-serif, no effects): MOTION IS A COVER WHEN REALITY DOESN’T CHANGE Accent word (muted gold): COVER Everything else in off-white. Ensure the environment supports the text and stays uncluttered.

Not every collision is preventable.
In driving. In surgery.
But #situationalawareness — slowing down when you should, scanning wider — buys you margin. Sometimes just a smidge. Sometimes everything. 2/3

This is nothing like Iraq. That was a catastrophe and moral atrocity, but also, Bush was incredibly popular, spent a year securing broad public support, received congressional authorization.

Trump is very unpopular, has not bothered to build any case, and is doing this illegally and unilaterally.

Good photography isn’t just about what’s in the frame.

#ControlWhatYouCanControl is not JUST a phrase to be used when your team MUST WIN all their remaining regular season games to POSSIBLY fit within a PLAYOFF FRAME. #StupidIsAsStupidDoes. #BadHabitsAreHardToBreak. SUCCESSFUL #SituationalAwareness is something you just CANNOT FAKE.

MINUS [MORE] #MentalMakeup for SUFFICIENT #SituationalAwareness across ALL 3 PHASES, and the continued ABSENCE of ANY sense of #Play60 URGENCY to counteract offensive and defensive FOGGY GAZES, the Cowboys' best-laid (?) plans (and ANOTHER #ArtOfTheLateStart) WENT UP IN BLAZES.

Playing a bad track isn’t the problem. Not noticing it is. 🚨 #SituationalAwareness

When the attacker closed distance, the student had zero reaction time. You can change that.

Safety tip: “Shadow Bubble” — imagine a 3-ft circle around you. Anyone entering triggers your attention instantly.

Since 2020, the RNLI has carried out 3,600 rescues for people cut off by the tide. Knowing how tides behave isn’t optional — it’s survival knowledge.
Martin Austin reports. From The Conversation -- thanks!

Misunderstanding the tide puts millions at risk
Tidal literacy is a matter of life and death. But many people do not understand tides, and many only survive because of the rescue services

If you don't have a gut feeling that Farage is bad for Britain , you need to consider your microbiome. Millions of Americans need to do the same because of their catastrophic neuropathy in 2024.

#SituationalAwareness, people.
