Ok. I am out of the loop...That doesn't look like John Lennon. True too - no glasses ;-) It is an allegory - Prince 'Harry' and Yoko Ono (Meghan)

I have heard of Prince Harry, don't give him much mind as we kicked out the Brits long ago. Now I know what he looks like. That is his wife Meghan? I think I will just continue not to care.

Ok. Help me out here. What is special about the picture? Another question. Who is the picture of? The intent was that Yoko Ono's relationship with John Lennon was what caused the break up of 'The Beatles' and that there is a parallel with the current upheavals in the Royal Family. Perhaps the Prince will suddenly realize what the real world is like if not only does he find Canada may not want him but he suddenly has no income. Perhaps the Prince will suddenly realise who he married.

Learner driver? U.S. Warship 'Aggressively Approached' By Russian Ship in North Arabian SeaNavy Cmdr. Josh Frey, spokesman for U.S. 5th Fleet, said that the USS Farragut was conducting routine operations Thursday and sounded five short blasts to warn the Russian ship of a possible collision. He said the USS Farragut, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, asked the Russian ship to change course and the ship initially refused but ultimately moved away.
Even though the Russian ship moved away, Frey said the delay in shifting course “increased the risk of collision.”

But whereas in the past it was 'all good fun' and expected, everyone is a snowflake even commanders of destroyers so there are whinges about it that are even released to the media and the pestering seems to be less skilled.

I'm surprised Chris Turney didn't get stuck in the mud ..... ANCIENT TREE WITH RECORD OF EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD REVERSAL IN ITS RINGS DISCOVEREDSamples of the tree are now being analyzed by scientists, led by Chris Turney from the University of New South Wales—an expert in paleoclimatology and climate change. Understanding what happened to the tree during the event could provide an insight into what we should expect the next time it happens. "We will have increased cosmic radiation. It will take out satellites and it might take out other communication infrastructure," Hogg said.

Magnetic field reversals happen at random intervals, although in the last 20 million years it appears to have settled into a pattern, happening once every 200,000 to 300,000 years, NASA says. The last full reversal took place around 780,000 years ago.
Supposedly, the last magnetic "excursion" (versus a full reversal?) occurred about 12000 years ago ... i.e. at the end of the Younger Dryas.

Since the Royal Commission into the Black Saturday fires, only a third of the area earmarked for hazard reduction burns has been cleared and former CSIRO bushfire expert Phil Cheney says there have been “excuses… and Pseudo-science to justify this”.
