idk if other people feel this way but sometimes when I see pictures of myself when I was younger (23-26), skinnier, "prettier," got a lot of ~attention~ at cons for cosplay so I honestly just assumed I peaked

I don't know who that is and I don't know if I want to look like that LOL

Use NOAA's Kp forecast for context, and follow the aurora with real-time tools once it's dark.

Flashback:
Trump added to the post covid inflation which was global (not due to Biden) by getting OPEC to drastically cut production into Bidens term. Oil and gasoline prices shot up when demand returned post covid and peaked when Trump's buddy Putin invaded Ukraine Trump then praised "Genius" Putin

As a technology to generate as much weird fan fiction as possible, I think we may have peaked here.

Happy 44th Birthday to Tyson Chandler!

Drafted out of high school in 2001, Chandler peaked with a great run from 2011-2013, winning an NBA title, being named Defensive Player of the Year, and making his lone All-Star game.

He also sounds like Coach: he peaked in high school and never stopped peaking.

I once bought my Dad a sign that said, "My garden peaked yesterday - sorry you missed it." 😼

Early twitter was gold. Especially when you were traveling for work events and conferences. I met multiple people IRL this way.

In my mind Twitter peaked at @dansinker.com's Mayor Rahm account. Started going downhill the second Rahm ascended to Internet heaven.
In the late 00s on Twitter people would literally post what they ate for breakfast (usually without including themselves as the subject of the sentence) or they would say things like “San Francisco I am in you” and actually meet new friends that way?
I don't think they'll ever recreate what it was like to be on twitter in the 2010s. Soap opera stuff happening constantly. Poster you were vaguely aware of involved in federal fentanyl bust. Poster whose jokes you occasionally liked posed as his aunt (or wife?) for 6 years. Pastor who steals jokes

“It is the mark of a truly intelligent person to be moved by statistics.”
Bill Moyers quoting George Bernard Shaw

America peaked when we listened to Bill Moyers and revered people like him.

Over the last 12 months though, Tesla is not number one. Skoda is, just ahead of Tesla. Model Y is the best selling BEV, but Elroq and Enyaq together beat it.

HEV have peaked in Switzerland too, so the ICE -> HEV -> PHEV -> BEV process is moving along here as well.
October 2, 2026 at 2:53 PM
HEV peaked at 36.2% in 2025-08 (declining for 13 months).
If the changes from the last 6 months continued linearly, BEV would become the largest powertrain in 2028-01.

NatCen's British Social Attitudes data shows support for electoral reform remains higher than at any point before 2021. Support peaked at 60% in 2024, in the immediate aftermath of the most disproportionate election result in modern British history, before easing to 53% in 2025.

Your daily reminder, the covid pandemic was not Joe Biden's fault. Remind the GOP of that when they use this talking point.

"US inflation peaked at 9.1% in June 2022 due to a convergence of global supply chain disruptions from the pandemic"

Today's Bottom Five entry is from that one time they let Martin Lawrence direct a movie:

Inflation peaked at 9.1% in 2022 because of post-COVID supply/demand shenanigans. It ended at 3% in January 2025, making the U.S. economy the envy of the post-COVID world. But Americans are stupid and won't do the intellectual work to find the truth.

Curiosity, peaked *ear perks*

Just a reminder that Magic design peaked back in the Lorwyn Blocks. Like imagine having exactly the instant/sorcery you needed available to you at all times because your opponents run it.

Sale volumes of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles peaked in like 2017 yet we never see stories about troubles in that industry whereas every day we see stories about how badly the EV industry is doing.

37 going back to college, to go back to college when older, but the mid 30 to mid 40 year old at a college campus who's trying to wave his big dick around, is clearly someone who peaked in highschool and is trying to reclaim it by going back to college, and not better their life. They want followers
