Sometimes, mere words can’t convey everything that’s necessary, and that’s when a picture might be better …or a gesture.
This ‘closed’ sign on Ada’s Technical Books in Seattle, where there’s not just Covid-19 and political unrest, but also wildfires, says everything we need to know without saying – well, anything really.
Well done, Ada’s staff.
s_huckabee_goebbels translated the sign from “book store”.
‘That’s the book store equivalent of “I literally can’t even rn”.’
A few Reddit users told us about other signs that are very apt for 2020.
I saw a sign in a bookstore that said “Due to recent developments, Apocalyptic Sci Fi has been moved to Current Events.”

Our movie theatre had, “We’ll be back when real life stops reassembling a movie” on the marquee.

The government’s Rule of Six was created in response to rising numbers of coronavirus infections and to keep it simple for anyone who might mistakenly believe they were allowed to go on day trips to Barnard Castle.
Of course, the rule has upset some people, including actor Laurence Fox, who had an idea …
Since the Rule of Six is law, rather than advice, he literally announced his intention to do something illegal, but so did the government, so it could all go a bit Spider-man pointing at Spider-man.gif.

As you’ll be aware, new rules came into force in England and Scotland on Monday limiting the number of people allowed to meet socially to six, to help combat a rise in coronavirus cases.
In England, the limit applies both indoors and outdoors, and to all ages. But there are certain exceptions – school and work being two of the more obvious ones.
Less obvious was this exemption, for grouse shooting and other ‘hunting’ with guns, as reported by the HuffPost today.
NEW: Boris Johnson's Rule Of 6 has a controversial exemption – for grouse shooting and similar field sports.
Upto 30 people can gather to hunt with guns cos classed as a licensed outdoor sport.

On Monday, MPs debated the controversial Internal Market Bill, which the government has admitted would break international law.
Boris Johnson has accused the EU of acting in bad faith, trying to cut off Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom and threatening to blockade the UK, causing food shortages.
There’s very much a whiff of “He who smelt it dealt it.” about the whole thing.
Unfortunately for Boris Johnson, although Keir Starmer was self-isolating due to coronavirus symptoms in his household, his stand-in, Ed Miliband, was more than prepared to address the issues.
The man himself shared this clip of the part of his speech in which he suggested Johnson should take responsibility. Good luck with that.
What incompetence. What failure of governance.

Can’t remember the last time a British Prime Minister got ripped apart as comprehensively as Boris was taken apart by Ed Miliband. Tory MPs aren’t going to put up with much more of this. — (((Dan Hodges))) (@DPJHodges) September 14, 2020
Of course, not everybody interprets things in the same way, and Kate Hoey had her own view.
Clearly we were watching a completely different debate I thought @BorisJohnson was back on form and Ed Miliband was just Ed Miliband! — Kate Hoey (@CatharineHoey) September 14, 2020
National treasure Frank Cottrell-Boyce agreed – sort of.
I think Kate is right in so far as this state of gurning uninformed perma-distraction probably IS Johnson on form. That's really as good as he gets. — Frank Cottrell-Boyce (@frankcottrell_b) September 14, 2020

Jacob Rees-Mogg is fed up with people complaining that they are unable to get coronavirus tests for themselves or their family.
We know this because – despite endless reports of people being told to travel hundreds of miles for a test, or simply being unable to get one – he stood up in the Commons today to tell people to stop their ‘endless carping’ about it.

And just in case you can’t bring yourself to listen to him, here’s the important bit.
“Instead of this endless carping, saying it is difficult to get them, we should actually celebrate the phenomenal success of the British nation in getting up to a quarter of a million tests of a disease that nobody knew about until earlier in the year.”
Right. Yep. And here’s exactly what people made of that.

This is an example of acoustic dispersion. Sound waves are made up of multiple frequencies, including high ones and low ones. On ice these are separated.

J.K. Rowling‘s latest novel, Troubled Blood, written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith has done nothing to dispel accusations of transphobia against the Harry Potter author, featuring, as it does, (spoiler alert) a male character who wears women’s clothing to lull potential victims into a false sense of security.
However, it wasn’t the plot that had Twitter scratching its head on Wednesday, so much as this attempt to depict a regional accent.

Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner was up against Boris Johnson at Prime Minister’s Questions this week because Keir Starmer was self-isolating after one of his children developed coronavirus symptoms.
And there was one particularly memorable moment – this winning one-liner which had the entire internet applauding. Well, a lot of it, anyway.
"Next time a man with COVID-19 symptoms drives from London to Durham it will probably be for the nearest COVID test."

Boom!
This one wasn’t bad either, a message from ‘a man called Keir’.
great opening line from Angela Rayner at #pmqs 🔥 "I'd like to open with a message from a man called Keir who wasn't able to go to work today and his children couldn't go to school because he had to wait for a coronavirus test result" — dave ❄ 🥕 🧻 (@davemacladd) September 16, 2020
And this.
Angela Rayner: "The PM has put his faith in Operation Moonshot. Meanwhile, on Planet Earth, there are no NHS tests available for high infection areas." — Dan Bloom (@danbloom1) September 16, 2020
It was all about that Dominic Cummings line, though.
