The image shows a text message transcript with a gray header labeled "Transcript." The message is from a representative of True Image, a company that sells toner cartridges. The representative is calling to inquire about an abandoned order for 218 toner cartridges. The representative asks if there was an issue with placing the order or if the customer found a better price elsewhere. The message concludes with a polite request for feedback and a wish for a wonderful day. The text is in a simple, black font on a white background, with no images or additional graphics.

It is always interesting to see how successive El Niรฑo events and La Niรฑa events modulate the 12-month average global warming time series. The 1997-1998, 2015-2016, 2018-2019 and 2023-2024 El Niรฑo events are readily detectable as bumps in this graphic from @CopernicusECMWF.
And the slight temporary cooling of the past months is due to a brief La Niรฑa event that took place a few months ago.

[Cueball and Ponytail are standing near a blueprint of a spacecraft, with Cueball pointing at the blueprint. In place of conventional conical fairing, this spacecraft has a large mechanical arm on the nose. The arm is holding an egg-shaped capsule. Two semi-transparent drawings of the arm and the capsule are depicted on either side of it with speed streaks in between, implying shaking back and forth motion of the arm.]
