Aperture: Senior QA (2004-2005)
I really liked using Aperture for editing, it's a shame Apple decided to can it, it doesn't support newer RAW formats and won't work on the latest version of macOS.

Petrol and diesel car sales ban brought forward to 2035
2035 is a better target than 2040 but it really couldn't come soon enough. Car manufacturers have had over 100 years to clean up their act and yet full-combustion engines still make up the majority of sales. Hybrid technology should be the bare minimum in every car sold today.
