i can't see them, so it must be localised.
Has someone blown up parliament? Or was that just a happy dream?

I saw them a minute ago, but they're gone now... 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

They're gone from mine again, now, so that's a pretty damned complex caching error.
There's also something funny going on with the reply-notification badge, which keeps coming and going.

CP caching weirdness has often been caused by each web server having its own cache that doesn't update at the same time as the others; their load balancer doesn't always return you to the same server so weird stuff(tm) happens.

Aha. I've caused that kind of problem myself, but it's one of those that isn't really worth "fixing".

I'm partial to the load balancer setting that pins a user session to a single webserver. Not foolproof but as long as you don't have highly variable user impact on server loads it hides the most confusing bits of the problem.
At least in theory. In practice while I've got a load balancer in front of my webserver for just in case, I've never actually needed to put a 2nd server behind it.

There's the rub. The times when the servers are most in use are (purely coincidentally, of course) the times when people complain most about lags. I'd think about it hard, before pinning sessions.

Those are Dynamite, not fireworks.
It's the Interstellar Year of the Terrorist.

The Expanse?
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

That's next season: and probably next year...

The fireworks haven't reached me yet, but Chinese New Year is tomorrow - https://chinesenewyear.net/[^] - at least Bob doesn't have a pet Rat to celebrate with

just saw the fireworks (refreshed)
where are the rats? specifically: Metal White Rats.
BTW: The exact new moon time is at 5:43 on 2020-01-25 in China's time zone.

Maybe sidetracking, maybe not ...
These aliens bringing explosives. Our local discussion about a million martians turned into the question: Titan (the largest moon of Saturn) may be a more viable candidate for human settlement, because we can find lots of fuel there. Except we can't find oxygen to make it burn. It is useless to us.
Some of our explosives work because they carry their own oxygen in their chemical compounds. Those are "detonating", as opposed to exploding, devices. In an environment like that of Titan, with very little oxygen available, you would have to work hard to create detonating devices.
Black powder firecrackers depend on oxygen being available. We can probably conclude that Bob came neither from Mars nor Titan.
Any alien trying to attack / scare / impress us with explosives requriring oxygen should be met with enthusiasm: His world provides something essential to us! In fact, even detonators, carrying their own oxygen, show that there is oxygen available in the home environment of the alies, so we shouldn't reject them.
