abstract
Multiply imaged time-variable sources can be used to measure absolute distances as a function of redshifts and thus determine cosmological parameters, chiefly the Hubble Constant H$_0$. In the two decades up to 2020, through a number of observational and conceptual breakthroughs, this so-called time-delay cosmography has reached a precision sufficient to be an important independent voice in the current ``Hubble tension'' debate between early- and late-universe determinations of H$_0$. The 2020s promise to deliver major advances in time-delay cosmography, owing to the large number of lenses to be discovered by new and upcoming surveys and the vastly improved capabilities for follow-up and analysis. In this review -- after a brief summary of the foundations of the method and recent advances -- we outline the opportunities for the decade and the challenges that will need to be overcome in order to meet the goal of the determination of H$_0$ from time-delay cosmography with 1\% precision and accuracy.

Microlensing of Microlensing: Effects of Random Stars on the Double-Source-Plane Gravitational Lens
First numerical ray-shooting simulation of compound (two-plane) quasar microlensing in the double-source-plane lens J1721+8842 shows new caustic morphologies — convexity violations and lip caustics — that do not occur...

Accelerated inference of microlensed gravitational waves with machine learning
A neural posterior estimator trained on wave-optics-microlensed gravitational-wave signals recovers source and lens parameters and Bayes factors consistent with Bilby, about 10 times faster.

A Joint Analysis of Strong Lensing and Type Ia Supernovae to Determine the Hubble Constant
A model-independent combination of strong lensing and supernova data gives H0 = 70.55 ± 7.44 km/s/Mpc, consistent with both Planck and SH0ES within 1sigma.
