The obsessive focus by political media on coalition policy deliberations … maybe talk about something that has a real world impact? This constant propping of a two-party formula just because it suits your notion of horse race politics is beyond dull.
Think.
Talk issues not numbers.
Do better.

There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere.
❤️☀️
The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event.
Comment below if you have a low-latitude aurora sighting.

Tapping the XKCD sign again to explain that no, I won't be seeing an aurora tonight. Or at least I really hope not. That would be bad. :)

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.
