I always thought the first time I had a chance to see and photograph the Aurora it would be somewhere like Iceland, or Alaska. I was wrong. It was in New Mexico! 😂
And if you look closely, you can see a bit of the Milky Way up above as well.

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.

At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.

Landry rushed to clarify he isn't resigning as governor of Louisiana and this will be, like, his side gig I guess. The state constitution explicitly bans state officeholders from simultaneously holding any federal office.
Trump says he’s appointing Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as “special envoy” to Greenland.
Landry has previously expressed support for Trump’s plan to invade Greenland.

Wait so the corporate robot cars are dependent on the social infrastructure maintained by the private utility the provides service for the public?
PG&E is having a massive outage in San Francisco. Waymo robots aren't handling the traffic light outages well. Cell service is also out is some places.
No surprise as Waymo robots & cell have repeatedly failed during power outages.
CPUC regulates both Waymo and PG&E (Profit Greed & Explosions).

So we found out today in San Francisco that autonomous cars don't work in a blackout (Waymos shut down, wherever they were, all over city)
Participating in live experiments is fun! I still wish I'd been asked beforehand. But it is pretty wild and kind of cool to see them discover their edge cases.
