As @xkcd.com put it, "The astro-ph.SR arXiv servers are simultaneously being overwhelmed by electronic requests and actual electricity".

There's always a small chance of a significant coronal mass ejection during a solar prominence eruption. If it didn't fry us, it could disrupt our electric systems, triggering civilization collapse. Being unable to share our incredible aurora pictures during the event would be the real tragedy.

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

when new yorkers all experience something on social media it's like a rat that got ahold of a brazil nut. when upper midwesterners all experience something on social media it's a breathtaking dance of radiant light and color across the entire night sky

The beauty of the aurora is a friendly reminder that the sun is trying to kill us.

Amazing things going on out there

It's not that you're not enough. Some people just need too much.

I'm always genuinely surprised when I get to the end of my workday and I'm not dead

It seems like I didn't hear your question because I didn't reply.. But days later after thinking through all of the details and scenarios, I will suddenly blurt out my answer.. which no one will understand or appreciate since life moved on without me since you asked. You're welcome.

the sky teases us like darting slow motion butterflies and boys with bourbon smiles.. and I for one truly believe it does not give a shit in doing so.. that beautiful fucker #brokenpoet

At least Eighty percent of the people who follow me have never read any of my posts and it shows.

It’s me and my weighted blanket against the world

Of course I don’t post selfies. Like normal people my age I grew up hating the way I looked

oh noes some people from a different culture moved in I think I will obsess about it day and night and forget to enjoy this twinkle of time I have as a sentient being in an endless swirl of dust and gas we call existence

By not including "Dr." in front of the name of the person you're meeting with, your calendar can suggest a busy social life.

"You are looking well." Thanks, I see eight doctors and two therapists regularly.

The absurdity of believing their promised vote ruse.

"For more information go to our Facebook.." Oh Hell No! 🚫

I don't believe anyone has resting bitch face as it implies someone was actually able to rest.

Good night sunshine. #Photography

Ate five cookies while trying to convince myself that I don't need to make spaghetti at 9:00 at night

I used to be much more poetic about the change of the season

Hard to know when someone is hitchhiking or just like really supportive

But the old woman in the car ahead of him looked like his Nana. He couldn’t honk at HER. So, there they sat through the whole green light.

The hauntings in the abandoned cubicle subsided but the eerie sensations Gary felt in the presence of the electric cheese grater remained.

Do I need a puffy vest? I feel like I need a puffy vest.

I live in mortal fear of mispronouncing pecan in public.

This article explains how Musk’s ridiculous pay is tied to achieving various benchmarks for Tesla. So even more so than before, Musk’s money is tied to Tesla. If Tesla does badly, Musk is hurt. You know what to do, world. The shareholders brought this on themselves. #TeslaTakedown

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

I used to think I had a pretty good grasp of fundamental science and math, but now I simply don't understand how turning the clocks back just 1 hour can make the Sun set 3 and 1/2 hours earlier than it did just last week.

Scrolling to your birth year and the fear that it won't go that far back.

I achieved my Winter hibernation weight months ago.

Sometimes I think.

No one is listening to you except your phone

"This is your 3000th final warning email."

Let's not cheapen this moment with the truth.

Anecdotal of course but I talked to a guy yesterday and he was very upset with the state of things.

You might be a real, interesting and fun person, but No profile pic, No bio, No posts.. sorry 🚫

Nothing is more urgent than my mother reaching me to let me know that someone I met once as a child has died

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

The Trumpeter Swans have arrived on the open waters of the Bow River #AB #YYC. This group of seven was made up of five first year cygnets - a wonderfully productive summer if this is an intact family!

We were so naive and carefree back in the day, doing cartwheels, joking about our measly 99 problems and stale joke formats wasn't one of them.

I was told to touch grass. The leaves were a bonus. #Photography

Werewolves are getting restless.

I'm against a Dislike button, but a Pfft! button has potential. 🤔

“Come on, Fitzy, you can do better than this” he muttered to himself without basis.

When I was a teenager I thought the BeeGees song "Staying Alive" established a very low standard for navigating existence. Now I get it. 🥺
