In a nutshell. 😊

The application has remained stable since approximately 9 PM PDT, April 16 despite ongoing Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. We have not seen any evidence of unauthorized access to private user data. We will provide a further update by end of day.

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

This evening we've had supernumerary rainbows in the Bay Area. Supernumerary rainbows are so cool because they are generated not only by dispersion (prism) like normal rainbows but also by interference (soap bubble) on top of that. If you look closely, you'll see more colors after violet.🌈

If you were wondering what those bright flames were seen in this infrared view - those are RCS puffs to bring the capsule in an optimal landing orientation to reduce impact loading during splashdown #Artemis

I hate when fantasy films I made a long time ago begin to come true in real life.

The voyage of the Katrin neutrino detector through the streets of Karlsruhe made for some amazing images.

Don't you think we have a serious checks-and-balances gap here in the US? It shouldn't be possible for a single maniac to take control of this much power so casually. I mean, yeah, they are a bunch of maniacs, but all gathered around (and by) a single maniac.

Took me a while to track it down but for all the camera nerds asking the same question I did - high res version complete with EXIF data is here: images.nasa.gov/details/art0... It was taken with a Nikon D5 with 14-24mm f2.8 lens, 1/4 sec at f4, ISO 51200

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

Another massive battery storage record in California (CAISO) yesterday, March 29 🔋 At 7pm, batteries reached 12.3 GW of output, meeting 42.8% of demand! And it's not just a short peak anymore. Batteries stayed above 20% of grid supply from 5.50pm to 9.35pm, almost four hours.

A new 225-meter (740-foot) crater appeared on the Moon while nobody was looking. NASA's lunar orbiter imaged the dramatic aftermath. Such large impacts are once-in-a-century events. This one happened in the spring of 2024. 🔭🧪 www.sciencenews.org/article/moon...

Fun fact: the rover would be able to drive perfectly fine even if the inner 2/3 of the wheel rim totally breaks off. There is enough toque in the wheel motors to pull the entire rover up a vertical wall if only one of them was operating. It could drive fine if the wheels were square.

The US President casually announcing his intention to commit war crimes on social media. That's where you're at, America.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Earlier today, I was asked to comment on the current state of American disaster preparedness. That was already a fraught question, even prior to present chaos, but then I saw today's headlines. 🫠 "Top Disaster Response Official Claims He Teleported to a Waffle House"
