☀️ Lessons from the November 2025 solar storm Last week, Earth was hit by a large solar storm. The event provided an opportunity for multiple ESA missions, whether orbiting Earth or far into deep space, to collect radiation data, which is now being analysed. www.esa.int/Space_Safety...

The gloomy, demon-invoking lead singer of the pioneering band Black Sabbath who became the throaty, growling voice of heavy metal, Ozzy Osbourne has died.

RIP Ozzy.

The Stone Arch Bridge is one of the most iconic representations of Minnesota’s cultural and industrial history. After a year and a half of maintenance, I’m proud of MnDOT for fixing it safely, under budget, ahead of schedule. It’s now officially ready for Minnesota summer!

Ozzy going out after raising $190 million for sick kids and a Parkinson’s cure is metal AF.

NEW: Minnesota just ranked in the top 5 states for quality of life. No matter what happens in Washington, we’re still focused on making Minnesota the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

One of the benefits of reading a lot of history is that you realize how many people who were ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN they were doing a lot of good were, in fact, doing a lot of harm. Certainty is a hell of a drug. Certainty combined with fame/power is especially dangerous.

Sometimes, the headlines just write themselves!

#NoKings protest at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul ❤️

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

Got to love a deep field, and JWST has just given us a couple of great ones 🔭🧪 three-alpha.space/p/jwst-sees-...

I decided to push the envelope and allow ChatGPT to do it all. I simply asked it to create an HPE Aruba switch temp, fan & PSU health check plugin for Nagios. It decided on Perl which is common. It took maybe 45 min of prompting with errors or changes, but finally it spit out a functioning script!
