The aurora during a geomagnetic storm.

I honestly think James Cameron’s secret is that he knows he’s really good at what he does, so he does exactly enough of it to fund doing weird shit with deep sea submersibles, which is what he actually cares about. I respect this

Same energy

I'm featuring my favorite photo from each month for the final six days of 2025. Up first: January. This one isn't technically perfect. It's out of focus. I was running, with an iPhone, in the cold. But it was such a core memory. From the New Years Day aurora substorm. #yearinreview #northernlights

POLAR STRATOSPHERIC CLOUDS: Normally, Earth's stratosphere is empty and transparent. This week, however, it is filling with rainbow-colored clouds. "On Christmas Day, I observed the first PSCs of the season," reports Fredrik Broms of Kvaløya, Norway. spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload...

Was talking to a kid and she’d never heard of cooties. What a lucky generation. All those cooties shots worked.

SPECTACULAR HALO DISPLAY OVER CANADA: Bitter cold and diamond-dust ice crystals combined to produce an extraordinary sky show over Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Dec. 22nd. Photographer Marc Toews: spaceweather.com/images2025/2...

I can’t say I’ve had a stress-free holiday but I’m currently eating halal BBQ while my kid is watching This Is Spinal Tap for the first time and laughing so hard he cries, so there is that

they don’t tell you when you buy a christmas tree at the christmas tree farm that you could take it home, decorate it, and then be relaxing in your living room seven nights later when A BAT suddenly flies out and starts CRASHING AROUND YOUR HOUSE

As a billionaire I’ve invented an entirely new form of philanthropy and the key difference is that it involves me not giving money to anyone

anyway i saw some aurora borealis

I still make this face

I’ve been to Michelin star restaurants all over the world and I’m still pretty sure the best meal anywhere involves throwing a bushel of crabs right onto a newspaper-covered table. Can’t beat it

My very Minnesotan child, looking out an airplane window: “Where are all the lakes? Where is the water? Looks wrong.”

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Absolutely wild pink nitrogen ribbon aurora burst last night here in Iceland. There was cloud cover, and I was worried the show would stay shrouded. Voila! The purpley-pink & white ribbons are much closer to us in the atmosphere than standard green arcs, and are fast moving. #northernlights #aurora

This is a great video about the growth of Flock's persistent AI-powered video surveillance system even as they demonstrate a fundamental incompetence at software engineering and little concern for security. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU1-...

It’s not Minnesota Nice anymore, it’s Minnesota NoICE! Art by me, please share, thx <3

as a Foreign Service brat I genuinely think the smell of National Airport is the closest thing I have to the scent of childhood home. It’s so deeply evocative for me. Proust would be proud

This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

Tis the season for infrequent fliers in large groups 🫠

got my adhd upgraded to ad4k

I don’t get starstruck very often, but 🤩

The intense red auroras of Nov 11-12, 2025.

I love that no one in or connected to this administration has heard of the Streisand Effect. Genuinely, it’s great. Please keep doing that

Exactly this. Especially local, independent media.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but don’t forget to shovel out your trash/recycling cans so you don’t get fined by the city

Happy light, everyone ❤️‍🔥

big truck stuck

Between this post and this review I absolutely had to try this. Tracked some down. Wish me luck

It's Day 19 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Today thousands of Minnesotans poured onto Lake Street to rally in support of our immigrant neighbors and against ICE. Take a moment to look at this crowd of you and your neighbors rallying in below zero windchill. 📸 @roblevine82.bsky.social

The trees on top of Gold Medal Park are beautifully lit.

The atomic ensemble time scale at the NIST Boulder campus has failed.

half of infosec is The Plague and we all know it

The windchill is brutal. Wind gusts strong enough to push me around. Still, thousands are here marching in the cold in support of our neighbors in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Tokidoki Burger is closing at the end of the month 😭 so get some last Purple Rain fries this week

This is a very reasonable goal! I donated. Can you help them make it happen too?
