Earth is now being hit by a coronal hole high-speed-stream, with solar wind velocity currently >575 km/s and rising. Hopefully the next few days are uneventful other than some good aurora observations...
Earth is now in a G1 minor geomagnetic storm as stronger than normal solar wind continues to sweep by. Now the question is how long this will last for?
We’re working with Southaven officials on the development of a new police and fire training facility, investing $40 million to help strengthen the local emergency response systems that are critical for the safety and well-being of the communities we call home.
The Sun is nearly completely devoid of sunspots right now. This is our Earth-facing view, and the farside isn't faring much better. Either we'll see a new big push of solar flux from the Sun's interior soon or August will see the sunspot count drop under 70...

Hey, US Government, can you do something? We’d hate to think that all the constitutional amendments that touch this illegal surveillance are just inconvenient right now. @FBI@realDonaldTrump@JDVance@HawleyMO@SpeakerJohnson@FoxNews@CNN@MSNBC@californiapost etc. (I mean, tag anyone you think will actually do something about this for the American people.)
if @elonmusk paid 100% of his net worth ($1.4 trillion) as a tax it would only cover federal government spending for 77 days. this isn’t a tax problem…
WATCH: A fisherman reels in a great white shark off the shore of Nantucket, giving stunned beachgoers a rare front-row view of one of the ocean's most feared predators.
This footage captures just a glimpse of the roughly 40-minute battle as crowds gathered along the shoreline to see what was on the line.
Witnesses said people were amazed by the shark's size, which the fisherman later measured to be more than 8.5 feet long and around 300 pounds before he released it back into the Atlantic.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
Microplastics are entering the human body through everyday products most people never think about.

Dans le manifeste "techno-optimiste" de Marc Andreessen, il y a une phrase qui m'a marqué :
"Our enemies are not bad people – but rather bad ideas."
Nos ennemis ne sont pas des mauvaises personnes. Ce sont des mauvaises idées.
Prenons Jancovici. L'homme est brillant, sincère, travailleur. Il ne se lève pas le matin en se disant qu'il va nuire à l'humanité. Mais l'idée qu'il porte la décroissance, le rationnement, la frugalité érigée en horizon civilisationnel est une idée profondément destructrice. Elle prend des esprits brillants et les transforme en commissaires politiques d'un futur appauvri.
Et le plus fascinant, c'est ce que cette idée fait aux gens qui l'adoptent.
Dans mon entourage, une grosse partie de mes amis est sur cette ligne décroissantiste, avec tout le package qui va avec. L'argent c'est mal mais ils en veulent. Il faut moins prendre l'avion mais ils rêvent de voyager partout. Il faut consommer moins mais ils ne renoncent à rien de ce qu'ils aiment vraiment.
Et tous ont un point commun : ils sont déprimés. L'un d'eux m'a même confié qu'il était sous antidépresseurs.
Ce n'est pas un hasard. C'est mécanique.
Quand tu crois que ton désir de vivre, de créer, de t'élever est moralement suspect tu te détruis de l'intérieur. Tu passes ta vie à t'excuser d'exister. Tu vis dans la dissonance permanente entre ce que ton corps veut (plus, mieux, plus loin) et ce que ton idéologie t'ordonne (moins, sobre, immobile).
D'où ma théorie :
Quand on pense quelque chose de fondamentalement faux décroissance, communisme, extrémisme religieux (de tout ordre) ce n'est qu'une question de temps avant que ça devienne vraiment destructeur.
D'abord pour soi. Puis pour les autres.
Les mauvaises idées tuent. Lentement chez ceux qui y croient, brutalement chez ceux qui les subissent.
C'est pour ça que la bataille des idées n'est pas un luxe d'intellectuel. C'est la bataille la plus importante de notre époque.
@MarioNawfal Reuters article is false.
They made improper use of the Starlink civilian system for military purposes. Direct violation of terms of service.
