I❤America more than any other country in this 🌎, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually. ~James Baldwin

@WEEI The only thing embarrassing about this season is the way ownership is handling things. You can't gut the old highly qualified coaching staff, put a barely tested new staff in place, tell the players they're employees and to do their jobs, and then expect to win games.
NEW: El Niño is now officially here, according to NOAA this morning. A very strong or "Super El Niño" is currently projected by most models into the Fall & Winter, making it one of the strongest on record.
Historically, strong El Niño events lead to greater wind shear and a suppression or lowering of tropical activity across the Caribbean, Gulf and Atlantic. While that would obviously be great news, remember, just takes one big storm to seem like an active year (which can still occur even during El Niño years).
Across the United States, it also favors a more active southern storm track, increasing the chances for greater rainfall and severe weather during the fall and winter...including in Florida. Winters can overall be cooler too. I'll keep you posted!
Webb has delivered the strongest evidence yet that its discovery of mysterious Little Red Dots (LRD) are “black hole stars.” They appear starting ~600 million years after the big bang, and scientists are still working out exactly what they are. https://t.co/MIEwfifyzi
It’s #SunDay! Here’s your space weather report for the week of May 29 - June 4:
• 1 X-class flare
• 6 M-class flares
• 47 coronal mass ejections
• 0 geomagnetic storms
This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows the week’s activity.
This week’s main event was the X-class flare on June 3, appearing at 2:26 in the video. Though that flare was this week’s brightest event, a few seconds before at 2:20 in the video, an M7-class flare erupts that might appear to the human eye to be even more impressive. In part, that’s because of the nice view of the burst of solar plasma (ultimately producing a coronal mass ejection) that erupts from the region right after the flare. Wow! 🤩

Since arriving at its destination five years ago, our Perseverance Mars rover has collected data that hints at a history of past life on the Red Planet.

@MattDevittWX Thank you for always giving the facts with no drama. Information not entertainment. Here's to as quiet a hurricane season as possible. 🤞🤞🤞
JUNE RECORD CHILL! Lows dipped into the 50s this morning across Northern Florida...*checks calendar*...in June! Record lows occurred in Jacksonville and Gainesville to name a few. Lower humidity too!
DROUGHT UPDATE: Florida is going in the right direction! We continue to trim away at the deficit, with a 12% improvement over the past week with our Extreme (Level 4) Drought. 29% improvement over the past month. Let's keep it goin'!
Captivating: The clearest view yet of the Egg Nebula, formed as a Sun-like star approaches the end of its life. One day it will unveil a white dwarf and bloom into a planetary nebula.

@RpsAgainstTrump Disrespectfully, fuck her and everyone who voted for the 🍊💩. He's never pretended to be anything other than what he is, a foul, loathsome, lecherous, felonious, grifting POS. Anyone who believed otherwise is either lying or malignorant af.
"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."
65 years ago today President John F. Kennedy addressed a joint session of Congress. Among his "Urgent National Needs"— achievement in space.
With the Space Race in full swing, he said, "while we cannot guarantee that we shall one day be first, we can guarantee that any failure to make this effort will make us last."
