A combined fast solar wind stream from a coronal hole - and a solar CME launched on August 5 - should bring geomagnetic activity and #auroras over the weekend. If so, we might see auroras well into the northern U.S. states and northern Europe.

Joy, Sadism and the Missing Link The once-exuberant White House has gone dark again. Let's defy this regime with song, celebration, love and wit.

“Let’s respond to the joylessness of this regime by making and playing music, throwing parties, writing beautiful stories, telling jokes, hanging out with friends, acting with kindness and defying the lawless Trump thugs who revel in cruelty.”

Headline of the Day:

How to get out of a love-hate relationship with your phone : It's Been a Minute Finding it hard to concentrate? Are you glued to social media for longer than you’d like? Well, maybe it’s not you… maybe it’s the phones. Brittany is joined by Magdalene Taylor, writer, cultural critic and senior editor at Playboy, and Fio Geiran, producer at TED Radio Hour and a writer of their Body Electric newsletter, to discuss this phrase: “it’s the phones.” They get into the effects that smartphones have on our brains and our culture, why some people are returning to “dumbphones,” and why it might take more than willpower to manage our relationships with our phones.

Finding it hard to concentrate? Are you glued to social media for longer than you’d like? Well, maybe it’s not you… maybe it’s the phones.

I happened to notice this post of mine from 2019. It’s stunning to realize how clear the agenda was then that he’s advancing with deeper hostility now.

🚨 Voting Rights Victory in Alabama Read about the latest voting rights victory in Allen v. Milligan.

UPDATE: In a modest win for voters, a federal court ordered Alabama to maintain its 2 Black-majority districts until 2030 and blocked any attempts at new maps before then.

The court, however, declined to place Alabama under federal oversight. A SCOTUS appeal still pending.
