Tonight is really an open thread. Been busy all day on my day off.
Yes, I saw this exact emergency alert on my phone about an hour ago.
Mmmmhmmm
It happened.
x I live downtown Chicago I got a random alert 🚨 that it was a dust storm 30 minutes later this is what it looking like after it was clear blue skies ☀️ any idea what this is??? #chicago #duststorm pic.twitter.com/k4zqaXzak2 — The great Resistance (@Bigpatriot2414) May 17, 2025
Make of that what you will.
No stars tonight but we do have planets.
x Webb captured an enormous display of auroras unlike anything seen on Earth. These infrared observations reveal unexpected activity in Jupiter’s atmosphere, challenging what scientists thought they knew about the planet’s magnetic field and particle interactions. pic.twitter.com/fcCwLHxa1m — NASA Webb Telescope (@NASAWebb) May 13, 2025

TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
No nominations or highlights tonight.
