Aurora borealis lit up our skies yesterday.
A vivid red and pink aurora borealis arching dramatically across a dark sky, with faint stars visible through the ethereal glow. The celestial display illuminates the silhouette of a single-story house with a garage, nestled among bare trees and branches that frame the top and sides of the image. A basketball hoop is faintly visible on the left, near the house.

My favorite of these is this.
A brown leather cover book with the title "How to Avoid Vaccines and Die Like a Medieval Peasant" and the author's name "R. Kennedy" in gold text.

A close-up of a t-shirt with a green EKG graph on a dark background. The EKG shows a complex wave form that shows the signature of Donald Trump followed by a single heartbeat spike, and then a flatline. Above the graph, white text reads "IS HE DEAD YET?".

4. United Against Tyranny

I have no idea what it means but since there are people out there who think the digits of Pi contain messages from God, I thought I would report that somewhere in the first 100,000 decimal digits of Pi there exists this.
A section of Pi's first 100,000 decimal digits that highlights an occurrence of 8647.

Waiting to see how a weekend of just golf went over with traders with the volatility futures on first call, market open.... Only up 18+% in 2 mins and creeping up when it closed on highs on Friday. Note: high volatility is not great.
Chart of /VXJ25 futures market representing near term volatility in the E-minis S&P 500. Not great.

In my phone notifications right now.
A notification that says: The S&P 500 fell 5%.

That is since the market opened TODAY.

Sometimes Trump posts truth bombs that we can all appreciate. Source: truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT... (don't click it unless you have to or open in private mode at least)
Screenshot of Donald Trump posted to Truth social on June 12 2022: "When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, “drop to your knees and beg,” and he would have done it…"

I don't always see eye to eye with the Private Eye but I always miss their writing style in the US.
Photo of the front of Private Eye magazine. It reads:

DONALD TRUMP: AN APOLOGY

IN COMMON with all other media organisations, we may in the past have given the impression that we thought Mr Trump was a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby who was a threat to democracy and who should be in jail rather than the White House.

We now realise, in the light of his return to supreme power, that he is in fact a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, a model of probity and the saviour of the Western world. He is also slim, handsome and young.

We would like to apologise unreservedly for any confusion caused by our previous statements and thank President Trump for his kind invitation to give him 94 million pounds to attend his inauguration event.

This statement has not been fact-checked

The Presidents of the United States of America have really aged... They don't play guitar like they used to and seem to have done a performative dance instead of playing fan favorite Lump by depositing a large turd wearing a brown neck tie at the podium. I want my concert money back.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #138,539! I don't know why I am posting this but I did want to know what number user I was.

The big focus text is "#138,539" 

There is a stamp underneath that reads, "first 10%" in blue ink.
