I am trying to pay close attention to how I'm outlining my next big story, because I think the plotting app I was working on earlier this year needs to change to avoid being too close to its inspiration.

Dipinto che ritrae un castello su una rupe a picco sul mare, tra nuvole in tempesta ed onde che si frangono. Non siamo certi che sia il castello d'If, la prigione di Dantes, ma non stiamo a sottilizzare!!

As someone who grew up in Argentina under the shadow of its last dictatorship, this is the kind of headline and picture you only see when much worse things are happening in private. This will require a Truth and Reconciliation effort if we want any semblance of normal civil society.

Space Weather

GONG far-side solar imagery (also known as magic!) shows a strengthening active region (marked "P100") coming around the east limb in a few days.

Keeping fingers crossed it will provide some fireworks!

Meanwhile a coronal hole will be sending a fast solar wind which will increase geomagnetic activity on Sunday 16 Nov. The NASA/ENLIL solar wind model also shows the CME from yesterday's X4 heading to the west and not affecting Earth at all.

That the EU seems to be on the verge of tariffing Norwegian and Icelandic silicon metal exports has basically killed off any chance of these countries joining the EU any time soon

Bad things keep happening and the population of Bluesky is handling it badly. Anybody with a book to sell is “a grifter”. Every theory that differs from yours is “a conspiracy theory”. What little kindness I see in my Bluesky timeline is reserved for the dead, and even then it’s a platform to hate others. The mood of the platform seems to have turned on a dime.
