There was just an enormous solar flare

  Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected an X6.3-class solar flare from sunspot AR3590 (Feb. 22 @ 2234 UT). This is the strongest flare of Solar Cycle 25, and the third X-flare the sunspot has produced in a 24 hour period.  This sucker was big.. This most recent X class flare is rated as a X 6.3. It generated an R3 radio blackout, which is considered “strong” on a 5-point scale, where R1 is “minor” with weak or minor degradation of HF radio communications and navigation signals while 5 is “extreme” with a complete radio blackout on the entire sunlit side of the Earth lasting for a number of hours; such an event would also knock navigation systems off-line, which could lose to loss of positioning, especially by boats and planes. For real.. No more of this recent X1-class nonsense, this X6.4-class flare is now the largest confirmed flare since September 2017.

What caused this?! Massive cell outages across America

  Depending on your service plan and depending on your location, there’s a good chance that you will not be reading this when it’s posted.. ..there are nationwide outages of various communication companies such as AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. The outages have been widespread and also have caused some panic amongst users across the United States  online. At the time this post is being written, big communications companies have yet to reveal why this occurred. Some have speculated that a large solar flare, which emitted from the sun on February 21st, may have been to blame. Others, however, have downplayed that suggestion. 911 centers across the United States, including Massachusetts, have urged people not to use their cell phones when calling 911. Yes indeed, it all feels weird lately doesn’t it .. CELL OUTAGE HITS AT&T NATIONWIDE VERIZON, T-MOBILE AFFECTED 911 CRASHES ‘WORLD IS ENDING’ SOLAR FLARE? MAP

Mona Lisa learns what the soup of the day is the hard way

PRESS REPORTS: Climate activists battled weekend crowds at the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday to splash the iconic “Mona Lisa” with canned soup. Footage shows two women throwing a red liquid at the painting before crossing the wooden barrier protecting it from crowds. One of the women removes her jacket to reveal a T-shirt reading “Riposte Alimentaire,” a food sustainability activist group in France, whose name means “food response.” Mona Lisa was targeted two years ago with cake.. For this incident, there is no word on what the brand or flavor of soup but appears, to us at least, be tomato.

PLUS SIZE LAYOFF: Sports Illustrated dying right in front of us

The news, first reported by Front Office Sports, came less than 24 hours after publisher The Arena Group announced “a significant reduction in its workforce,” comprising 100 employees. Arena said it continued to manage “substantial” debt and recently missed payments, and that the layoffs were part of “cost-cutting measures to initiate a transformative shift towards a streamlined business model.” According to FOS, Sports Illustrated’s parent company, Authentic Brands Group, has sought to revoke Arena’s license to publish SI after Arena missed a payment. Richard Deitsch of The Athletic separately tweeted Friday an image of an email sent out to workers that said “staff” who worked for the Sports Illustrated brand were being laid off. The union representing SI’s staff said in a tweeted statement that it had been notified of Arena’s intention to “lay off a significant number, possibly all” of its union-represented staff.

James Webb intrigue.. will NASA announce life has been found? (Hint, probably not)

Rumors Circulating That James Webb Has Discovered Life on Another World No, But... Ars Technica reports that the persistent rumor that the James Webb Space Telescope has found a planet with strong signs of life h YAHOO NEWS Rumors sure.. but it is more than likely that NASA will not Admit to such—though it just seems entirely impossible that earth is the only inhabitable planet in the universe.. But all that aside, Futurism reports this: Though a NASA official told Ars that no “definitive evidence” has been found so far, they acknowledged the possibility of a huge discovery on the horizon that — sorry, folks — would take years worth of followup research to confirm. “It is anticipated that JWST observations may lead to the initial identification of potential biosignatures that could make habitability more or less likely for a given exoplanet,” Knicole Colón, the James Webb’s deputy project scientist for exoplanet science, told Ars. “Future missions will be needed to conclusively establ...
