  2. CW: Drawn depiction of apocalyptic chaos, blood and inferred (but not explicitly detailed) cannibalism (in an occult, dark humor setting)
  3. Gee, I was just thinking that if the Sun decides to go "#ZeroDay" on us, that could put the damper on the AI menace that's been unleashed upon the planet...

    The U.S. Ran Its First Space Weather Preparedness Drill—Here’s How It Went
    Ironically, the exercise last May was interrupted by a real scenario, when Earth was hit by the strongest solar storm in two decades

    "According to the NASA statement, the exercise demonstrated 'a critical need' for 'more robust forecasting capabilities of space weather drivers and effects.' The report also emphasizes the need to educate the public, continue developing response plans, make critical infrastructure less vulnerable and collaborate with both the private sector and international agencies."

  4. Estimated X12 #SolarFlare from [presumed] #AR3664, which is on the far side of the Sun right now.

    #CarringtonEvent was believed to be X45.

    #AR3664 will be Earth-facing again soon.

    "A fast moving, full halo coronal mass ejection (CME) is seen leaving the Sun this morning beginning around 05:30 UTC (May 20). Based on updated imagery, this event occurred on the farside of the Sun and is not Earth directed. Perhaps our old friend AR 3664 is up to its old tricks again. We should begin to see the big sunspot region turn back into view early next week."

    THE FLARES WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES: A new source of #SolarFlares is emerging over the sun's southeastern limb. Today at 1438 UT, it emitted a dramatic X3-class explosion, shown here in a movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory:
