NEW VIDEO: I was honored to address the European Parliament on Tuesday 3rd June at invitation of the Special committee on the European Democracy Shield on 'Regulation of Political Advertising in the EU... or How to Avoid It?' (My contribution starts: 16:34:00 - panel begins 16:24:00) I talked about how #ChatGPT is suggesting ways for advertisers to skirt around #GDPR protections & target us on the basis of anxiety. https://multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstreaming/20250603-1430-COMMITTEE-EUDS #disinformation #targetedadvertising #cambridgeanalytica

I'm really excited about auroras tonight!! I'll be watching this website to see where they are visible: https://www.aurorasaurus.org/

Currently, lots of people in northern-tier US states and southern UK reporting they can't see auroras. But maybe it'll get better?

And maybe, just maybe, I'll manage to stay awake until it's dark.

Aurorasaurus - Reporting Auroras from the Ground Up

Friends, see my real-time #aurora report on the aurorasaurus.org map! Follow us on www.facebook.com/aurorasaurus.org. Reporting #northernlights and #citizenscience from the ground up since 2012!

International Space Station passed near enough and bright enough for me to see last night!

2 pictures with my phone - 1 of the Space station and 1 of the ISS-ABOVE screen showing where it would be.

My #solarpunk novel series, Nothing is Promised, a power grid mystery with turtle bots and alt family structures, all battling the #climatecrisis.

"It’s about our future, how society will shift and flex like a solar lily in the storms of our own making, and how breaks in the social fabric have to be expected, tended to, and healed."

2 pictures I took with my phone from my issabove raspberry pi device that I finally set up. This is really neat and can't wait until the ISS passes close enough for me to see!

It shows where the International Space Station is located, who is on board, and live video when available. Web site is https://www.issabove.com/
