Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite.
Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so scientists can use these types of pictures to better understand the formation, characteristics, and relationship of TLEs to thunderstorms.

You know, for a guy who says he's not a dancer at all, Weird Al sure pulls off some pretty great moves in the video for 'Living With a Hernia.'

There are no quick fixes or easy answers for how to do this. My opening shot in the discussion: evolving NATO from its post-WW2, post-colonial North Atlantic roots into a global defensive alliance of democracies, a โNew Allianceโ Treaty Organisation: cepa.org/article/natos-futurโฆ
The UN-based post-WWII security order is broken. @UN has proven wholly incapable of preventing or stopping genocide. Even as Russiaโs war of aggression rages, we must look to the future. The 21st C needs a global alliance of democracies. My piece at @cepa: cepa.org/article/natos-futurโฆ

"The UN has reached its League of Nations moment...It's 2023. We need a new way."
Even as we deal with crises in Ukraine, Israel, Gaza & beyond today, we must have the vision & resolve to start the long-term process of building a new, truly global 21st C order. @fiia @HelSecForum

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a South African-American(!) businessman and social media figure, Elon Musk (@elonmusk). He's best-known for being the wealthiest man in the world, running Tesla Inc., SpaceX & Twitter, and for parroting Kremlin's propaganda narratives.
