“Although it’s becoming fashionable to talk about these solar storms, there is no need for sensationalism.”
—Physicist José Carlos del Toro says we shouldn't be too concerned about solar activity disrupting our technology and turning life as we know it into a dark and terrible pit of despair in which all the hallmarks of modern society are eradicated as we devolve to our most primal and barbaric instincts, raping and robbing and killing in an orgy of destruction followed by our total extinction as a species. So lighten up.

Kill? No. Maim horribly, making us with tell-tale scars as the simultaneously feared and revered Sun Cursed In the post-apocalyptic society we build next year? Maybe!
I notice José Carlos del Toro was ominously silent on dangers presented by the moon. Is it possible he's actually José Carlos de la Luna?
Anything that knocks out Twitter is A-OK by me.
First it giveth, then it taketh away.
At least it's not the fucking moon.
@lbf Clearly Balk is an agent of the sun, trying to distract us by getting us all whipped up in a fury at the moon - when obviously, the SUN is the celestial body that's trying to kill us.
No need for sensationalism, my ass. Let's not minimize the existential threat posed by the body that KEEPS LAUNCHING BALLS OF BLAZING PLASMA AT US
So....can we go back to worrying about pole shift now?
Awl, you could maybe have told me about this before I began my orgy of destruction? You know I like to get an early start when I have a big project.
@Gef the Talking Mongoose Maybe just rename the Facebook photo album of the destruction orgy to something less apocalyptical?
No need for sensationalism, sure, but one hell of a thirst for it. Oh god I'd rather feel panic than nothing at all!
