On Thursday, Apr 16 at noon PT, I'll have a "lunch hour" livestream to discuss the already prolonged & severe marine heatwave affecting Pacific ocean near California. Also: are upcoming April showers connected to a West Pacific supertyphoon? https://youtube.com/live/SIRF3D4-ccs?feature=share

Paris-Roubaix does not reward the best rider. It rewards the one the road breaks least.

Watch this and then call your representatives and tell them to do something about it. tl;dr Our scientists and their invaluable research projects are not getting the funding that was approved by Congress #USPolitics #COwx

"According to Letters from Leo, the relationship between the White House and the Vatican has sharply deteriorated after Pope Leo XIV condemned the Iran war & called for global peace. Behind the scenes, U.S. officials reportedly threatened and pressured the Vatican, warning that America’s military power gives it the ability to act without restraint & pushing the Church to fall in line."

I can't believe we have reached this point, but this bears crystal clear emphasis: Our global climate system ensures that even "limited" use of lower-yield "tactical" nuclear weapons against civilian or industrial targets would have major regional-to-global scale consequences.

Watching Fedi and the world react to the US president go absolutely unhinged in public, threatening war crimes as his cognitive grip disintegrates before our eyes, watching the horror and the outrage…there is something I want to tell you from Minneapolis.

And I’m not sure how, and I’m not sure if I can, but I want to try. People are always thanking us and calling us heroes and asking us for some kind of…something, anything we can offer in the face of the authoritarian march, and well, here it is, here is something, if I can figure out how to say it.

My therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.
