This is absolutely incredible: the average temperature over the past six months (October-March) will end up at 52.5°F in #Albuquerque. That's 4°F above the previous record warmest. 🤯 Even after accounting for climate change, the odds of it being THAT warm are 1-in-123,000!! 🤯

I'll just go work in a bar to save the economy.

I'm on (broken) record lamenting that most equity teaching efforts try to "fix' the student or the teacher... Would be wonderful to start fixing the campus.

The loud boom heard in Cleveland and the light seen across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic... it was a meteor! GOES-19's geostationary lightning mapper picked up the brief flash of light.

Thundersnow???

When discussing the Iran War with my 8&6yo, they concluded that Trump is just thinking he's playing Stratego. I, on the other hand, thinks that such board games are way to high level as a comparison.

I'm somewhat surprised by the constant use of external motivators beyond grades/medals *outside* of the class room; e.g. regular little prizes after sports practice for my kids. By and large, they're just getting in the way. @josheyler.bsky.social and daughter, any thoughts?

Extreme Heat. During Frickin' Spring Training.

1billion per day is roughly what Musk, Bezos, Ellison, and Zuck make.

Real world implications aside, it's actually a pretty cool simple physics question to toss in my lectures. Back of the envelope gets me to roughly 0.01s/meter sea level rise. That's a leap second each quarter.

How did I miss this piece of sheer joy? Timeline, you disappoint me.

If this starts contributing to my h-index, I'm ok with such a BS death for a BS metric.

It has warmed my hearth to see we have reached over 200 signatures here :) Thank you to everyone who has put their name down. As this is picking up steam, together with other initiatives, and with some UCAR representatives, we're trying to make sure this reaches the general public, congress & NSF.

Sometimes people mention that I do a good job chairing a committee, and all I'm doing is following the simple rules that @lizlehfeldt.bsky.social keeps emphasizing:🧵

I'm not an expert, Lebron says, but when it comes to basketball I'd definitely go with comments on Reddit over Steph, Jokic, or Giannis.

Confirmed - we more than halved the energy use, meaning that even taking generation efficiency into account, we're still much more energy efficient with the HP. Even better in terms of CO2eq.

Update: -8F in the backyard, and heatpump kept the house in better shape than the oversized boiler did a few years ago. It did become slightly less efficient (~10% or so), but I'm confident it can handle any winter Cleveland would get.

You wanted Greenland, Greenland you shall have.

Awarding a Nobel Peace Prize to Rutte would be hilarious, possibly deserved, and probably start WW3.

Happy to report that my minisplit is gobbling up ~50+ degree days like it is nobody's business. Indoor temperature is steady, electricity usage scales perfectly - as long as I keep the unit snow&ice free. The new roof & insulation also cut the heating cost by ~20% this winter!

Isn't this simply Trump aligning himself with the affordability movement - right after Schumer c.s. declined the opportunity?

Nu dat Weijers weg is met feeksgate, kan Kaag alsjeblieft informateur worden?

@ionica.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gy !!

When is the Danish PM visiting Trump, and is the White House set still in print? The one including the East Wing?

"By taxing estates heavily at death the state marks its condemnation of the selfish millionaire's unworthy life. Of all forms of taxation, this seems the wisest." -- Andrew Carnegie

Putting on Going To A Town on repeat for no reason whatsoever.

This is what civil servants do while on furlough.

Am I the only one amazed by the exact number 88 dog whistles that supposedly fit in the east wing?

A friendly reminder that food banks are going to be busy next month, and that they can be super efficient with monetary donations ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/10/21/s...

Meanwhile, the Cuyahoga river that kickstarted the EPA by being so polluted that it burned, is now clean enough for sturgeon. bsky.app/profile/neor...

My new exam for a cloud physics class: Q1 (100pts) watch this timelapse. Describe everything.

That includes my own results. My biggest moments of imposter syndrome are when my computer simulations are supposed to reproduce observations. Pretty often, they turn out spot on. MAGIC.

Same here. And most of them, in hindsight, I'm happy not to have gotten.

As an example, it would have been lovely to have a bike rack to park my bike at my @clevelandclinic.bsky.social cardiology appointment this morning.

Lady, I'm Dutch. I've lived under water for most of my life. A tad bit of rain is not going to be noticeable.

Describing my time in Europe to US friends pretty much made everyone jealous about the futuristic way of living there. Bikes, parks, public transportation, walkable neighborhoods....

I invite everyone here to grab a drink with their friendly neighborhood Physics professor and ask them about "Einstein is wrong" correspondence.

"@marisakabas.bsky.social , an actual independent journalist whose scoops the Times has not credited." I lost the number of burns in this piece, but this one was particularly well deserved.

Technisch correct is de beste soort van correct. Dit zijn grote boeken met letters. ‪@spatiegebruik.nl

Marvelously written story. Not exactly sure what it tells us something about the international weather community, but I feel a bit more hopeful now anyway.

I wonder how much the OH Trump approval rating is going to be a predictor for Vivek 2026.

My backyard in Cleveland has been saying 74F dew point, 95F absolute temp for an 85F wet bulb. Would not recommend a Hyrox competition.

Go @katipiri.bsky.social !

Thank you, mayor Bibb, for making Cleveland an ever greater place to be. Happy Juneteenth!

I'll start with Smile though. The 2004 version was one of the more memorable concerts I've seen.

Flabbergasted that the least weird part of this sentence is the fact that schools systems have their own police force.

I could (somewhat) handle a lack of ASR funding for my own projects, but destroying the long term ARM measurement sites would be absolutely catastrophic.

Question from a livestream viewer: “How many lives are collectively impacted by [NOAA's] monitoring and rapid response work.” John Cortinas: “I don’t have any exact numbers, but I would probably start by saying the entire population of the United States…"

Sometimes I wonder if Wes Anderson wants most people to like his movies or if he'd prefer an exactly equal number of people on each side.
