Wet bulb Glob temperature of 27C in the Midwest is scary, but I guess it is safe to add another 2C to account for heat islands in the cities. That's deathly.

Temperature is 98F Dew point 77F Wet bulb 82F Cleveland area is downright dangerous at the moment.

Say what now.

I propose a new pitching achievement, in the same vein as a Maddux: pitching at least 7 innings, 10 SO, and at most 2Earned Runs, still earning a loss. We'll call it a Bibee.

NCAR just won in court! A US district judge in Colorado has prohibited NSF from taking #NCAR apart, specifically in spalling off its supercomputing center in Wyoming. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Our earlier story on this and why it matters: www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪

If your CEO serves on the recently revamped National Science Board, are you eligible to apply? Asking for a friend in the Bay area.

Seriously confused about which Michael Mann, and what Heat. @michaelemann.bsky.social , what is your Erdos-Bacon number anyway?

Remember Sharpiegate? That was such a masterclass of relative intelligence.

Welp.

How can this be called misogynistic? They're clearly putting the women on a pedestal.

This might be a good (additional) reason not to slash ARM/ASR from the presidential budget proposal. Just spit balling here.

The strait of Hormuz is still open, but you first have to sing it's the end of the world (and I feel fine) correctly and at tempo.

I'd watch this Netflix show.

According to the number of idling cars exhausting fumes at the elementary school, gas is still too cheap.

Easily the coolest picture I've ever been in.

Evergreen. Students, faculty, and perhaps even admin are all alike. Alike in actually wanting to learn, alike in poorly reading emails, alike in procrastinating straight through deadlines. Some of them may even be alike in being human.

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.
