Out of all the anti-Trump sentiment I heard from ~2 weeks in Europe, the one that hit hardest: "We feel sorry for you." They must have a strange way of communicating their respect since I hear back home we're so respected now.

Quite the sunrise over DFW this morning thanks to nearby convection.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

First hundo at DFW this year. About a month later than the mean.

Clearly it was a purely financial decision.

Man, screw Paramount.

Greg is calling a special session with one of the tasks being redistricting. I simply ask, what more can you gerrymander? Put me in the same district as Pampa? (I'm currently in the little arm in northwest Dallas Co... it's cool)

Best news I've seen in like a month

Glad storms finally started propagating southbound a little more decisively. ~3" / hr just west of downtown Dallas... around 5" total near Sylvan and I-30. Could have been pretty rough.

I already want to jab a fork into my eye.

The wx community agrees forecasts matched our scientific skill. The end users say it wasn’t good enough. Frustratingly, we’re dismantling the ability to improve prediction science, communication services, and partner relations. Instead of blame or defense, we need to say: This WILL happen again.

Not that the Italian government is a beacon but maybe I’ll stay in Italy

I’m very happy this account migrated to Bluesky

The Stars were the trendsetters.

If you want to make the Stanley Cup Final, but lose, just sign Corey Perry.

Would make for a good fortune cookie message.

I'm definitely not still bitter at Nurse and Bouchard hurting my dear Roope's foot + Perry being Perry. But then there's the Florida Panthers. So I'm still torn... hopefully it goes 7 games and somebody has their heart ripped out. Like I said, not bitter.

Looks like the last time Dallas Co was in a Moderate Risk / Level 4 was a little over two years ago (3/2/2023), but that one was driven by both wind and tornado potential. Today's is driven by wind potential, although there is a large hail threat and some tornado threat as well.

Apparently the league and its very own rulebook disagree. I love hockey. I love the Stars. And yes I'm clearly biased. But sometimes this league is a joke.

Thank you, Colorado. Maybe MacKinnon was a Rantanen merchant.

Real Chicagoans know tavern style blows deep dish out of the water. And more appropriate for a communion wafer.

Nico Harrison may try to trade Mikko Rantanen if he keeps this up.

On the flip side of Rantanen going nuclear, Jamie Benn is not playing well. Brutal turnover to let the Jets get one right back.

I love Finland.

If I had Mikko Rantanen on my team I simply wouldn’t trade him.

*A wild Mikko Rantanen appears*

best hockey game I’ve ever attended. I thought they were done. And Mikko just put the Stars on his back.

I love Finland.

They gotta kill me with a Game 7 every damn year.

I love the Finnish people.

This is G4 all over again. Stars look reasonable for the first 5ish min, then the Avs pop one, start picking up momentum. You think, well, if the Stars can get to the room at 1-0, that'll do, but then the Avs keep the pressure on and pop another. Dam broke. Prob can't let it get to 3-0 in the 2nd.

Ted is one of the most dedicated folks with whom I worked in the NWS, esp when it came to training the next generation of forecasters. The agency gained so much from his work. Most importantly, he alerted me about Mike’s Chicken in Dallas, which has since become my favorite chicken tender joint.

This is just the motivation I needed to complete my annual cybersecurity training.

This is like when someone gets bitten in The Last of Us.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO. #Stars

When the Stars actually play a structured, responsible game, their forward depth starts to take over at times. More of that please. Our 4th line was quality once again.

Happy Stanley Cup Playoffs, everybody. Hopefully you have your drinks, meds, AEDs, etc. ready.

this would be a disaster of untold proportions for the atmospheric sciences

they won the game, right??

after intense research, I've discovered I've been running a large trade deficit with the grocery store for the entirety of my life. to rectify this situation, for every meal I will light on fire 25% of my grocery bill.

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Yes I’m afraid the rumors are true. The SPC decides how many tornadoes there will be each day. To keep the SPC gods pleased, you must perform ritual sacrifice of a radiosonde twice per day.

Just west of Tylertown, MS potentially impacted by a second (probably strong) tornado not even an hour later. Ridiculous and awful

In my opinion, good early warning from New Orleans. Despite a more convergent than rotational signature in velocity, the separation vector between ZDR and KDP (perpendicular to storm motion) centers suggests potential for increasing rotation.

Get in loser, we're tanking the economy

every day I feel a little bit closer to disappearing in some rando town in Emilia Romagna, where I'll eat tortellini, parmigiano, mortadella and drink lambrusco until I pop. others are welcome.
