Informative update on the coastal storm impacting the Jersey Shore. Worst conditions to come tonight into the morning. #njwx https://youtu.be/3_qM2KMrzUc?si=f30yNWbEBKrMqSGz

Remembering the time I was at a 15-inning #ALDS game involving the Seattle #Mariners. While they didn't win that game, the Mariners would win the series. Got to see Don Mattingly's lone postseason homer and Mariano Rivera's first career postseason appearance, though. youtu.be/iYM6BxF_1xQ?...

For a central pressure that's not crazy low it's got some muscle on models

Round 1 for me seeing Young Gun Silver Fox this weekend...first up was today's incredible WXPN Free At Noon performance at Ardmore Music Hall. Round 2 comes Saturday night at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, NJ #livemusic #philly #ardmorepa #asburyparknj

Overnight and morning model guidance now suggesting a messy/late phase for the coastal storm, keeping heaviest rain and strongest winds offshore. Something to watch today and see what observations and 12z data show...

Here is a graphic from NWS Mount Holly-Philly showing the flood threat from the Sunday-Tuesday coastal storm. #njwx

RE: https://mastodon.social/@bktandem/115346397644650782 Latest forecast currently shows MAJOR flooding at Atlantic City and Ocean City around noon Sunday — levels not seen since Sandy (2012)...

PHI continues Coastal Flood Watch valid at Oct 12, 10:00 AM EDT for Eastern Monmouth, Middlesex, Western Monmouth [NJ] till Oct 13, 8:00 PM EDT #njwx https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/vtec/?year=2025&wfo=KPHI&phenomena=CF&significance=A&eventid=2&tab=textdata

Today's 12z Euro run paints a nasty picture for our Sun-Mon coastal storm. It's been quite a few model runs since I've seen 4"+ rain modeled for the Jersey Shore, but this run has it. Here are winds & precip shield for Monday morning, plus total rainfall. Not a forecast. Just one model run. #NJwx

Had no idea @philamuseum federated its Threads account. On the day it announces its slightly newish name and rebranding, I'm happy to follow the Philadelphia Art Museum on Mastodon.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/115327173796421198 This is hilarious...and I want one!

Apparently you can make me watch and share a 12 minute product advert if you hire Matt Berry and Jemaine Clement for it and let them loose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbO1z13WP8o

So...today's 12z Euro shows a landfalling tropical storm somewhere between LBI & Brigantine in New Jersey a week from tomorrow morning. Not a forecast, but there is a growing signal for something in that timeframe. Need to watch this over the next few days. #njwx

Getting fueled up for #redoctober Would really like to upgrade this mug for one with two different words over "Champions"

White House Deputy Press Secretary seen here posting data showing how much more prevalent right wing domestic terrorism is than left wing domestic terrorism... while thinking she's showing the reverse. Apparently she can only read headlines, but not the actual graph with the data.

Ooh... @lomoonband.bsky.social just posted this elsewhere: "Should we do a show in London to try out some new tunes? Philly might make sense too. Who knows what’s what these days." Please come to Philly!

Not sure if the second part of my reply to stop these messages from the Jack Ciattarelli campaign will negate the first part, but I definitely wanted to send this message.

Ugh...went out for a run and wound up like Trea Turner just over 1.5 miles in. 😞

#otd in 1997, Genesis released its 15th & final studio album, Calling All Stations. Ray Wilson replaced Phil Collins as frontman, while Nir Zidkyahu & Nick D'Virgilio handled drums. Although CAS was poorly received critically & commercially, it's actually a fine album. This should've been a hit […]

So...on the one hand, the Braves were up 3-0 by the time we got to our seats. On the other hand, the Phillies have hit 3 home runs and scored five runs since then. Make that 4 homers and 6 runs...BRYCE!

Ahhhhhhh! New music from Midlake! "The Ghouls" is from their upcoming album, A Bridge To Far, out Nov. 7, 2025! https://youtu.be/ph_nvka7QI8?feature=shared

Juan Soto walks despite seeing 8 strikes in his first at-bat of the night. Fucking bullshit...

Over the past month, I have been trying to find the water bottle holder I use when I run. In that time, I have found $127 in cash and $90 in unused gift cards...but not the water bottle holder. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

What the actual fuck?! Google is using AI to tweak YouTube videos without telling users. https://buttondown.com/creativegood/archive/aaa/

I admit, I am fascinated by how X users see the internet. I think some of them genuinely don’t know what websites are.

How big is the open social web, the #fediverse, #bluesky etc compared to the big commercial platforms? It's a bit sobering. From my recent talk "From millions to billions -- a plausible narrative for how to grow the open social web."
