My Ioniq 5 is awesome, I’d never go back to gas if you paid me

this makes me viscerally angry. what a cool tool lit on fire for no reason

Some of Mamdani’s policies are good, some are bad, a few are terrible, but the way he does politics is so refreshing I would totally vote for him if I lived in NYC

Knowing that RFK cries a little each time I get a vaccine makes it hurt a lot less

You versus the TC she tells you not to worry about

I’d take the other side of that bet

Monday. 5pm. 7th Ave from clarkson st. We looooveeeeeee congestion pricing!

I like cold and snow and mountains. I do not like heat, humidity, and insane politics

Following up after a weekend of observing #Erin. The real track fell on the left side of the ECMWF Ensemble guidance envelope, but near a solid cluster of members. Only one deepmind member showed a scenario remotely similar to what actually happened.

This morning's ECMWF Ensemble forecast scenarios for #Erin (left) vs Google DeepMind (right). Which do you think provides more useful information about tropical cyclone forecast uncertainty?

"Americans already understood Trump to be corrupt, and proved themselves willing to tolerate that. But now they are coming to believe that he is inept. In American politics, that is an unforgivable sin." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is an unprecedented time in our nation's history. Conspiracies, lies, and gaslighting are running amok. We need more scientists in Congress. I was born and raised here, and I am running to represent all Virginians from Chesterfield County to the Chesapeake Bay.

It is only a matter of time before this kills a lot of people

In 2028 my primary vote will go to whichever candidate promises the worst public humiliation for everyone involved in DOGE

Hey Sean Duffy the nyc subway works way better than this

Bowen ratio in disarray today @ KTPA

Florida is committing "enforced disappearance," a very serious violation of international human rights law. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i... www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...

This isn’t really a partisan thing and it probably makes me more mad than any of the other TX flooding stuff. We are just far too accommodating of people in denial about reality.

This is such a critical point that can be tough to make without seeming to minimize the current disaster. This event had a very high death toll for a U.S. disaster and the impacts are severe but in terms of total number of people directly affected and the geographic scope, it’s on the smaller size.

people are making fun of this guy, but the challenge is legit. getting people to take weather alerts seriously is a real problem, and if you send out too many warnings, people will ignore them. of course, it looks awful here but I am sympathetic to the conundrum.

Trying to figure out how to get (excellent quality) forecasts/warnings the last mile is tough, complicated, nuanced work without any easy scapegoat or fix. But once you burn enough tools to prevent the high-quality forecast, this kind of tragedy is going to happen way more often

They are simply not up to the task of defending the constitution and the people of this country. I haven’t gone this far yet on this, but I’m done. They have taken an oath and a responsibility and they’re willfully, even joyfully abdicating it.

Who will put up big signs in front of shuttered rural hospitals saying [GOP rep/senator’s name did this] and how can I donate to that effort

It is so hard to describe how sad I am to watch so much get blown up for the sake of the grievances harbored by so few. To all my Republican friends and family, if you want a forecast for a hurricane from now on, you’re on your own. You burned the tools I needed www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

This is maybe the first weather data loss that I can say will, without any doubt at all, kill people. This is some of the core data we use to diagnose rapid intensification when visible satellite and/or hurricane hunter data isn’t available. Anyone on/near the coast just got a lot less safe

I for one am pro letting more supercells into our great nation. Thank you President Biden! Make rotating updrafts great again!

Genuine question do these guys go through like a dozen drones a week or do little drones actually survive flying through violent tornadoes

Happy “Portland is insufferable for locals season” to all who celebrate! Good luck to the businesses I will see you in October

FINALLY Democrats are putting out HARD-HITTING ads. WATCH AND SHARE: #MAGAKidnappers

Can we please decide once and for all whether longitude goes from -180 to +180 or 0 to 360???

The crowd in Portland Maine earlier today, shortly after we all sang the star spangled banner. Keep it up team 🇺🇸

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

in nam3k and the stationary front we trust

This trend of “[x entity] performing better than the NWS after doge cuts” is really bothering me. The cuts are wrong and people will die from them. But none of the [x] entities have the long/detailed record to make verifiable claims on accuracy. All the examples are cherry picked n=1 or 2

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Leaving aside what you think of the protests* this is a great case study in how dataviz can shape the narrative. The same data could be used to tell very different stories based on what the author set for marker_width *I am in favor and plan to attend

The worst person alive is not Trump or Elon though I’m no fan of either. It’s this guy, by a lot

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III, and I count at least 15 of them that Donald Trump has also committed in whole or in part. Particularly notable right now: "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

Publish more negative results in science and politics and everything. Signed, a guy who devoted a ton of hours to writing votefwd letters in 2020 and 2024 (and bugged several of his friends to as well)

Reminder: Please call your House Representative and ask them to cosponsor and vote for HR 3816, the Weather Workforce Improvement Act. www.govtrack.us/congress/bil... If you've been in an area impacted by severe weather recently, tell them what a difference NWS warnings make.

Wow someone’s been looking at my list of most visited websites

“Hard drive computers” and acting as if each wfo a) has a green screen and b) needs it to issue core products This guy doesn’t know shit about NWS

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

For all the jokes about "meteorologists can be wrong half the time and still get paid" I would definitely not be paid very much if I couldn't correctly forecast what already did or did not happen last week

if you wanna tell a story about the importance of having in-situ obs between 925-500mb, this morning provides a pretty good case study IMO

Waking up to America the Beautiful being played on the chimes of the church in my small town on this sunny Memorial Day morning was a more emotional experience than I expected tbh. 🇺🇸 is worth fighting for, even (especially!) now

lol if you want to fix the reproducibility crisis why not stand up a National Reproducibility Lab and fund it generously
