Despite dry weather over the past month in SoCal, I'm actually more concerned regarding some potentially significant flood risk down south on Wed. A very strong cold front associated w/a very moist atmospheric river will be passing through at this time, w/high rain rates. #CAwx
Zoomed in map of predicted precipitation in Southern California over the next 7 days from the ECMWF model. Heavy to locally very heavy precipitation is depicted, including several inches in Los Angeles and up to 10 inches in the nearby mountains.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning. I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism. I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

A bee stung me as I rescued it from a pool today. I am not angry, it was probably reflexive flailing as it struggled against drowning. I’d do it again.

🧪 🧵1/4 #OTD in 1804 the great German mathematician Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi was born. The range of his scientific contributions was very wide. For instance, he published in 1829 a seminal treatise about the theory of elliptic function, so called because they derive from elliptic integrals. #math
